Hello Wheatsville friends!

Our next Member Appreciation Day will be Saturday July 21st! (not this Saturday, but the next) Owners get a 10% discount off all purchases all day long! Plus, we'll have some delicious samples from 12-4! This is a good day for those friends of yours that aren't Wheatsville owners to join on up! New owners can save on Saturday, right away!

From the Land of Cheese!
This week I am going to be featuring our Mexican Olive Mix, this is black and green olives, peppers, red bells, baby corn and raw pepper corns in a spicy harissa sauce. 

I will also be featuring our White Stilton with Lemon Zest with a wine pairing suggestion and recipe. This stilton is considered a dessert cheese but when paired with salty or spicy foods, its flavor is changed and it becomes less sweet; it actually goes really well with our new olive mix.

In the deli
Did you know that all of our coffee in the deli is fair trade organic? And that we provide organic milk and half and half, soy creamer, organic sugar, turbinado sugar and agave nectar for our coffee drinks? How many other places in town do that? (I'll give you a hint: I don't know of any.) So, if you want your coffee drinks to match up to qualities of the the rest of your grocery basket, come by and get a cup of coffee at Wheatsville! We also have incredible cold brewed iced coffee and a delicious Thai Iced Coffee, too!

full service case)

Essence of the Mediterranean Spread; a yummy tomato based topping
and a really yummy Fava bean spread. It's like a delicious improvement on hummus!

All of these are found in self serve
