Hello everybody! Did you know that we now have fresh sandwiches, side salads, and entrée’ salads for lunch?  The sandwiches are from Savory Moments and include roast beef, ham, and chicken salad. Among our side salads is a delicious pasta salad. All are reasonably priced between $2 and $6.  Also, we have extended our hours a bit and are now open 12 -6 m-f, and still 10-4 on Saturdays.

Saturday, April 23^rd, will be our second show of the year – Wine For the Heart. On hand will be Pam from Grove Vineyards with a free wine tasting. She will be showcasing some of their heart healthy wines. Also, Dr. Jim Arter, cardiologist at Mid Carolina Cardiology will be available to answer questions and give information and suggestions to live heart-smart.  Liz from Best Acupuncture will also be among the several vendors and local artists. The exact time has not been determined so be sure to check our website for updated information. We look forward to seeing all of you out there.

We’re getting our garden ready for spring by planting several vegetables and herbs. We are looking for volunteers to help out with the garden – if interested, please call the store (704-992-1851), or email us at butterbeanmarket@yahoo.com. We welcome all interested groups, clubs, or individuals for this great community project. Our gardens are raised and we make our own compost.

We just received a shipment of Shadow Springs wine and have replenished Strawberry Shortcake and Dark Shadows, which seem to be the favorites. If you want to purchase several bottles give us a call ahead to make sure it’s available. The Butter Bean offers 5 North Carolina vineyards and is planning to expand to 10 vineyards in 2011.

Thank you all for your continued support as WE SUPPORT LOCAL!

Take Care,

The Bean
