While there is still some work to day (talk about incredible dedication from these volunteers), as more and more detail is added, the more sweet smelling the flowers become; the more juicy looking the peppers look; and everything is starting to pop out of the wall. Even if you drove by last week, you'll want to cruise by again this week to see the difference.<br />

A near east side neighbor said that the mural and the grocery were all the talk during church this morning. A dozen kids stopped by to see what was happening and learned about some new vegetables. A group of neighbors stopped by anxious to volunteer. A Latino priest rode by on his bike and asked about ways he could get his parish involved with the co-op.<br />

Among those volunteers were members of the co-op, neighborhood residents, and about a dozen Tech High School National Honor Society Seniors.<br />
<br />
After three years of planning, tangible signs of a new grocery store along East 10th Street have arrived. The volunteers painted a mural that screams FOOD so that there will be no mistake about the cornucopia of healthy, fresh, local food housed inside those front doors. Other volunteers working indoors worked on scrapping, cleaning and prepping the area that will soon be the office of the co-op's general manager.<br />
<br />

That team included local graphic designers and Irvington residents, <a href="http://www.visualgravvity.com/index.html">Sara Lunsford</a> and Jackie Norris, local photographer, Coleman Norris, and near east sider, Sarah Charles. The Indy Food Co-op is so appreciative of these local artists sharing their time, talent and creativity to make the mural such a tremendous success!<br />

Also, local videographer/filmmaker, Steven Shattuck, volunteered his time to capture a portion of the day on film. Look for his edited video on the Indy Food Co-op website soon, and thanks to Steven for contributing this additional creative element to the co-op effort.<br />

Katherine dropped by a yummy Japanese rice dish, and Bruce provided an incredible pan of brownies flavored with a hint of tangerine zest (we need this recipe for the co-op cook book)!<br />
<br />
Critical to our on-going success has been the support of the media to help spread the word about the co-op. Thanks to Jim Poyser and Moriah from <a href="http://www.nuvo.net/">NUVO Newsweekly</a> and Bill Brooks from <a href="http://www.brookspublications.com/Urban_Times_Front_Page.html">Urban Times</a> for covering the mural project as well as the on-going progress of the Indy Food Co-op and Pogue's Run Grocer.<br />

Thanks alone is not enough.

</div><div class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In fact, the 40,000 residents living on Indianapolis’ near eastside have few options for healthy, fresh food in the community since two major grocery chains moved out of the neighborhood in the past several years. Many, especially those without vehicles and seniors, are forced to shop for their daily food needs at nearby convenience stores, offering only low-nutrition, high-cost options.</span></div><div class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The mural was developed by local graphic designer, Todd Decker, whose conceptual design was selected by Indy Food Cooperative, Inc., the non-profit organization opening Pogue’s Run Grocer later this spring.</span></div><div class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In addition, a team of other local artists have helped bring Decker’s vision to life by overseeing the project, working several nights to transfer images to the wall in preparation of the volunteer workday. Those experienced mural artist volunteers include Sara Lunsford, Jacqueline and Coleman Norris and Sarah Charles. The wall will be created in a paint-by-number style to allow community participation, even from non-artists.

Since that time, a group of dedicated volunteers have been working hard to secure a location, raise funds and build membership for a grocery cooperative near downtown. The goal of the store is to support the local economy, while making local, fresh, organic and affordable food and products available to urban neighborhoods that currently are not served by healthy grocery options. The store will be open to the general public, offering additional benefits to its members. In addition to operating a store, Indy Food Co-op is dedicated to educating the community on healthier eating through outreach programs, cooking classes and more. The organization has reached 257 members to date, and the store is expected to open its doors in late Spring 2010, seeking to reach the 300 member mark by that time. In addition to memberships, the co-op is being supported by many community partners offering grants, pro bono services and volunteer time.

And, many are excited to see a grocery store coming to East 10th Street.<br />
<br />
Please plan to help us on April 10. We will not only be painting the mural, but also working on other projects, including cleaning all the incredible equipment donation by Cafe Patachou!<br />

I have long been passionate for fresh, healthful, consciously produced foods. I dug my first vegetable garden in my parents’ backyard as a youth, then began using food-based home remedies for health and wellness in my teens. My first job at age fourteen was stocking produce at O’Malia’s. Since the early days I have worked for sustainable, organic, and permaculture farms, farmers’markets, and natural foods stores, rising to management in both agriculture and retail. Additionally, I pursued training as a community herbalist and offer services and products related to whole foods nutrition and medicinal plants. </span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria;">I have been intrigued by interesting happenings in Indianapolis in the area of urban agriculture and sustainable food networks. I grow much of my own food and gather more from wild plants. Naturally, when I learned that a food cooperative was forming I was eager to be a part of it; I decided then that I wanted to be the manager. Spreading knowledge and awareness about food and health choices is part of my personal mission, and Pogue’s Run Grocer offers me a great opportunity to do so. I look forward to offering you the best fresh, local, and organic food available in Indianapolis; I look forward to being a resource for the community as well. </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria;">Sincere thanks,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Greg Monzel</span></i></span></span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></p></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(151, 141, 36); font-weight: bold; ">Store Update</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Cambria;">With over $200,000 in grants secured, the Indy Food Co-op is well on it's way to getting your community-owned grocery opened this year.
