Co-op Community | Summer Quarterly 2017
Summer's Feature Produce: Peppers
Meet your summer staple: peppers.
Thanks to Humboldt County’s rich soil and long, warm summers, we get to enjoy plenty of peppers to pick and pickle – Peter Piper wound be envious. Whether roasted, ground, fresh or dried, peppers add flavor to any dish and at the Co-op, taste as good as they look.
