The Mercado Orgánico
y Natural Pochote-Xochimilco holds a grand opening Friday, August
7 in the atrium of Iglesia
Xochimilco. The market is the newest venture in Mexico's
expanding network of natural food markets.
Several members who left the orginal Pochote
Market years ago are returning in what promises to be a
reunion of old friends. It's unclear if the logo of the monkey
losing its fur will continue to be used in branding.
BACKGROUND
The original Pochote Market closed its doors at the Arquitos
on August 1, three months short of its seventh anniversary.
Earlier in the year the announcement was made that Francisco
Toledo was withdrawing the use of the Pochote Cultural Center.
What's next? Some of the members are heading off on their own,
others to the atrium of Iglesia
Xochimilco (photos)
and others to heading to Rayon #411 and Xicoténcatl (photos).
