Tasty and Healthy Newsletter


Thanks for visiting us last week, here on the blog, and at our various locations. Did you shop til you dropped last week-end? We hope you enjoyed your celebration. (Do you like the gentle snow-fall on our pages to help bring on the Christmasy feel?) 

I LOVE this photo of Joann. She had just harvested an amazing bunch of Bok Choy. How gorgeous these plants are, and so wonderfully nutritious and versatile!

More recipes for Bok Choy are this coming week. Our "After Thanksgiving" turkey soup was especially delicious after adding chopped Bok Choy! Tomorrow we're making a new recipe for "Bok Choy Soup" (did you try our Collard soup recipe?)

We have some special treats for you this week: an assortment of Pesticide-Free Greens and lots of goodies! Are you a baker? Do you make Sweet Potato Pie? We have the best ever super large sweet potatoes for you! If you haven't made a sweet potato pie before, try this recipe at All Recipes.com. The huge Sweets are $1.25 each.

Please scroll down to see other recipes we've added this week.

This is what we brought home today (YUMMMMMM):




All the special dates for December may be seen on our Calendar (click the tab above).

Saturday - Gran'ma Angie and Nana Phyllis will be at the Produce Barn until 6PM. Fresh Cut Pesticide-free Greens will be eagerly awaiting you in their little wading pool.

  • Turnips with Greens ($2.25)
