We use Google Groups for our membership discussion mailing list. This is a private discussion forum for Grainery members and is not open to the general public.
You don't need to have a gmail account in order to join the mailing list, but joining with one will give you access to the mailing list archives and some other features. If you're a store member but not on the list, the easiest way to join is by logging in to a Google account and requesting an invite. Google accounts are open and free and allow you to forward email that comes in to that address (like our mailing list messages) to another email address. See The Grainery Listserv - Good Listserv Etiquette in the General Info section for further mailing list instructions.
