Hello Everybody! First, a BIG shout out to all of you who came out last Saturday for our Spring Into Health Festival – Thank You all – it was a great success! Also, a big thank you to all our artists, Dr. Jim Arter, Liz, and Pam for paricipating in our event.

In the store this week we have a new shipment of Blowin’ Smoke BBQ Sauce – both traditional and Eastern Carolina sauces. New to the store is Bailey Farms’ Jalapeno Sauce – an all natural gourmet hotsauce. And for those quick dinners on busy nights try Mrs. Millers Homemade Pasta Sauce and Pappardelle’s Pasta in a variey of flavors.

Outside we have fresh herbs in the garden. We also have beautiful hanging flower baskets – come by and check it out.

This Saturday, April 30th, we will have a table set up at Norh Meck HS in the student parking lot (off Hambrigh Rd) from 9am to 12n during North Meck’s Plant Sale. The greenhouse has lots of plants to choose from – garden veggies, berries, flowers, hanging plants and more. Come on out and show your support … hope to see you there.

Remember, when you shop local, you are loving the Earth!

Take Care,

Hello Everybody!

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.  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,
