to me: “Where do I start?!”
Thymes Editor
I’m grateful for my family, my home,
my health, silly jokes, living in Corvallis, and my leg
warmers.
I’m grateful to work at the Co-op, where supporting
our community is how we do business every day
(see pp. 6,13 & 15). It’s part of why I’m proud to
work here and proud to be an owner. It was so
much fun talking to other staff and customers on the
floor about gratitude and taking photos for the cover.
Our community is wonderful!
Even when I’m not feeling well (like right now;
achoo!), it lifts my spirits to support a co-worker.
And the converse is true. When we’re down,
allowing someone to support us is a gift because
THEY benefit from helping us.
When we take care of ourselves, we can better be
there for others. So let’s remember to take care
of ourselves by connecting with others, exercising,
having fun, resting, and eating healthy foods. 

tip of the month
easy, money-saving tips from Donna’s kitchen
Turkey Broth made easy
Thanksgiving dinner is over and
you have a turkey carcass sitting
on a cutting board in your kitchen.
As you are cleaning up the kitchen,
put the carcass, bones and skin in a
large pot, cover with water, add an
onion, a couple carrots and a few
stalks of celery, with their leaves.
Heat on high until it comes to a boil,
and then lower heat and simmer
for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool
slightly. Place a colander over a
large bowl or another pot, ladle the
largest pieces into the colander, then
pour the remaining liquid and turkey
parts into the colander. When the
meat and bones are cool enough to
work with, remove the remaining
meat, discarding the fat, skin and
bones. Put the meat back into the
broth and refrigerate overnight.
Next day, skim the fat of the
broth and ladle into containers for
freezing. I like to divide broth into
approximately 8-cup portions. Later,
it can be used for making turkey
and noodles or
soup or stew or
any number of
delicious dishes!
spice up your holiday meals

you need to make your feasts great, all the

tofu for alterna-turkeys, cornmeal for

When the big day is over, the bulk
department can help with some different
ways to get rid of the leftovers besides
the same old turkey sandwiches. Kidney,
pinto, small red, and lima beans are
a good combo for turkey chili. Pick up
masa harina for turkey tacos with hand
rolled corn tortillas, or one of the many
types of pasta for some turkey pasta

dish you desire.Thinking menu planning?

he Philadelphia Folksong Society has teamed up with organizations around Philadelphia to launch
the Philadelphia Music Co-op (PMC). The Co-op offers showcase, networking, promotion, gig
booking, and distribution opportunities for folk musicians. PMC employs co-op values of
shared ownership and a holistic approach to development to help artists help themselves. After
14 months of research and development, PFS and partners have tailored the Co-op to respond
to artists’ needs in Philadelphia and beyond. The Philadelphia music scene is vibrant and unique
and the PMC is geared towards helping artists book concerts, record CDs and vinyl albums,
promote music, and build their professional network. Philadelphia may be far away, but the ideas and
principles set forth by the PMC could be as local as we make them. Any Corvallis folk enthusiasts want to
take something like this on? For more information check out: www.pfs.org/content/philadelphia-music-co-op.

Region and area of operation:
We sell to restaurants, small
grocery stores and individuals from
Eugene to Portland.
How long have you been in
the business? We started raising
poultry for meat and eggs, rabbits
and pigs when we lived in SE
Portland in 1998. We purchased
the ranch in Scio in 2001 with the
purpose of adding the buffalo in
addition to the chickens, rabbits,
pigs, and other poultry.
What do you produce? We
raise buffalo, chickens for eggs and
meat, ducks for eggs and meat,
rabbits, turkeys, and pigs. We also
own Scio Poultry Processing which
is a USDA-approved and Animal
Welfare-approved slaughter facility
for processing our own poultry and
poultry for other small growers.
our story:
“Joe was raised on a large farm
in Iowa and he always wanted
to return to his roots. I, on the
other hand, was raised in New
York City, so farming and ranching
were foreign concepts to me.We
met while we were both living in
Portland, and when he told me he
wanted to purchase a ranch to
raise buffalo, I told him, “Let me
know how that turns out for you!”
“We purchased our 120 acre
property in 2001 and added
another 25 acres in 2003.We
raised chickens, rabbits and pigs in
Portland and brought those animals
to Scio with us.The first buffalo
arrived on the ranch in 2002 and
we made our first sale of buffalo
meat in 2003.
What does the Co-op buy
from you? Buffalo meat.
How long have you sold to the
Co-op? We have been selling to
the Co-op since January 2003 almost 10 years now.
What sustainable practices
does your business employ?
We use no chemicals or pesticides
on our ranch. We use a rotational
grazing method (following Joel
Salatin’s model) where we put
the buffalo on a pasture, then we
follow them with the pastured
chickens (meat birds), then we cut
our hay, and return the buffalo to
the pastures again. All of our hay
for the buffalo comes from our
own pastures. We have seen the
health of our pastures improve
significantly due to this rotational
grazing practice.
Please describe your business
philosophy: We truly believe
that we are what we eat. We raise
healthy food to promote the health
and well-being of our customers.
We also believe in raising our
animals humanely to ensure
their quality of life, knowing this
produces the highest quality of
meat and poultry.
“We often joked that Rain Shadow
El Rancho took on a life of its own
and we were just along for the ride.
We have continued to add new
customers each year and have
tried to keep up with the demand
for our meat and poultry products.
We added Scio Poultry Processing
in 2008 when it became necessary
for us to process our own birds
and rabbits as well as processing
for other small growers.We were
very pleased to be Animal Welfareapproved in 2011 - being the only
poultry processor in Oregon to
obtain this certification.
“We have watched our business
continue to grow over the years,
and it is very rewarding to hear
our customers tell us how much
they appreciate what we do.We
strive to produce high quality meat
and poultry products, knowing
that is what makes our customers
continue to purchase from us year
after year.”

A little about gluten free flours...
- Emily Stimac, Marketing Assistant
When my sister self-diagnosed herself with a wheat
intolerance about seven years ago, neither of us had heard
the term 'celiac disease’ and gluten was something that
came in a can from the Asian market. After a week or so
of just switching to spelt she felt better.
Then we dug deeper and she tried cutting out as much
gluten as possible from her diet. It was amazing where we
found it—soy sauce, red licorice…BEER! But we were
diligent.
Her sick stomach, mood swings, and the dark circles under
her eyes began to fade. She didn’t know that she could feel
that good. After 23 years of life, she was feeling, for the
first time, like most healthy people feel.
In the seven years since that time we have played a lot
with alternative flours and found that there are all sorts
of great options for baking that don’t include the gluten.
Often a mix is the best for both flavor and texture. In
recent years the market for products has just exploded
and awareness of gluten intolerance has risen. She’s not
alone, there are lots of folks out there who are suffering
the same as she was.
If you or someone you love is sensitive to gluten, there’s
no reason to skip the gravy or pumpkin pie this holiday
season. Using alternative flours is easy!
Here’s a brief primer to get you started on how and what
to use, or grab one of our delicious baking mixes, like the
locally made Sans Gluten SVP or Gluten Free Mama’s, and
hit the kitchen!

Art at the South Store
Ginny Morse is 76 and has been painting for only five years.
She discovered her passion for acrylic painting when her
daughter gifted her with painting supplies. Her years as a
beautician gave her an eye for color and detail that she now
uses to paint landscapes. The biggest inspiration has been
the amazing color pallette and diversity that the Oregon
landscapes provide, from lighthouses to mountains.

South Store Cafe area.

What brought you to the Co-op?
Good food brought me to the Co-op.
The open, inclusive, cooperative
energy and encouragement of selfexpression made me want to work
here.
What do you like best about
your job?
I love the awesome and unique
breed of co-workers and customers
with whom I am blessed to share
my day. I am so grateful to work
here. How cool is it that customers
frequently express their appreciation
of our stores and employees to us. I
appreciate you all too!
How has working at the Co-op
affected your life?
I’m definitely a better person - how
could I not be in the influence of so
many amazing people with such a
variety of talents, specialties and points
of view?
What are some of your favorite
products at the Co-op?
Bananas, avocados, Co-op Kitchen
hummus and burrito fixin’s are always
in my shopping basket.
What do you like to do outside
of work?
Listen to music, dance, catch sun, hang
out with friends, surf, bike, run, create.
Where did you grow up/where
have you lived in your life?
I was born and raised in south Jersey
(yes directional distinction matters).
I spent a couple of college years in
Pennsylvania, and I traveled and lived in
Hawaii for an extended period of time
before I moved to Corvallis about 7
years ago.
Tell us something about yourself
others might not know
I may be more of an explorer than a
ninja, but I fall somewhere in between
the two and the mythical creature
known as the unicorn. But I don’t
poop rainbows.
If you had three wishes…
Wishes are for fishes.
Where are some of your favorite
travel destinations?
Parks, the Oregon coast, Breitenbush
Hot Springs. I hope to return to
Hawaii soon.
Where do you see yourself in 10
years?
I’ll probably have reinvented myself
several times over by then, so
who knows? But I’m hopeful I’ll
be burning brightly, pursuing and
achieving the goals of my wildest
dreams and desires, living a life of love
as a frequent traveler to beautiful
and exotic lands and finding myself
amongst good friends.
What music is playing in your
car, home, or head?
That is constantly changing, but
remains a good mix of hip hop,
electronica, and drum and bass mostly.
I’m currently listening to Diplo,
Gladkill, and Erykah Badu. I love, love
the Grouch and Eligh.
What are your top 5 favorite
things about Corvallis?
First Alternative Co-op, my friends
and community, all the parks in this
beautiful little town, bike lanes and the
temperate weather.
What is one thing you would
change at the Co-op?
That a greater number of people
in the community would have the
opportunity to work at the Coop. They would learn more about
our store, organics, fair trade and
sustainable practices, as well as
experience our cooperative culture
from an internal perspective.

thank you letters
Thank you for your contribution to Assistance
League, which we used to purchase groceries
to create soups, side dishes, breads, cakes,
cookies, condiments, and beverage mixes
to be sold at The Galleria and Winter’s Eve
from our donation recipients
The 7th Cooperative Principle is
“Concern for the Community.”
First Alternative fulfills this principle in
its role as a cooperative by donating to a
variety of organizations in our community.
Here is a small sampling of the many thankyou letters we’ve received this past year.
Thank you for your
gift of $312.00 to
the Corvallis Public
Schools Foundation
which we received on 9/6/2012 and
placed in a school district account named
531-639 District Homeless Ed.
Our goals are to provide students
with expanded learning opportunities
and materials, to reward, honor, and
develop outstanding teachers and staff,
and to build fundraising capacity for
individualschools. Thank you for your
donation and the spirit in which you have
chosen to support this effort.
Sincerely,
Brenda VanDevelder, Executive Director
Corvallis.
Your generosity helps us raise money to support our five
philanthropies:
• Operation School Bell last year clothed 785 K-12 students.
• Dental Education instructed 910 sixth graders about good
dental care.
• SAT Review helped 220 high school students prepare for the
SAT.
• Hug-a-Bears were given to 372 children in crises.
• CARES (Clothing Assistance in Real Emergency Situations)
provided 110 people with clothing at the Emergency
Department of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center.
• Hygiene Help provided 175 families with essential household
and personal supplies.
All members of Assistance League thank you!
Best regards, Charlene Hunter, ALC Foods Chairman
We are very grateful to First
Alternative Cooperative for
your contribution to the LBCC
Foundation Parent Education
Fund. With your help, we are
able to support a program
that supports parents,
improving their lives and the
lives of children. What could
be more important? Your
support and generosity means
so much to us all. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dale Stowell
Thank you so much recent gift of $252 from Beans
for Bags. Your generosity makes a difference in the
lives of local kids and teens each day, and it will
help us assist more than 1800 members this year.
Our Club continues to evolve to reflect current community needs,
and this is an especially critical time for the children and families in
our community. Adopting a holistic approach to provide meaningful
activities that serve the whole child, our Club offers a full banquet
of services, including: serving a healthy and nourishing dinner to
400 kids daily; providing tutoring; teaching leadership skills; offering
art, music, and athletic programs; and providing dental services to
low-income, underinsured children.
We offer our programs and services at a significantly low cost because
we believe that all children should have a place where they can reach
their full potential. It is the generous support of donors like you that
enables us to continue to deliver quality programming to youth.
Together, we build a stronger community by supporting our youth
in attaining a future of academic and social success. Thank you for
making a difference!
Sincerely, Helen Z. Higgens, CEO & Liz Doyle, Director of Development

spice to satisfy the heartiest appetite. You’ll never miss the
turkey!
