We’re about to lose vendors…
Many of our vendors require a minimum amount ordered to be able to justify delivering to our warehouse. Orders have been very low for Cedar Rock Dairy, Mountain Fresh Creamery and Great Harvest. Unfortunately if our orders don’t increase we will lose these wonderful vendors. Please consider showing your support for these vendors by ordering their products. Your ordering decisions do make a difference!
Great Harvest offers freshly baked breads from freshly milled whole grains. They also offer gluten free breads.
Mountain Fresh Creamery produces all natural (no hormones or antibiotics), non-homogenized Milk, Chocolate Milk, Low Fat Milk and Buttermilk.
Cedar Rock Dairy produces Raw Jersey cow milk from A2 cows. Cows roam on certified organic *pastures of a 1200 acre organic farm.
