For some time now, customers at the Co-op have been aware of the many benefits of turmeric. Demand has been high for the organic turmeric powder and, when available, the fresh turmeric root.
With the increased space in our new Big Little Shop we have been able to add lots of lovely new products to treat you, your home and garden, and to give as gifts. They’re creating quite a buzz!
Remember, an egg’s not just for Easter. Vigilant shoppers may have noticed some carob Easter eggs around the shop recently. We anticipate them being sold out before Easter, along with the seasonal Banjo Bear mini Easter eggs.
