Sheila Offers a Great Gift Idea
Valley Natural Foods member-owner #10 is not only one of our long-time members, but also a long-time cashier here at the store. Sheila suggests that giving a co-op membership to someone on your Christmas list is a great gift that will keep on giving for a lifetime. A co-op membership has a one-time fee of $100 (fully refundable at anytime). Benefits members enjoy are:
-
Monthly Member Discount
-
Case Discounts for Members
-
Member-Only Coupon Books
-
Monthly Member Specials
-
Patronage Refunds
-
Ownership of a Community-Based Business
If a gift membership is too high for the budget, why not consider a co-op gift card which can be issued in any desired amount. Co-op gift cards can be purchased at the customer service counter, and can be used at Valley Natural Foods or other Twin City Co-ops.
Next time you see Sheila, ask her to tell you why she has enjoyed membership over the years!

Our 24 year old son lives on the East Coast and every year when he visits during the holidays we make sure that a trip to Valley Natural Foods is on the agenda. He loves to cook and experiment so a trip to Valley is always a treat. This year he will not be able to visit during the holidays because of work committments so we though we would bring Valley Natural to him. A gift basket with lots of little goodies from Valley would be a gift that is healthy and very much appreciated. Our first stop was to the Zum Soap Bar where you cut your own soap. After cutting 5 bars (I could not resist 2 for me) of delicious smelling goat milk soap it was off to find other items that did not weigh too much since we were shipping them. We found some delicious extra dark chocolate bars that were on sale (i’ll have to ship this soon as I love dark chocolate too). Medicinal teas were also on sale and the throat coat sounded cute so we picked one of those too. I won’t bore you with any more of our aisle by aisle selection but all in all we have lots of items to fill our sons gift basket. He will really be surprised this year and it is a gift that parents are proud to give.
