Preliminary Order for July 1st, 2014

Enjoy the local treats that are in season.  Our avocados are just getting into full swing.  Mangoes will be available in plentiful supply, but for a short time.  Stock up and freeze for future smoothies.  Here's another idea: we love avocado and mango together in a salad with romaine lettuce and a bit of red onion.  A friend of mine shared her family's favorite salad dressing which goes so nicely with this combination: equal parts of lime juice, plain yogurt and honey.  Happy grilling as you celebrate the Forth of July!  Don't miss the invitation below for a Dinner's Done Freezer Meal Workshop.  RSVP needed by Wednesday.

Our local egg supply has been growing.
Special thanks to Dave and Isabel Schieferly for inviting our community to their farm to see how they are building an organic sustainable farm from the ground up!  We love your eggs!  Dave and Isabel are supplying us in Redlands and Homestead with pastured eggs.  Their chickens are fed all non-GMO, soy free, organic feed in addition to munchies growing on the farm!  These eggs are $6.50 dozen.  Limited supply.
Our standard option for $5.10 dozen is either local pastured conventional eggs or organic free roaming. 

Organic Coconut Flour: 
Our family eats Gluten Free so I am always looking for good wholesome foods to supplement.  Tropical Traditions has a ton of recipes online using this healthy, high protein flour.  $10 per bag, 2.2 lb each.  7 bags available.
