We will be open today, the blizzard day, from 2-6 pm. Boy is nice to have a day off! Moving bedroom furniture....cleaning closets.....ah...being a mom.

We failed to write and tell you all the exciting new products we have, as we were busy finishing all the pizzas. (Hard job, but someone needed to do it! ) Will update next week with products.

TUESDAY NIGHT is ASIAN NIGHT! Come cook up a storm with us and Chef Andre' from 6:30 - 8:30 pm! YUM! Love these ethnic classes!

STEER: When we opened Nature's Garden we had great meat from our good ethical farming friend Rudy. He only had a few steer still grazing, as he was not sure with the cost of natural grains rising, if he would continue to raise steer. It was the best meat many of our customers said they ever had. It was great! ( for a dead steer....) Well, he has two steer being processed right now and was wondering if anyone wanted a 1/4 or 1/2 of steer. His cost is 1.90 a pound for hanging weight and the cost of the butcher is around.38 a pound. Rudy takes great pride in the raising of his steer, and never uses any hormones at all, grazes on all pesticide free pastures, feeds them good clean grain (not all organic), and heck, he probably talks and sings to them! (he's just a happy guy!) Please let us know. They will be ready for pick up early this week. (Your savings is great by the way.....)

LOCAL HONEY IS BACK! One of our customers hooked us up with Bernie Bee's and his honey is great! He has a bit in storage as well, so hopefully he will keep us stocked. Enjoy! His bees are only 10 miles away, so this is local!

OUR WHOLE FOODS TRIP was really fun! We went down to Milwaukee to scope the place out looking for certain products only to find....WE HAVE DOZENS of lines they do not carry! We have at least 4 times the amount of raw foods as well! It was great! We did find some neat lines, and bought many samples (some we didn't like at all, others we will be ordering for you.) It was a great visit. We met with some wonderful people, and even spoke with the buying manager to recommend some products for them to carry! Now that was fun. The best part about the trip was realizing that we have all the good organic lines they do, plus many more. They carry many lines that are not organic, well probably more than half their store is not organic. And none of their restaurant is organic, but grabbed some fun ideas. Worth every minute and a real pleasure meeting the managers there. We did offer one of them a job, offered to move his whole family too! I suppose that wasn't the most appropriate thing to do.....but it sure was fun! He was quite the seafood chef! Lucky for us, he liked us too and gave us some hints......

If anyone has a good laptop or computer, our oldest daughter Jenna the photographer, needs one. She is more than happy to pay for it, we were just wondering if there is anything out there that is not being used. The green side of us I must admit. It does need to have a bit of memory and at least 1 GB of RAM and be rather updated, as she plays in Photoshop. If you have something, please let us know and I will direct your email to her.

That's it! Have a great weekend and enjoy GOOD HEALTH! TAKE those probiotics and keep that intestinal track clean! ( More than 70% of your immune system lives there....so you want that full of health bacteria!)
