Were looking for volunteers to help us at #CountryFair on September 3rd! There will be plenty of things to help out with -- from set-up and take-down to running the raffle, the dunk tank, helping with kids games, and of course, washing dishes!

Glad to see our former white produce cooler put to good use at @dentzfarm! This took 11 people last Monday to move out of our shop and into a truck to make its way over to Dentz Farm! This is community. #grateful #communityeffort . . . #Repost @dentzfarm with @get_repost ... Our mini renovation is complete! Weve increased display cooler storage to continue to ensure the produce you are buying is as fresh as fresh can be! A small renovation with a big impact. Have you seen the changes yet? We hope you like it as much as we do. See more

This week we moved more and more items out of our old shop, and were so pleased that we can see things being repurposed and used in other non-profits and neighbour co-ops... like this beautiful barn board shelving. These planks of wood were gathered by volunteers at producer-member Baba Link farms in 2012, made into shelves by Fourth Pig: green & natural construction co-op, and lived in our space for 6 years. Now theyve traveled to Hamilton to be used and loved by The Mustard Seed: Hamiltons Community Grocery. Thanks, friends. Were glad to see them looking gorgeous up on your walls. #cooperationamongcoops #hamont #sharingiscaring #community

Wow, talk about a #tbt moment! On this day 6 years ago, WEFC was featured in Metro Newspaper about the opening of our "Grub Hub" in Parkdale. The community came out to celebrate our opening, dropped by to say hi, and dreamed up a vision with us about what a #communityowned local food grocery store would be. Join us to say goodbye to our storefront next week Tuesday July 31 between 10am-8pm. And dont forget that well have our AGM in September, so that you can have a say in what direction WEFC will take next. #throwbackthursday #tbt #wefc #storeclosing #newbeginnings
