Happy New Year!


We are going to try something new this year. We are going to start out with a tribute to Marjorie Stroud of Double Springs who shops at Winston Farmers Co-op in Haleyville. She has sent in more recipes than anyone else. We have received enough to fill this page and probably enough to fill all the recipe pages for the year!

For the rest of the year, we are going to feature recipes from three counties determined by a random drawing of the counties that have Co-op stores. If you live in one of these counties or support the Co-op in one of these counties, please send us a recipe.

Next month we want to feature recipes from the following counties: Blount (Blount Co. Farmers Co-op), Cullman (Cullman Farmers Co-op) and Dallas (Central Alabama Farmers Co-op).

Looking forward to hearing from you!
