Hello Wheatsville!

Now is the time for eating fresh produce and in particular summer fruit!

In produce, We've got:

Organic Strawberries
Organic Black, Green, and Red grapes for $2.99 lb
Our Organic Peaches and White Peaches and white and regular nectarines
have been very delicious this year!
We also have organic plums in the black and red varieties!

Remember, our stone fruit is not refrigerated like the other grocers, so it gets fully ripe and delicious in ways that will really pay off your taste buds, but they are delicate, so buy what you can eat within a day or two!

We are pleased to offer Organic Texas watermelon, too!

Don't miss out on the summer fruit! It tastes great and is refreshing to boot!

Cheese


I was pleased to learn that the local farm, Full Quiver Farms, produce their own cheese on the farm! This kind of product is called Farmstead and is a great thing to look for when trying to find the freshest most special products out there that support small farm economies. Full Quiver has the following products available at Wheatsville: fresh mozzarella and wide variety of spreads including spinach feta spread, strawberry cheese spread, jalapeno spread, garlic-basil and chive cheese spreads. If you like the cheese, give these a try!

New in cheese! Spanish Ibores Raw Goat Milk Cheese, this is a brand new "washed rind" cheese for us made with raw milk from the friendly cheese makers of Spain.

Meat

Look for our (relatively new) Applegate Farms organic sausage in two flavors, a fire roasted red pepper and a spinach and feta.
The Bandera Summer Sausage is also really well liked, so try it if you haven't yet!

Deli

Our Salsa of the Month is Cucumber Lime salsa

I think our salads are also a nice refreshing lunch or dinner. We have three kinds of large salads, Grilled Buddy's natural Chicken Breast, Baked Tofu, or Fresh Mozzarella over mixed greens. These salads are fresh, fast and filling! Plus tasty! With our homemade Wheatsville dressings like Tamari Garlic, Cilantro LIme, or Tomato Basil!

I also want to put in a good word about our muffins! Mariah, our main baker, has been doing a good job getting some regular offerings in the wonderful world of muffins. The Blueberry is awesome and the Chocolate Chip is killer! Look for these for Breakfast or as a dessert or a substantial snack!

Third Thursday is Back with awesome music!!!

Third Thursday is right around the corner and I am excited about the musical guests that we have lined up! Our very own Jefe and Joe's band will be playing for us all night from 7-10 next Thursday August 17th!
The band is called Brigante and they are an acoustic trio (guitar, accordion, and fiddle/banjo) that plays gypsy swing music, European folk music (mostly Italian), and Rebetica, which has been called the Greek blues.

I think that they will be great and I hope that you will join us in the parking lot between InStep and Wheatsville to celebrate Third Thursday with us! We'll also have delicious samples and some arts and crafts vendors!

Hope to see you in the store soon!
