Our next delivery will be Monday, January 28. Orders will be due to the coordinator by Tuesday, January 22 (look for your email with new price list coming during the first week of January.)

Raisins and some organic cheeses (along with lots of other stuff) are on sale in January.

We discovered an addictive granola a few months ago. Golden Temple's Wild Blueberry and Flax granola is amazing. It's a great snack and a fantastic breakfast (we like to add organic raisins and some locally grown apple chunks to ours.) It's on sale at 15% off for a 25# case in January and 20% off in February. Try some. Golden Temple is an independent (not owned by a big food conglomerate) natural food company. The ingredients are organic and Kosher. Really. Try some.

Harold Dale and his wife raise bees in Stoddard and sell honey (Nancy's Honey) in the area. Right now they don't have any honey in stores, but they will sell from their home (bring your own container if you wish). If you're interested in some locally produced honey, contact the coordinator for more info.

Dancing Doe Farms, LLC of Chaseburg still has some nice, fat chickens in the freezer. They would make the perfect home aroma (and several meals from roast to soup) for one of these cold winter weekends. Sizes range from about 5 pounds up to nearly 8 pounds! Contact the coordinator if you're interest.

Do you know of other LOCAL sources for good nutritious food? Please email the coordinator or add a comment with your suggestion.

Last month I got some organic milk (on sale) and it was great. The producer, Farmers' All Natural Creamery is in Iowa and certified in Iowa. Right now, not on sale, it costs a little more than the Horizon Organic products, but with the Cornucopia Institute's one cow rating for Horizon, and a four cow rating for Farmers', I'd still go with the Farmers'.

Anyone want to split a case of 4 gallons of OG fat free (skim) milk?
