Hi Dave, Great idea. Our flyer is online here, it's under 'files' to the left of this post. It is also available at our web site, www.oklahomafoods.org near...

The Board of Directors has been discussing the issue of "products that can be sold through the cooperative" over the past week, and we have reached a point...
I agree with Robert!!! We still have a lot to do for the coop & rushing in to politics is not something I would be interested in now. Just my opinion...
