HI FRIENDS! -<x-tad-bigger> (not shouting... just hit CAPS lock by accident!)</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>

It's summertime and the living is H O T!
We'll do our part to try and help you stay cool!

Look for cool and refreshing fruit in our produce department!

Delicious baby seedless organic watermelons are available, so don't miss out! 
Peaches are also a delight right now. We've got Texas Hill country peaches as well as organics from California. 

As we head into Father's Day, I am reminded of one thing I learned from my dad; that summertime is all about eating watermelon and peaches... (cherries, too, to be honest, but we don't have a good supply right now...  soon!)

We do have organic strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, though! Look at your Co-op Advantage flyers for an article called the Beauty of Berries that will give you some ideas on how to use your delicious summer bounty!

The deli is a good place to stay cool! We have excellent iced tea and the black, green, and jasmine are organic! Nile valley hibiscus mint is also a delightful refreshing summer drink!
Smoothies are cooling for breakfast, lunch or even dinner! if you haven't tried the superfruit acai smoothie, you're missing out! we have other delicious flavors, too!

Our salads are also nice foods to help you stay cool. We have 3 types of meal-size salads with salad greens and either baked tofu, fresh mozzarella, or grilled buddy's natural chicken. Look for our small side salads that have sprouts, cherry tomatoes, red onions and carrots. Each salad comes with one of our delicious homemade from scratch dressings; cilantro-lime, tomato basil, or tamari-garlic! These dressings really make our salads something special!

Co-op advantage specials are on as always! Here is just a small selection of the goods on sale this month... (for more click http://www.wheatsville.coop/CAP%20flyers/SW0606%20final.pdf  to download a pdf of the flyer!)
