Vendor of the Day RESCHEDULED
What a crazy couple days we’ve had with winter weather! Thank you all for your support with the pick up day change! Because we changed the day My Daily Bread will be Vendor of the Day this Tuesday.
Mark your calendars! This Tuesday, February 24th My Daily Bread will be Vendor of the Day from 1pm to 3pm.
You’ll get an opportunity to meet Bruce and sample some delicious organic baked goods and other products they offer on the market. It’s always fun to meet who makes your food!
GROUP BUY: Wilderness Family Naturals & Raw Mixed Nuts
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Mixed Nuts -Raw from Nuts.com since WFN is out of bulk soaked & dried mixed nuts.
Case Pricing for Organic Raw Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. This delectable combination of raw organic mixed nuts includes organic cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and filberts that are sure to please.
I recommend soaking as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures to make your own crispy nuts.
All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.
THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it will take at least 2 weeks before you can pick up.
HELP! We need Volunteers!!
