I am excited to announce that we have met our latest goal of 550! Our "Fishing for 550" campaign was a smaller goal that was established in order to help increase momentum as we continue moving closer to our next big goal. 
 
As a way to meet with our new and existing owners (and celebrate another successful campaign) we will be holding an event at Hop & Barrel (310 2nd Street) on July 26th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Stop by to mingle with the HGC board and hear more about how we are progressing towards our plan to open a grocery co-op in Hudson! 
 
It is also Live Music Night at Hop & Barrel Brewing. The music starts at 7 p.m.

Thank you for your support - and we look forward to seeing you on the 26th!

HGC Board President

Chocolate Strawberry Fool

Recipe from: Co+op, stronger together

This easy and elegant parfait makes any meal or occasion just a little more special.
 
Ingredients
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, divided
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, very cold
 
Preparation
Place 1 cup of strawberries in a small bowl and add the sugar and vanilla extract. Mash the strawberries into small pieces using a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Pour the cold whipping cream into a cold, medium-sized bowl. Using a beater, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Fold the mashed strawberries and 3/4 of the chocolate into the whipped cream.

Using a tablespoon, fill a wide-mouth glass (such as a martini glass or tumbler) 1/3 full with the whipped cream, then top with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with more whipped cream and another layer of strawberries. Top with remaining whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. 

Servings: 4
Serving Suggestion
Accompany this elegant dessert with a plate of delicate shortbread cookies. Blueberries, raspberries, or pitted cherries can be used instead of the strawberries if you prefer.
