Starting from the top of the lineup, organic asparagus prices, while still high, are getting more competitive!  Did you know that asparafus is a member of the lily family?  How about that for Mother's day, LOL!  It grows from a crown that is planted about a foot deep in sandy soil.  High in Folic Acid (B9), it's one of those foods that women of child-bearing age would want to eat.  Folic Acid, essential for metabolic processes, helps to insure proper brain and spinal cord development.

High in Vit. C with negligible fat, no cholesterol, and low sodium give even more good reasons to indulge!  

Mini mixed peppers will not be available for the next 2-3 weeks, so we'll offer full sized bell peppers in their place.

Another item off the lineup until the end of the month is the kiwi.  They'll only be here as long as supplies last.  We are waiting on the fresh new crop out of New Zealand.   

To help save you some money, we ordered baby spinach and spring mix in bulk this week.  By bagging it oursleves, we can bring the price down to $2.95 for an 8oz bag.  We'll still have the Organic Girl packages available... but save those boxes! They're useful to store these bulk greens and any salads you make ahead, something about them keeps it real fresh. 

We have a trio of sprouts back from the bench... crunchy bean, broccoli, and those delicious nutritious Brussels Sprouts, yum! 

Oh, in case you did not notice, we have new mesh bags to package our potatoes, Roma tomatoes, and such.  They give our little produce pals a chance to breathe and make for better storage life once you bring them home.

We've received good reports about the new crop of watermelons so we have more coming.

For Mom, we brought back the Raw Revolution Chocolate bars.  Since they are unprocessed and raw, they deliver a healthy dose of protein and other nutrients.  Isn't that like "have your cake and eat it, too?"

New to the plate this week at the OPG Farmstand, expect to see "Super" Chocolate Cookies, "Super" Pumpkin Chips, and Garden Herb Sea Crackers.  I don't know about you, but I still like to snack on other things besides produce once in a while, these give us some healthy, organic alternatives.

Please let us know how you like them, we really need your FEEDBACK in order to determine what items will go on the shelves... and which ones to cut! Once again, contact Rhonda for product comments and inquiries.
