MISSION: The Pacific Island Food Coop on Saipan is member-owned and operated, food cooperative which offers real food (what others call health food) at reasonable prices (at cost). We feature non-Genetically modified (Non-GMO), preservative-free, sugar-free, wheat-free, MSG-free, gluten-free, pesticide-free, meat-free, environmentally-friendly, sustainable, organic food, as well as bio-degradable, cruelty-free, recyclable household products from individuals and companies who care about our planet and who share a unique view of real health.
If you share the growing view that real health and wellness doesn't come in the form of factory-made, genetically altered things in boxes or cans, or from pills with multiple side-effects but from a return to what's natural, and if you have certain natural products you'd like to order or see on our shelves, then please join with us! www.pacificislandfoodcoop.org
OUR FIRST ORDER!
Yay! We did it! Our first group order went out
to Shopnatural! This first order will ship to us here
via UPS Pacific. It's a little pricey, but at least we should receive it within
the week. Meanwhile, Jerry at ShopNatural has indicated that
he'll look into the possibility setting up a Flat Rate Priority Option.
p.s. We'll notify those who ordered when the shipment arrives.
ORGANIC FARMING UPDATE
At the last meeting, Lisa Hacskaylo's organic farming update sparked a
lot of discussion, ideas and a few tasks which our members
will be following up with. (Details to follow)

ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM OUR MEMBERS
DANIEL LAMAR - For those interested in making their own
soy milk, you can get a handy table-top SOY MILK MACHINE

would be $169 plus shipping. Daniel's already taken care of
that, plus gotten a great discount. He ordered 6, and now has
just 4 left for the bargain price of $115. (With quarts selling
for $3 at the local supermarket, this will pay for itself in just
a few uses. Call Daniel at 670 287 7245
