May 8th - Harvest of the Month - Mixed Greens
We are starting to have some more greens available, although supply isn't yet as consistent as it will be in the summer months. Hopefully we will see warmer day and night temperatures and the in-field greens will get growing!

SUMMER 2.5oz BAGEL AVAILABILITY
Due to decreased demand the 2.5 oz bagels from Elm City will NOT be available during the summer. If you would like to have some for the summer months, you may want to start stocking up now and freeze them!

ea Shoots are low in fat and with just 9 calories per 50g bag and 14 calories per 80g vegetable portion (equivalent to a cereal bowlful), they are a delicious addition to any diet. Quick to prepare they provide a tasty and convenient way to help people achieve their ‘5 a day’ – especially as they are ideal partners for other vegetables whether served hot or as part of a mixed salad. Daily salad eaters have also been found to have better intakes and blood levels of vitamin C, folic acid and carotenoids such as beta-carotene (which the body can convert to vitamin A)
