Co-op members and email recipients received advance view of the survey over the weekend.
The public is invited to take the survey by following the link on the LCCC's Web site at www.lakeco-op.org .
Additionally, LCCC member volunteers will be out in communities around the lake during the month of February taking random surveys.
Those without Internet access may call the Co-op at 707-993-4270 for more information and assistance.
The CCCD received grant funding that included a feasibility study for the LCCC in their 2009-10 funding cycle.
The feasibility study will determine whether a storefront for the co-op is feasible in Lake County, and if so, what specific locations in Lake County would most likely be successful.
The co-op currently operates a buying club with emphasis on purchasing locally grown organic produce for their members on a weekly basis.
Members also can participate in monthly online ordering of bulk natural foods through www.azurestandard.com .
For more information, go to www.lakeco-op.org or call 707-993-4270.
