The Snohomish and Monroe Co-Op want to take a moment to say Thank You to our communities. We absolutely love being an integral part and a staple in the communities we love. We have been around for 88 years this year in 2023, and our focus to serve our community in every way we can is as vibrant as ever. So here is a Thank You to you all, who have supported us with your loyalty over the years and will for many years to come.

Many of us get our trees ready and set for the growth season in late winter/ early spring with pruning, weeding, netting, and even reshaping our tree berms. These are necessary steps and will greatly improve the success of your tree but there are some other tasks we can do in the summertime that we are gonna talk about!

We are in the peak of bonfire season now as we continue to enjoy the dry weather and the outdoors. Many of us have fond memories around a fire whether it is camping or in the backyard. Here at the Co-op we have some fire and outdoor essentials to make it easier than ever to enjoy your time with nature and loved ones.

We are lucky in the Pacific Northwest to receive a good amount of sun and rain during the growing seasons. However, to keep our lawns and gardens green and growing throughout dry summer stretches, some attention will need to be given to irrigation.

Are you tired of having to get out in the rain and snow to open up your gate to your property? Maybe you have a gate that separates your pasture from your house but you use it all the time? The Snohomish and Monroe Co-op started carrying a brand called Ghost Control and they have amazing options to create the perfect gate for you and your property that is able to adapt to your property needs.

We generally consider goats the lawn mower of the animal world. They have a very tough digestive system that can handle most things and they do a great job at eating things right down to the nub. While other ruminants like to graze on pasture, goats like to nibble here and there. They actually prefer shrubs, weeds, and plants more than the grasses but still effectively eat them.
