People's News

Just over a year and a half ago Ocean Beach People’s Organic Food Market opened a new business, the O.B. Garden Café. Since then, many of our owners and members of the community have enjoyed delicious organic food in the beautiful garden setting. We appreciate everyone who supported the café, as well as the amazing staff who put their hearts and souls into the new endeavor. Unfortunately, the café did not sustain the amount of business needed to make it a viable venture. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the O.B. Garden Café will cease operations as of Sunday, September 15, 2019. We will be open through Saturday the 14th, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. though some menu items may not be available. Again, I give my sincerest thanks to café staff, past and present, who gave their all to try and make the O.B. Garden Cafe successful.
 
Sincerely,
Jim Kase
General Manager

Board of Directors’ Information Table
Saturday, September 21, 12 – 2 p.m.
 
       You are invited to stop by People’s Board of Directors’ information table, located at the entrance to the market, on August 10, 2019 between 12 and 2 p.m. Board Directors will be available to answer questions about co-op governance and the responsibilities of the board.
       For example, the board requires a non-board member to join the Nominating Committee. Being a member of the board’s Nominating Committee is a great way to work with the board, while maintaining and improving the nominating process. By joining this committee you will have the opportunity to be engaged in the Board of Directors’ election from beginning to end as well as encourage and educate owners about the importance of voting.
       As fellow owners of our 46-year-old food cooperative, which includes People’s O.B. Garden Café, we need you to participate in our democratically-run business and this is one of many ways to get involved!
