Back-to-School Boxes, Labor Day BBQ, and Good Old Bi-Weekly Specials

As August winds to an end, life has changed for many of us! Although the weather still encourages that Cali-Summer lifestyle, our kids are back in school, the fall obligations have begun, and the free time we had for shopping and cooking has dwindled. That’s why we are offering a Back-to-School Special box of family friendly items for quick weekday dinners. We also have some labor day BBQ items on special this week, so that you can send off your summer grilling season in style. Shop before Labor Day, though, because both of our retail locations will be closed Monday so that our employees can spend time with their families. See below for our specials and featured items.

This One is for the Ladies!

Its no secret that meat is delicious and highly satisfying - but did you know that its also incredibly rich in vitamins and minerals, and is the leading food in nutrient density? Studies like this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28718824/ show that people, especially women, are statistically likely to be deficient in essential nutrients due to recent societal movements to limit meat consumption. Do yourself or the ladies in your life a favor and stop by either of our retail locations to check out the delicious, nutritious specials and featured items below.
