Rabbit Food

NANO DEMO! Customer Corrine’s daughter, Brenda, is coming to visit,
and she’s wanting, as she puts it, to have a little fun while she’s
here. This coming Friday, in the covered area outside the store,
she’s going to host a demonstration of Nano products. Brenda says
these powdered supplements are vegan, organic, and delicious. The
demonstration will include tasting, special sale pricing, and
complimentary fabric totes with purchases. Hey--if you come to Rabbit
Food without a bag, you’ll be sent back to the Nano lady to get one
=)
Brenda says you can find Nano info at www.biopharmasci.com

CORN.

ORGANIC PRODUCE ORDER FOR FRIDAY: I’m trying to decide what to do
about celery, but I will order avocados, bananas, limes, blueberries,
lettuce, beets, red cabbage, garlic, basil, and tomoatoes. Costa
Rican organic pineapples are priced at $5.31; does anyone want any?

IN THE FRIDGE, as well as the usual Amande and Greek Gods yogurts, I’m
getting some more of the Almond Dream yogurt, original flavor, small
cups. Kenny’s is sending mild cheddar and tomato basil cheddar. There
will be miso this week, and two kinds of Vegenaise.

LOOK IN THE FREEZER for Garden Lites butternut squash souffle,
steamable mixed veges, broccoli florets, and bags of blueberries.

CUSTOMERS FROM WAY BACK will remember the Bakery Lady’s bread. Well,
Marjie is no longer THE Bakery Lady, but Cindy tells me the bakery is
still going strong. If wheat bread works for you, check it out:

LUCKILY FOR US, farmers think ahead. The couple in Greeneville
(really MUST find out the name of the business) who had a greenhouse
over the winter, are now supplying us with fabulous, full-of-goodness,
green kale (Matt will attest to the quantity and quality of juice out
of each bunch). Mary Lou of The Mustard Seed makes it possible by
bringing it to us, and last week, we got to taste a handful of
cucumbers and green beans from the Greeneville gardens. I’m hoping
that this week we’ll see as much as a case of cucumbers and some basil
plants to go along with the kale and beans. It’s not certified
organic, but it’s promised pesticide free. It’s local, and we love
it!

HOW SWEET! More maple syrup is on the way if you missed out on the
last couple of batches. And Tennessee Wren’s local honey is so close
that I’m abuzz with excitement.

ORGANIC PRODUCE THURSDAY: sweet onions, spinach, cameo apples,
strawberries, mangos, oranges, and carrots.

ORGANIC PRODUCE ORDER FOR FRIDAY: bananas, pineapples, avocados,
grapefruit, lemons, limes, beets, broccoli , watercress, lettuce,
celery, sweet potatoes, garlic, ginger, russet potatoes, tomatoes.

DRIED FRUIT ON ORDER THIS WEEK: organic Turkish figs, sweetened dried
cherries, bonner raisins.

BUBBLING OVER! The kim chi John had me order two weeks ago was such a
big hit that it’s on the way again. Although not organic, this
product has a great flavor and must be fermented in the jar because
it’s still bubbling over when you open the lid! Try some.

REMEMBER THE YARD SALE to benefit the Humane Society this weekend at
the Fairgrounds. Rent a booth and sell some of the stuff you’ve been
meaning to get rid of. Or just go and shop! Either way you benefit a
good cause.

MONTHLY GF GET-ACQUAINTED lunch is next Tuesday, May 1, at noon at the
Outback in Sevierville. Enjoy a gluten-free lunch in the company of
people who know what they’re talking about.

All the while, plant seeds and sing songs, and hop by Rabbit Food!

BY NOW YOU’VE NOTICED the new selection of handpainted cards from
artist Bev Jones of Two Coyotes Studio. And you’ve probably tried the
granola, bars, popcorn, or peanutty nuggets from Mary Vultaggio of
Granola Naturals. Ain’t our local talent grand (and delicious)?

THE HONEY FLOW is beginning in Sevier County and surrounds. Hopefully,
the new crop will begin showing up in a month or so. I’m negotiating
with Tennessee Wren’s apiary on Little Valley. Watch for it. And on
the subject of sweet, another order of organic grade B maples syrup is
on its way from NOW Foods.

ORGANIC PRODUCE THURSDAY: sweet onions, spinach, cameo apples,
avocados, strawberries, mangos, pineapples, and carrots.

ORGANIC PRODUCE ORDER FOR FRIDAY: bananas, grapefruit, lemons,
oranges, beets, broccoli (?), green and red cabbage, cilantro (or
watercress), lettuce, kale, celery, sweet potatoes, garlic, ginger,
sweet potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes.

ORGANIC PRODUCE STILL IN STOCK: English peas (easy and fun to shell),
red onions, yellow onions, limes.

WORTH NOTING on this week’s order: A good price on organic dried
apricots, veggie chips, a new brand of non-dairy yogurt (Almond
Dream), Better than Bouillon chicken stock, no-sugar fruit spreads,

apples, avocados, and mangos.

ORGANIC PRODUCE FRIDAY: From Destiny-- bananas, pineapples,
grapefruit, lemons, limes, lettuce, kale, cilantro, cabbage, garlic,
beets, red potatoes, and Florida-grown romas.

ON THE TREATSY SIDE. . .Donna reminded me that we hadn’t had
Immaculate scones in a while, so you’ll find the cranberry orange
variety this week.

BULK FRUIT, NUTS on order this week include dates, raisins, and raw
cashews (all organic). We’ve plenty of pistachios, almonds, Brazils,
filberts, peanuts, prunes, coconut (also all organic), and all sorts
of organic seeds to boot.

KENNY’S FARMHOUSE CHEESE, including Kentucky rose and tomato-basil
cheddar, should arrive Thursday.

HILARY’S ADZUKI BEAN BURGERS ARE GOOD. The ingredients: millet,
quinoa, adzuki beans, coconut oil, sweet potato, onion, green chiles,
Real Salt, acv, garlic, cumin, chili and chipotle powder, lime juice,
psyllium seed husk powder, arrowroot. Worth a try.

OR MAKE YOUR OWN BEAN burgers with a variety of organic dried beans
and lentils available at Rabbit Food. Enjoy with spicy kimchi,
ordered at John’s request.

You asked for it, you got it, at Rabbit Food!

ORGANIC PRODUCE THURSDAY. . . .From Albert's this week: carrots,
ginger, spinach, yams, cameo apples, avocados, CA navels.

ORGANIC PRODUCE FRIDAY. . .We asked Destiny to bring us fujis,
bananas, grapefruit, lemons, green cabbage, red cabbage, greenleaf and
romaine, lacinato kale, sugar snap peas, red onions, cherry tomatoes,
roma tomatoes. celery, and cilantro. We're skipping the broccoli this
week--it's really very expensive--and there are no bunched beets. It
must mean we're transitioning to a new season of organic produce. I'm
looking forward to berries by the bushel soon!

GLUTEN-FREE NEWS: Did you make it to the GF Get Acquainted lunch at
Outback today? Apparently that has now become a monthly

WHAT'S IN STOCK, and what's coming: As usual, you can find our Rabbit
Food staples--a great selection of mostly organic dried fruit, nuts,
and seeds; non-dairy milks include rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk,
hazelnut milk, and coconut milk; a variety of organic dried beans;
several different nut butters; extra virgin olive and coconut oils,
and safflower, grapeseed, and avocado oils; organic teas, coffees;
bulk bagged organic grains, meals, and flours. Also this week I'm
getting two types of Sambazon drinks. Della says I've had them
before, but I don't remember! She assures me they're good, they are
organic, and they're in the Earth Day celebration list of discounted
items.

BULK BUY SAVINGS IN APRIL: Follow Your Heart vegan cheeses, 50lb
organic rolled oats, 25lb organic golden flax seed, some large boxes
of Nature's Path cereals, and more. Ask if you want more information.

HAPPY EASTER ALL! Rabbit Food will be open regular hours (regular for
Rabbit Food, that is!)

ORGANIC PRODUCE THURSDAY: From Albert’s--hummus (ooh, a treat!),
carrots, spinach, avocados (bigger and more this time), oranges, and
pears. From Brewer’s--Last week we got lion’s mane and shiitake. I
can’t wait to find out what’s this week’s selection.

ORGANIC PRODUCE FRIDAY: From Destiny-- apples, bananas, pineapples,
grapefruit, lemons, limes, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, kale,
watercress, cabbage, garlic, red and yellow onions, Yukons, and
tomatoes. It’s hard to guarantee what will be on the Destiny truck;
sometimes produce runs out mid-week or doesn’t make it to the
warehouse in time to load. But one thing that can be guaranteed is
that it will be fresh and high quality.

BULK FRUIT, NUTS on order this week include organic roasted unsalted
pistachios, organic raw walnuts, organic black mission figs.

NEW ITEM IN FREEZER: Ads usually don’t make much of an impression on
me, but the one for Hilary’s adzuki bean burgers did. The ingredients
just sounded like something that would be healthy and delicious:
millet, quinoa, adzuki beans, coconut oil, sweet potato, onion, green
chiles, Real Salt, acv, garlic, cumin, chili and chipotle powder, lime
juice, psyllium seed husk powder, arrowroot. Worth a try.

ON THE BIG TRUCK. . .some more falafel chips (to go with the hummus),
Primal teriyaki strips, Theo dark chocolate, Black bean pasta,
Lundberg rice chips, and all the usual goodies.

MAPLE SYRUP IS REALLY HERE. . .at last. It arrived Monday and will be
priced and on the shelf Thursday!

VEGETABLE RENNET for the cheesemakers--I’ve tried to order this before
and been told it’s not available. Then, whammo, it showed up on an
obscure list of specials. It’s on top of the spice shelf. Get it
while the gettin’s good!

TWO THINGS OF NOTE THIS WEEKEND--
1. Gluten-free festival at the Jacob's Building in Knoxville,
Saturday, March 31.
2. Household hazardous waste collection at the Sevierville Municipal
Complex on Saturday, March 31, 8:00AM to 1:00PM

MAKE THAT THREE THINGS--
3. Drop by Rabbit Food!

ORGANIC PRODUCE THURSDAY: Albert’s Organics is sending us beets,
carrots, russet potatoes, (we still have red and Yukon), baby spinach,
California avocados, Florida strawberries, D’Anjou pears, navels, and
pink grapefruit. Yes, it’s worth a look in on Thursday afternoon.
Brewer’s mushrooms are usually at the store by then too. If you want
to grow your own, let me know; the Brewer’s have everything you need
to do that.

ORGANIC PRODUCE FRIDAY: We probably have enough lemons and limes to
get by on. And the onions, ginger, garlic, and parsnips should see us
through this weekend. So I suppose it will mainly be kale, lettuce,
red cabbage, chard again if it’s fresh, bananas, broccoli, and celery.
What’s your thought on apples? The sweeter varieties are pretty
pricey, and there are no great bargains. Is it time to take a
seasonal hiatus and live on what we’ve canned for a while?

BULK FRUIT, NUTS, and seeds are always a Rabbit Food priority.
Organic is preferred, but please read the label to be sure. This
week’s restocks are prunes, dates, almonds, and mangos. The price of
nuts is going nuts; we’ll do the best we can to get affordable,
quality product.

VEGANS HAVE SEVERAL options at Rabbit Food. Vegenaise, both soy-free
and grapeseed, should be in the fridge this week. Parma seasoning is
now back on the shelf. Amande yogurt must be going out of style,
judging by the demand. Even vegan carob chips (what’s not vegan about
carob?) will be back in.

SAFFLOWER OIL and maple syrup are two items that have been eluding us.
However, this week should fix that. After several tries, my sales
rep. found the only kind of safflower oil available at our
warehouse--Spectrum--and it’s scheduled to be on the truck. NOW Foods
got their grade B organic maple syrup back in, and it should be on the
way too.

HAPPY RABBITS (with bags) WELCOME AT RABBIT FOOD!
