Come try the newest addition to our artisan bread baking program: whole–wheat sourdough! These loaves are baked fresh daily in our bakeries, by the artisan bread bakers who work in our stores. We don’t use any preservatives or shelf stabilizers in our whole–wheat sourdough (or in any of our breads), so you can be sure it’s super–fresh, as well as being healthy, made with great whole grains!
Be on the lookout for local, organically grown spring onions, which crop up in our produce department this time of year. Several local farms will be up to their elbows in them soon: Terra Firma and Full Belly farms are two of our favorite growers of red and white spring onions in Yolo County. Spring onions are essentially immature onions that haven’t fully developed.
Asparagus is the ultimate springtime vegetable. Packed with nutrition, asparagus supplies 66 percent of the daily recommended dose of folic acid in just one cup. But there’s more: Asparagus is also packed with vitamins C, E and A, and vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B6, along with dietary fiber, iron, manganese, copper, and phosphorous.
