Local And Organic Foods
Get healthy with soups and stews. We have a great selection of locally produced grass fed beef. These animals are grazed on grass and supplemented non GMO grain in the winter. The animal on our shelf right now ate mostly grass. That gives our meat a higher GLA content. That is a good fat you won't get unless the animal gets plenty of grass. In January we will have samples of soups made with broth from Polyface beef. Stop in for your sample and some warming conversation.
We have plenty of products for your Paleo diet.
I recommend cooking and stocking up for the winter. Pre-order cases of greens for a discount, and support your local farmer.
Bright Lights Swiss Chard, is beautiful and tasty.
Our local Salad Turnips, and Carrots with a touch of local Ginger are excellent roasted together. There is an abundant supply of Kale, Lacinado or Black as well as a curly
Blue Kale.
We will pick up a fresh Lettuce mix for those who love Salad.
We have a good supply of Sweet Potatoes.
Collards prepared for you are in the freezer section. We have local
Leeks and Garlic while the supply lasts. What ever diet you follow, most include vegetables.
Local vegetables are our specialty.
Come and Buy and Eat, for a healthier happier new year.

 Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal by Joel Saladin.
I just spent some time re-reading this book.
Joel is funny, practical, and educational - not to mention controversial.
This is a personal account of farming, the food industry, and the government.
We need less government and more change.
This book is full of good, out of the box perspectives.
Check it out.
