THE MARKET IS OPEN!

Good morning and hello everyone!

Hope you are having a great week so far, I am sure everyone is looking forward to the long weekend… I know I am! A much needed break and extra family time is just what the doctor ordered.

The Market is now OPEN until Monday at noon!! Click here to order now!

This week my nutrition/wellness research focused on grass fed beef Vs "feedlots" beef. Let me just disclose something while I am on this topic, I am a vegetarian and have been for the past 9 years. I am also a nutritionist, graduated with a degree in Nutritional Sciences. As a nutritionist, I do not advocate for any particular diet but I do encourage everyone to get their fruits and vegetables DAILY and at least a total of 7 servings. Although I am not a meat eater, I can get on board with the health benefits of grass fed beef. Beef from grass fed animals has a higher content of Omega-3 fatty acid, lower levels of cholesterol, and high levels of fat soluble vitamins A and E. Not only is the nutritional profile of grass fed beef better when compared to conventional, but the animals are raised in a more humane way that's also better for the environment.

With that said, please head over to the market and show Fred (our "beef guy") some love! I'll make sure to thank him for keeping a steady supply for us, and for doing things the way it should be done.

As always, please check out the great selection The Veggie Patch offers. There's always room for veggies at the table!
