Hi friends of Wheatsville!

While we celebrate Earth Day year round at Wheatsville, we do like to acknowledge Earth Day and Earth Week and it's NOW! (Look for a photo spread of all the green features that we're so proud of in the May issue coming soon.)

We are a major sponsor of the Earth Week 
events with our friends at Austin Green Art! Tonight, join us at the Austin Farmer's Market in the Triangle for an Earth Day Festival from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. There will be Green Art, Kids activities, and a showing of an episode of Planet Earth at dusk! http://www.austinearthday.com/festival.html

On an unrelated note, next week we're changing to a new e-mail system. Hopefully, it won't change much on your end, but it may look a little different, so don't be too shocked, ok?

Get pumped up organically!
In honor of Earth Day, we're drawing attention to our FAIR TRADE ORGANIC Coffee drinks! Come in Thursday through Sunday and get a 16oz latte, mocha or cappuccino for the shockingly LOW price of just $1.50!!! Love the responsibly cultivated fruits of the earth and get your buzz on sustainably!

Earth Day in Wine
Celebrate Earth day with Oko Organic Wines regularly $11.99 now only $10.99  from this Thursday till Sunday only! ÖKO is an eco-wine based on the guiding vision to partner with various growers whose vineyards are in harmony with nature and produce a wine of distinction and quality.  To qualify for ÖKO, each property must be certified organic by an internationally accredited organization. Oko Malbec, Pinot Grigio, Nero D’avola, and Cabernen-Merlot are all on sale!

NEW ITEMS IN THE REFRIGERATED DEPARTMENT!
 
We now have ORGANIC White Mountain Yogurt!  This smooth, tart authentic Bulgarian Yogurt is available in Premium (made with whole milk) and Non-Fat varieties for $5.99 for a 32 oz re-usable glass jar.  I really like it mixed with honey and granola-YUM!
 
 
Borden Milk products are another new addition to the Dairy Case.  Borden milk products are certified hormone free and are processed here in Austin.  They are a great value too- $3.99 for a gallon!  We have Whole, Hi-Pro 2% and Lite Line Skim.
Hi-Pro 2% and Lite Line Skim both have dried milk powder added to increase the protein content of these items.
 
In The Grocery Aisle
 
Texas Olive Ranch Meyer Lemon Olive Oil:
 
Texas Olive Ranch has been bringing some impressive flavors to the table lately. The new favorite in my kitchen is the Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. My wife has been using this oil as an ingredient in fish, roasted vegetables and anything else she can. We’ve almost used a whole bottle already, and it’s all been great. You can’t go wrong with cold pressed, extra virgin arbequina olive oil from right here in Texas infused with just the right amount of Meyer Lemon. Try all of Texas Olive Ranch’s infused oils: Mesquite, Basil, Garlic, as well as the Meyer Lemon plus the new Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar!
