the door, so we’re making new ones every day! Come in and see what we have
today – it could be anything from sweet and creamy Corn Chowder to earthy

bestselling vegan African Peanut! Want more of a meal? Come up to the Deli
Counter and order our famous Frito Pie, a pile of crispy Fritos covered with

and cobblers are now available on the hot bar! Stay tuned for more tasty
sweets, of course including vegan options, to come soon!
The Deli’s Smoothie of the Month is Peanut Butter Banana Dream – just what
Elvis would have ordered if he’d left Graceland once in a while! Two great
tastes that taste great together, bananas and PB are the perfect combo of
salty and sweet – all you need is a straw, so try one today!
Also for October, we have a new Salsa of the Month – Guajillo con Miel! This
salsa blends dried ancho and guajillo chiles with sun-dried tomatoes and
local honey for a smoky-sweet sensation!
The Deli also has some great Owner Specials going on this month! Lattes from
the Espresso Bar are on sale to keep you warm in this cooler weather, as
well as our Deli Counter’s infamous Italian Sandwich piled high with two
kinds of salami, ham and provolone, and our top-selling Asian-inspired pasta
salad, Ginger Tempeh Pasta, available in our self-serve Grab’n’Go case!
Come on in and eat up!
*Bryan, the Butcher*
We have had a lot of interest in our Almond Crusted Trout since we started
to carry it. However, recently folks have been asking for just plain trout.
So guess what? That’s right! We now have amazingly fresh trout sourced by
Rushing Waters in Palmyra Wisconsin. Check this awesome company out at
their website. www.rushingwaters.net . This is a prime example of how fish
farming can be done correctly and with zero environmental impact. Please
explore their website, it’s full of great info. The main thing I’d like to
point out is they harvest to order. That means when Wheatsville places an
order for it’s trout it’s still swimming. Then Rushing Waters ships it to us
via same day delivery. That is fresh, or as Dan says “that’s beyond fresh”.
It really is.
Rainbow trout is extremely versatile fish. It is best prepare simply is a
skillet (I prefer cast iron) seasoned with lemon, thyme, garlic, salt,
pepper, and butter to fry in. This is a tried and true preparation that can
be done in less than 10 minutes of cooking. It’s is literally a “can’t miss
dish” even for those unsure about cooking fish. Trout can also be bake,
poached, or grilled. This amazing product will be hitting the case Thursday
for $18.99 per pound.
In other new product news, have you tried the Niman Ranch pulled pork? Well
I have and so have most of the staff and customers thanks to the great
showing of Niman ranch product at last weekend’s grand reopening party. It’s
fully cooked and easy to prepare for dinner or snack during your favorite
football game this fall. It’s packaged; so you just boil the pouch in water
for 12 minutes or heat it in a skillet. It’s a 1lb package and can feed 3
big eaters or at least that’s my experience. You can pick up Niman Ranch
pulled pork for $8.79 for 16oz. That’s very good compared to buying takeout
BBQ.
Don’t miss the great specials this month!

>From Greg, on Cheese Island

people looking for Galaxy Vegan Parmesan, our distributor has discontinued
carrying this item. I have notified them that our customers are missing it.
Grocery does carry a vegan Parmesan called Rawmesan. It is located near the
pastas.
Also I am ordering another wheel of The Rogue River Bleu. Thank you for all
the interest and I hope you have really enjoyed this wonderful cheese. It
is only around for a short period of time and if you have not tried it
please do yourself a favor and bring a wedge home. And thank you for all the
wonderful compliments on our selection of cheeses. It is a goal of mine to
bring in cheeses that are not readily available for you to enjoy.
*From the King of Beers, $hane!*
We have some great deals in the beer and wine section right now! In the wine
world we have Santa Rita Cabernet Sauvignon at just $5.99 a bottle,
Regularly $10.99 a bottle . Brilliant ruby red color. An intense bouquet
developed through a combination of mature red fruits and plums and vanilla
tones with a fine toast from the barrels. Medium body, a fine structure and
a nice ending characterize this wine. On the beer front Real Ale is on sale!
All flavors, except seasonal, are just $6.99, Regularly $7.49. Located in
the Texas Hill Country , the Real Ale Brewing Company is one of the
state’s best breweries, many would say THE best! A dedicated team of brewers

brewing system, incorporating 100% malted grain, domestic and imported
hops, and crystal clear water into their unique recipes.
*In The Grocery Aisle*
*Pop Chips:*
Somewhere between cheese puffs and potato chips you can find a new kind of
snack. Pop Chips are a different type of potato chip that isn’t baked or
fried. It’s made by applying heat and pressure to potato flour. This process
creates a snack that has about half the fat of regular potato chips, but is
equally satisfying. The taste and texture make it a little too easy to eat
the whole bag, but that’s okay. You’ll find four flavors on sale at
Wheatsville for just $1.69 each. Check ‘em out at
http://www.popchips.comJustin Merrifield, Grocery Buyer.
*Local Turkeys*
We're going to have Organic Prairie certified organic turkeys on an amaziong
deal this year come Thanksgiving time, but we know that some of you might
have interest in a local turkey. If that's the case, then you should get in
touch with the nice folks at Alexander Family Farms, our pink carton egg
guys! They have local turkeys (a few of who visited us for our GRand
re-opening!) Contact information is here
