Just for YOU!

Hello, once again, Garden Folks!

 

This weekend, as I assume you are aware, is the Richmond Days Celebration held tomorrow through Saturday.  There's a lot going on around town, and a lot of it right around our store!  I was told, by the police, that the street will be closed from our ice machine south, so that we will have plenty of space in front of the store for you, our customers, to park and turn around!  We weren't open last year at this time, so I have no idea what to expect, but we are gearing up for a great weekend!  We will stay open later each night as it demands. 

 

Speaking of being open later, I have posted new hours operation on the doors.  We are now open 6am to 7pm SUNDAY TO TUESDAY and 6am to 8pm WEDNESDAY THRU SATURDAY.  When we get our beer and wine license the hours will most likely change again. 

 

New, this week...is...I have submitted and paid for our beer and wine license!  (Yeahhhhh!)  We should have it in three to four weeks!   AND, new today, we have some fantastic european foods including; Rissotto mixes and Cous Cous, from Italy, USDA Certified Organic Olive Oil from Spain, Goumet Taffy (an interesting package and great flavors!), 34 Degree Rosemary and Sesame Flat Crackers (all natural from Colorado), Fentimen's (from the UK) Botanical Brews (here we call them sodas) and Fizzy Lizzy ( a fruit and fizzy water "soda" that is most natural than any other soda we have. Tomorrow, The Garden of Eatin chips should be in!   We will be getting a variety of pastas from Italy as well, in the near future.  These pastas are not your Prince or Barrella varieties,  these are hand "crafted" from small family businesses in Italy and are the real deal!  What a delight!  

 

It was interesting, when I got the marketing sheet on the crackers that it featured the crackers with a hunk of Humbolt Fog Bleu cheese (like what we already carry!).  This all comes from a locally owned  and operated specialty food distributor in Bowodinham!

 

Also, new this week (sort of) is a wider selection of A Wee Bit Farm's all natural, grass fed and nitrate free meats and smoked goods.  I know the price is higher than the other stores for the same cuts, but you get what you pay for, and this meat is superb, grown in Maine, and is the healthier choice!  There are fliers on the wire rack near the meat doors that explain more about their meats. Just for YOU, if you bring in a copy of this email, I will give you 10% off the labeled price so that you can try out this incredible product!  

 

Speaking of superb, as Jen was making a special order vegan brownie platter, she made some to sell at the store.  Wow!  We had samples at the counter, and they are fantastic.  You can rest assurred that what ever your special need is for food, we can make it!

 

Grandpa Paul, from California, brought in a new load of naturally grown peaches, plums and nectarines, yesterday afternoon.  These were picked only five or six days ago and are so much better than the big store "cheap" stone fruits.  They taste like they just came off the tree (and they did!)  They certainly haven't been hanging out in warehouses across the country!  They were picked, packed and shipped to us! They are so tasty! 

 

I almost forgot the OTHER give away!  Our Customer and New Customer appreciation coupons!  Bring this email in with you tomorrow afternoon or anytime and we will give you twenty four coupons for you to put your name on and give away to your friends and neighbors who have not been to The Garden of Eatin! When you run out, just come in to get more! The top three people to bring in the most new customers will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts in October!  And I don't mean just a free pizza or a coupon! 

 

Next week we will be getting organic, Maine made, tofu with soy grown in Skowhegan and more of the Smith Family Farm yogurts in Maple, Vanilla and Lemon Dream. 

 

One last thing to note is that this time of year is when the daylilies are in peak bloom.   We will have a special offering of many varieties of daylilies, starting at $5.00 per pot.  These are great hybrids with lots of great colors and plant habits.  We will have them starting tomorrow!   

 

 

I hope that y'all enjoy the weekend, eat well and most importantly, stop in to The Garden of Eatin!
