Weblog from a few of our Grower’s:
Keep a watch out….Strawberries are starting to make an appearance from several of our Growers, look in Fruits and Fruit Juice Catagory and scroll down to Strawberries. Best taste of Spring and a wonderful start to a whole new growing season.
Bean Man: New this week is our Ready to Mix Cassava Flour Bread – it has a dash of arrowroot along with other fresh ingredients with each package containing 2 packs each providing the dry ingredients to make a 1-1/2+ pound loaf of Gluten Free, Dairy Free bread.
We are sad that Mama D will not be able to attend the market but completely understand how life changes. As you all know by now, we are the Gluten Free folks and in keeping with that, we will try to offer some of our breads to you – all will be gluten free and based on the products we offer. Again, not this weekend but hopefully by next weekend and not necessarily every week. Please email Catherine if you have any questions.
As always we have our Fresh Dry Beans (along with our new Baracho Bean Recipe on our Pinto Bean Packages), Mixes, Scottish Oatmeals, Gluten Free Flours and our Ready to Mix.
Thank you and Happy Easter! from your Bean Man and Bean Lady!
