This month, the Buyer’s Club will take their first order.

Treasurer Patrick Kenna encourages all members to join the group for this historic event. “First, we will learn the open source software and then volunteers will help members make their first order,” Kenna said.

The meeting is at the Hot Spot, the youth activity center in Clearlake, 4750 Golf Ave.

California Certified Organic Farmers Inspector Lars Crail will be the guest speaker at this month’s meeting.

Crail, raised in Lake County, is an organic pear and grape farmer and a board member of the Lake County Farm Bureau.

His talk will include helping members wend their way through the various definitions used in organic food production.

“Food safety and food security are very prominent topics, and helping our members get educated about these important issues is a top priority right now,” said Co-op Chair JoAnn Saccato.
