Group Buy – VItalChoice Seafood

This weekend we will be having our group bulk order for Sustainably Caught Wild Caught Seafood from Vital Choice. We only do this a few times a year and will not have another seafood group buy again until July/Aug so stock up if you need to.

This order is for:

• Oregon Pink Shrimp (Cooked) (2lb Bag)
• Wild Atlantic Scallops
• Petite Wild Patagonian Scallops (NEW)
• Wild Pacific Calamari
• Wild Salmon Caviar – Ikura
• Canned Portuguese Sardine Fillets
• Organic Salmon Marinade Original Blend – 2 oz
• Organic Salmon Marinade Lemon-Pepper Blend – 3.5 oz

In order for us to get discount pricing we have to reach certain minimums, if we do not reach the minimums on all the items I will let you know and you will have the option to purchase at the non-discounted price and still take advantage of our FREE shipping.

Right now the Wild Atlantic Scallops are currently out of stock but I spoke to a VitalChoice rep and they will be back in stock by the end of this month. They will hold our order and ship scallops out separately.

I expect this order to be available for pick up on 3/14.

Below is the job description and info:

- weighing and measuring ingredients
- mixing ingredients together and preparing them for fermentation
- cleaning work areas, equipment, utensils
- packaging, labeling, boxing the finished product
We are looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, has a means of transportation to and from work space, has the ability to lift and move heavy fermenting stoneware and bulk vegetable cases and is not offended by fermentation smells ;) Also, not a requirement but would be a great plus if that is someone who is interested in and passionate about fermentation and working with organic, health promoting foods!
It would be a part time position with a flexible schedule (has to be coordinated).

Market News

New Items:
Essential Oil – Orange (Sweet) Organic 1 oz. – Warm, fresh citrus scent, radiant, fruity and tangy. This oil smells just like fresh orange peel, but has a much stronger aroma in this form. Provides fresh energy, clearing and inspiring the mind. As with other citrus essential oils just a few drops in water when washing dishes or cleaning will brighten up your work. Blends well with many different oils such as lavender, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood, Frankincense, or Tea Tree.

Soap – Peppermint with Activated Charcoal (Large 5 oz. Bar) A great uplifting soap to get your day started! This soap will wake you up! Wonderful cool feeling with the addition of ground Activated charcoal, which has great exfoliating properties and used to absorb impurities and toxic substances.

Lynda has been trying to get her new label approved by the state of GA for 3 weeks now. They rejected it this time because the picture of GA state line was not quite straight. In order for her to have meat listed this week she asked her meat packer to put their label on her product. This is completely legal since they package the meats for her. She wants to make sure you all know that it is HER meat though not Williamsburg Packing.
