She believes a grocery co-op would be a great addition to our community and would help support local farmers and the local economy. Angel loves the flavor of fresh vegetables, especially tomatoes, and is excited about having fresh produce available year-round at the co-op. Her favorite food memory is picking wild blueberries with her five siblings during visits to their family cabin in Hayward. Delicious!

Candy Murphy - Owner 436
Candy became an owner during the "Spring to 500" drive. She is a lifelong resident of Hudson. Candy and her husband, Mike, are owners of Club 304/Pudge's Saloon and Eatery in downtown Hudson. Their establishment recently underwent a major remodel, preserving much of building's past. Candy sees the beautifully renovated building as a great way to welcome residents and visitors to downtown Hudson. She is passionate about her community.
Candy describes her vision of the Hudson Grocery Co-op as follows - "fresh, friendly, local food, community-oriented; an enjoyable shopping experience".
When asked about her favorite food memory, Candy recalls growing up on a farm on the edge of Hudson. She remembers the joy of "going to town" for a root beer float at the local A&W (which used to be located on the corner of Coulee Road and 11th St. S).
Thank you, Candy, for becoming a Co-op Owner!

Grilled Fruit Kebabs
These fruit kabobs are a delicious complement to jerk-spiced chicken or tofu or as as dessert with a scoop of ice cream.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh ripe peaches and/or plums, pitted and cut into quarters
1 small pineapple (2-3 lbs.), peeled, cored, and cut into 2-inch cubes
1/2 cup ginger ale
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
6 metal or bamboo skewers (soak bamboo skewers in water before using)
Preparation: Prepare and preheat the grill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger ale, honey, orange juice, oil, brown sugar, allspice, thyme leaves, salt and cayenne pepper, if using.
Thread the fruit onto the skewers and place them on a rimmed sheet pan. Brush the fruit with some of the marinade. When the grill is hot, put the skewers on and grill on each side for 3-4 minutes, glazing the fruit with more marinade every couple of minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Grilled fruit is a flavorful accompaniment to jerk-spiced chicken or tofu, or a special summertime dessert, with a scoop of chocolate or vanilla ice cream.
