October 2025 Newsletter
Happy October, Graze Members! As the leaves turn golden, the air turns crisp and the wonderful smells of fall baking fill our kitchens, we're celebrating something else that comes this time each year: National Co-op Month!
This year is extra special because 2025 is also the International Year of Cooperatives, which means the whole world is recognizing the power of the co-op model! Graze isn't just a grocery store—it's a shared vision powered by you, our member-owners, and a vibrant global movement. Read our latest press release to learn more about Graze’s commitment to strengthening the local economy and the significant collective savings YOU, our member-owners, have realized through the membership discount!
🎁 Holiday pop-up vendors wanted
We’re looking for pop-up vendors to make the season bright for co-op shoppers! Perfect for cottage food bakers and small businesses, a co-op pop-up is a fun way to engage with the community and introduce your brand. Contact us to get on the schedule!
🦃 Pre-order your holiday turkey
Pre-order your Ferndale Market frozen turkey, smoked turkey or bone-in turkey breast at Graze! And new this year, Ferndale Market 32oz turkey gravy! Gluten-free, made locally in small batches and features clean ingredients you can feel good about. It comes frozen in a one quart container. Just thaw and heat when you’re ready to serve.
All Ferndale Market turkeys are free-range, antibiotic-free, and naturally processed – with no added salt, water, or fillers of any kind. We know you’ll taste the difference! Pre-order your turkey in-store or by filling out a form here.
