Winter is moving right along.
  Big pots of spicy legumes stave off damp Winter chills and make wonderful leftover meals, too.  Try out the recipes featured in our Chili Cook-Off.  We'll post the winner online Monday.  Add immune-boosting pungents such as garlic, ginger, and turmeric for health super-power.  Citrus season is in full swing, too- try a new variety or make good use of that citrus juicer in the drawer, all while hoarding your sick days for sunnier days.
Selected books are still 30% off,
plus other January specials and coupon deals.
How is Harvest Market helping you achieve your 
New Year's Resolution?
Let us know at HarvestMarket7417@gmail.com. We will share it on our blog, and you can take home a beautiful wall calendar or date book featuring the words of Pema Chodron or Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, while supplies last.
New Product News..  We are stocked up on specialty chocolates for Valentine's Day.  Some of these are only available for a limited time. Your sweetheart deserves treats made from real ingredients, not industrial additives.  Just because it tastes like chocolate, doesn't mean it is.  Check those labels... and join us Saturday, February 4 from 11am - 2pm for a Theo Chocolate tasting!  
 
Local artisan Fuzzy Venus has whipped up an all-new batch of her popular new lotions, scrubs, and salves.  This line now features truly non-toxic, effective deodorant sticks, and plantain salve, known as a powerful healing balm.  Look for an in-store feature on local beauty products in February.
 
In time for Superbowl Sunday, our freezer welcomes two new snack treats: local, gluten-free Tonya's Soft Pretzels, and our first organic chicken strips from Applegate Farms.  Organic avocados will be $0.99 each and bags of organic baby carrots only $1.69 each through next Saturday for your party platters.  Try dressing up your guacamole with pineapple this year: smash together 4 avocados, 1/2 a pineapple, 1/4 C. cilantro, 1 jalapeno, 1/4 a red onion, and a bit of sea salt.  Our test batch stayed green for hours and hours!
How is your immune system weathering the season?  Food grown the old-fashioned way and a few key supplements can make all the difference.  Discover how to build real immunity and share with us what works for you.  Our on-staff Herbalist/RN Donna Merrill is on hand several hours per week to guide you through the place where naturopathic and allopathic medicine meet.
Food policy matters.  The latest lunacy involves approving crops genetically modified to withstand the herbicide 2, 4-D, an ingredient in Agent Orange.  Take action here.  Some day, "they" may have to hear us.
Harvest Market: A Place to
Transform Our Health 
Harvest Market's own Transform Our Health Series will kick off in February.  This year-long challenge will focus on a different aspect of healthy living each month.  Together we will discuss produce, detoxing, allergies, supplements, fitness, elimination diets including sugar, dairy, and grains, plus superfoods, topical and environmental concerns, and fermented foods.  Our goal is to determine what to eat for our best possible health, one meal at a time, and share resources and experience to make lasting lifestyle changes.  

 

February's topic is FATS.  This crucial nutrient for healthy brain, skin, and heart is grossly misaligned in the public arena.  Even well-intentioned natural foods advocates often misconstrue the role of fat in our diets.  
 

Join us Monday, February 20 from 7-9pm to learn why quality fat is crucial in every diet.  What is quality fat and why has fat been villified?  Bob and Rick will lead an informative discussion about the importance to your brain and body of pasturing animals, the role of this key ingredient in total health, the dangers of processing fats industrially, and how to make the best fats choices for your deep, lasting health.  Free.  Please stop by Customer Service, call (302) 234-6779, or email your name with telephone number to harvestmarket7417@gmail.com to sign up.

 

Here's how you can participate in the series and transform your health, one meal at a time:

 
We'll post on our blog at the beginning of each month about the topic.  You'll find the same information in-store: resources beyond the usual rhetoric, and suggestions for easy changes in our daily food choices to improve nutrition quality and inspire deep, lasting health.  There will be in-store events each month to discuss the topic at hand.  
 
What makes this series unique is that we will all make the changes together.  Staff and customers alike will share weekly feedback with April Lea via email, phone, or in person about our experiences making the changes.  We can swap tips, recipes, or food for thought.  All feedback will be shared on our blog and hopefully, in person.  This way, we can learn from one another how the new ventures play out in daily life- what works, what doesn't, and what to try next.  Along the way we'll get to know each other as community members with a vested interest in the best possible foods for nourishment and sustainability.
 
This program is free and there will be rewards for participating customers along the way.  To sign up, please email harvestmarket7417@gmail.com or call us at (302) 234-6779 to provide your name and email address, re: Transform Our Health Series.  All we ask is that participants attend the monthly event whenever possible, and check in weekly to share our experiences.  Experience is, after all, the best teacher.
 
We look forward to seeing you soon.. have a vibrant week!
