Fresh from the Fields to your Fresh Deals Flyer!
We are celebrating the jump in our Farm Direct purchases as our Spring growing season jumps into high gear! Last week 36% of total produce purchases were direct from Tri-County Farmers! This means that there was no middle person, no distributor, and no person between the hands of our farmer and our produce crew!
Celebrate Farm-Direct with this week's beautiful locally grown Purple Green Onions from our friends at Harvest Moon Farm in Carpinteria! Use just like green onions, only $1.69 per bunch! Stir Fry with beautiful Rainbow Chard from Miguel and Lorena at Ebby's Organic Farm in Goleta, only $1.49 a bunch!
We're also so excited for a quick supply of FIRST SEASON Brooks Cherries! Coming from Burkdoll Farm via Harvest Santa Barbara, an early-season intro price of $7.39/lb. Cherries are hard to grow and hard to pick, and we are sure grateful to the hands that patiently pick little cherry after cherry to make a whole pound!
And BLUEBERRIES only $3.99 for a pint grown with organic practices. This means a healthier blueberry for you, our earth, and the farmworkers who pick these berries for your belly.
