News From Our Growers:
Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): This week we have more of our Herbal Power and Chocolate Herbal Bliss Balls available, and the Rosemary Thyme Hummus, as well. Thanks to all for the input on taste and improving consistency! We also have Sunflower Butter for those craving a healthy peanut butter replacement.
In the herbs department, we are adding a Lymph Assist Tea to our lineup. Those who have or know someone with lymph problems know that traditional doctors are at a loss for treatment options, but red clover often does the trick!
Finally, we are trying out a custom tea/herbal tisane offering. We will list the “regular” health concerns, or you can email/message us and describe your concern. We will then work to help you research and identify the appropriate remedy. Please look at our offerings and give us some feedback!
Mo’ Scrubs by Toya has three gift baskets for Mother’s Day, starting at $45. (located in Gift Baskets and Certificates Catagory) each basket includes goodies from Mo’ Scrubs, and a heartfelt greeting card from Granny’s Conversations LLC, which is a local business that makes greeting cards for the soul.
For the ease of the market, baskets come with pre-selected items from Mo’ Scrubs, but can be changed upon request by sending an email to toya@moscrubsbytoya.com.
