HOPE YOU’RE ENJOYING YOUR SUMMER!

We’re are getting into the thick of it now. Hot summer days are amping up our garden so harvesting is underway. This week we harvested lots of berries, cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, poblano peppers, yellow squash and crookneck squash, eggplant, basil, chard and kale, and even a few tomatoes. We have lots of green tomatoes on the vine that most certainly will be ripe next week. Along with corn and zucchini! 

There are several new summer recipes on our blog if you’re interested. A cocktail, a salad or two, a Ledonese rice bowl and a few delicious, easy-to-make salad dressings are coming. your way.

Enjoy the rest of July!  Cheers to summer!

OUR SOUPERS ARE AMAZING!!

Clackamas Service Center has installed new shower buildings. To help them with everything they need to successfully provide this additional service, we purchased gallons and gallons of soaps and shampoos, pumps and dispensing bottles, as well as much needed women’s and men’s underwear and hygiene products. The donations from our customers make it possible for us to help CSC. We are grateful to be able to do this and thank you, once again, for your generosity.

Soups & Entrées

Sipping Broths

Please look for sipping broths in the weeks to come. We should have them featured in a pop-up menu or two. Thank you!

Our broths are simmered for 48-72 hours with organic vegetables and aromatics. Studies show that the benefits of slow cooking bones are extensive and proven to offer a gamut of benefits that contribute to gut repair, boosting immune function, arthritis, osteoporosis, digestion, reducing high cholesterol, eliminating acid reflux, detoxification, reduction of inflammation, strengthening nails and hair, improving skin appearance and so much more. And while most people report a great boost in energy that could easily replace your daily java, additional benefits lie in the glycine extracted. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means the broths can greatly help with relaxation and actually help improve sleep.
