Lowest Price in Limerick  SynerChi Raw Kombucha - a healthier soft drink We strive to provide our customers with both great quality food and great prices. We won't be beat on organic fruit and veg. prices and can say the same for SynerChi Live Kombucha - once again we can offerthe lowest price in Limerick! SynerChi Kombucha is a healthier soft drink alternative that is certified organic, dairy, gluten & soy free and only 59 kCals a bottle. Kombucha is also 100% natural with no preservatives, additives or artificial colours. This ancient Chinese fermented tea contains raw enzymes, live culture and antioxidants and can help aid digestion - making it a great alternative to other fizzy soft drinks. While 330ml of a fizzy drink contains approximately 138 kCal, SynerChi Kombucha has only 59 kCal a 330ml bottle plus all the extra health benefits too! SynerChi Kombucha typically retails at €2.69 a bottle but here in Limerick Community Grocery we have the lowest prices in the city at only €2.14 a bottle! Come try this healthy and delicious soft drink in stock at our Mulgrave Street depot. For more on SynerChi Kombucha visit their website or check out this Irish Times article.

New Website and New Look Social Media As part of Limerick Community Grocery's re-branding we are excited to launch our new website shortly. The website will have a new name and new look as well as new ways to keep up to date with all your community co-op news. Over the summer the website was developed by our Web and Multimedia Design student co-op placement, Ailís Ní Chofaigh. Ailís has given the website a completely new design complimenting the branding and logo work from Elaine Hennessy at littlebluestudio. The great new branding will also feature throughout our social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We are very excited about the new brand and look and hope you will be too! The website will launch within the next week so be sure to keep an eye on our social media pages for news of the launch!

Re-Branding Your Co-Op Over the last number of months we've been working very hard on bringing a new look to the limerick community grocery store. We truly appreciate your patience as the shop itself has undergone major renovations -  the new floors are in & we're back indoors! We are also very excited to be unveiling our new branding very shortly, with thanks to Elaine Hennessy of littlebluestudio. More information on this will feature in next week's newsletter, so stay tuned - you're in for a visual treat!

Have Your Say Ahead of New Website Launch! Since the beginning of June, Ailís Ní Chofaigh has been on placement with us as our web and multimedia designer. She has redesigned our website inline with the re-branding of Limerick Community Grocery. Ailís has also worked to improve the usability of the site and made it fully responsive to adapt to mobile, tablet, laptop and desktop viewing! The new website will be officially launched soon. To ensure that it best reflects our members' needs we encourage you to check out the draft version here and fill in our online survey.

Bill and Kevin paid a flying visit to Moyhill Community Garden (Lahinch, County Clare) last Sunday afternoon. Fergal and Sally showed them around the sites and in particular the sunken (pit) glasshouse which we think would be a welcome addition to our community garden (being developed over the summer months).  We are planning a group visit to Moyhill in a few weeks’ time and we'll give you plenty notice of same. Very impressive place!
