Local blueberries from Berkey’s Blueberries have been a hit in the department and at the registers. They are firm, sweet and addictive. I may or may not have eaten a couple pints by myself…better than a pint of ice cream though..Right?
Some specialty items to be on the lookout for in the near future are local gooseberries, red and black currants and some yellow and red dragon fruit (not so local, but a rare treat.)
Lots and lots of local items in general here especially with lettuces and other greens..
Im working on a project to find out how many local items we actually carry right now, as its a fair percentage of the department!
We have local kales, chard, Spinach, all lettuces, raspberries, blueberries, beans, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, Fennel and more items on the horizon! What a great way to talk about the amazing community of growers we have in the Willamette Valley.
…and don’t forget the flowers! Our bouquets and plant starts are all grown locally as well.
Thanks for all your support everyone! You help make us great!
Jason
