CLEARLAKE – Engage your senses at the Lake County Community Co-op Open House Thursday, Nov. 19.

The open house will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at 14773 Lakeshore Drive, Clearlake.

You are invited to engage all of your senses at the Lake County Community Co-op Open House. Come see all of the fresh, local produce and taste wonderful and nutritious snacks lovingly created with ingredients from recent CSA produce boxes. A variety of breads from Kelseyville Bakery will be available to delight your sense of smell and taste.

Feel and hear the excitement created as actual produce boxes are distributed. But the experience will not stop there… Have you ever seen an article about LCCC or heard a buzz about our Co-op at Clearlake’s Friday Night Farmers’ Market?  Have you ever watched “Lake County Community Co-op Presents…” on TV8 and wondered how you could attend the demonstrations? Well, Thursday’s open house will be an excellent opportunity to satisfy your sense of curiosity and find out what the buzz is all about.

Committee members will be available to answer questions about purchasing our modified CSA produce boxes, volunteering with the Community Gardens project, shopping through our Buying Club, or participating in upcoming educational opportunities.

And, perhaps the most important sense of all is the sense of community that LCCC is creating in Clearlake and throughout Lake County. Come feel the warmth and prosperity that the Co-op has been nurturing.

Current members who bring a non-member friend receive a free gift. Members of the Co-op receive the opportunity to buy bulk dry goods through the buying club and the weekly CSA produce boxes, which help contribute to supporting local and regional organic growers and lessens the environmental footprint from agriculture.
