Creek Cleanup
Each year, Butte Environmental Council teams up with the City of Chico, Butte County, and the Great Sierra River Cleanup to pull TONS of trash and recyclables out of our creeks and beloved park. This year the Co-op organized a team of Co-op staff and owners to help out. We helped clean Little Chico Creek, Big Chico Creek, Lindo Channel, Lower Bidwell Park, and the Comanche Creek Greenway.
Co-ops Growing
July has been an exciting month for food cooperatives around the country. Co-op owners have created more stores, new services, and expanded food offerings in their communities. As we in Chico prepare for the major project of moving and growing our own Cooperative, we want to show off the amazing things being done by our sister-stores around the nation.

Big Island Organics Gingerade
Lemonade is a timeless summer classic. The beautifully simple combination of sugar and lemon, sweet and sour, has delighted thirsty mouths for generations. Big Island Organics has improved on this well-loved beverage by adding one more irresistible ingredient: fresh-pressed, organic, yellow ginger. The natural spiciness of the Hawaiian-grown ginger perfectly complements the familiar flavors of organic agave nectar and lemon juice. Big Island also offers a Gingerade Mate which adds the energizing influence of Guayaki Yerba Mate to the already healthful effects of ginger. Try a Big Island Gingerade of your choice for a delicious, nutritious twist on classic lemonade.
Angel Chocolate Company
“Pure love is the base of everything”. So says Richard Helmsey, the local artisan behind the irresistible Angel Chocolate Company. Pure Love is also the name of his simplest, most universally beloved product: raw Ecuadorian cacao paste, wild flower honey, cacao butter, Himalayan sea salt, and Tahitian Vanilla bean are all combined to create a delicious, beguilingly uncomplicated raw chocolate bark. Helmsey adds rich, natural ingredients to his Pure Love to make other toothsome delights: the singular “Olive the Thyme!” bar includes Bojia olives and dried thyme to create an utterly unique flavor experience, while his “88 Almonds” is an exceptional take on the classic combination of almonds and chocolate. New varieties of the Angel Chocolates come out periodically, so keep an eye out for new ways to feel the Love.
