MARCH 2025
Happy almost we’re-so-close-we-can-nearly-see-it spring! Magic is happening underneath the topsoil and soon we’ll see budding blooms all around. Can you tell we’re excited?
March is kind of like the Wednesday of the year. It’s that middleman that gives you a glimpse of what’s to come on the other side of all these low temperatures. While we wait, it’s a great time to come out of your personal cold-weather hibernation. Come into the store and treat yourself to one of our tulip bouquets to brighten your home. Get ready for spring cleaning by grabbing The Neighborgoods sponge cloths or a pack of Skoy’s dishcloths. They’re both a great replacement for single-use paper towels because they can be washed and reused. Usher in the new season with a little sparkle!
We’ll see you in the store!
With gratitude,
Jerry
Spring Into Action
What are you looking forward to most this spring? The warmer weather? Prepping your garden? Doing a spring cleanout? Whatever it is, we’ll be stocking up on your favorite non-toxic cleaning supplies, soil-ready herbs and vegetables, and deli favorites, so you can spend time outside instead of inside your kitchen.
St. Patrick’s Day
We’ll all be “going green,” on Monday, March 17th for St. Patrick’s Day. To get us in the mood for the holiday, we’ll have Provisions’ freshly baked scones and Irish soda bread. Interested in making your own Irish soda bread? We recommend this recipe:
St. Patrick’s Day isn’t the same without corned beef and cabbage. We’re stocked up on Dakota Grass Fed Natural Uncured Corned Beef Brisket because your favorite recipes deserve the best ingredients.
Seasonal Produce
Seasonal Fruits
Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C, the itty-bitty kiwi deserves a moment in the spotlight. Sweet and tangy, this juicy fruit is easy to incorporate into your diet. Slice it up and add it to your morning yogurt, toss it into your salad, or dice it into a tropical salsa.
Seasonal Veggies
Since we’re celebrating St. Patty’s Day this month, highlighting cabbage seems like a no-brainer. This cruciferous vegetable is certainly worthy of your attention. It’s filled with nutrients that help fight inflammation, can help with digestion, and can stimulate your immune system. Beyond corned beef and cabbage, you can cut up thick slices and roast them, sauté slivers with garlic, or chop it up with some lime and cilantro to make a healthy cole slaw.
Wellness Matters
Going Plant-Based
Incorporating plant-based meals into your diet can be great for your health and the planet. If you’re plant-curious, one product RT customers love is MyFOREST Foods’ MyBacon. We know what you’re thinking: fake bacon? Yes! Customers are loving it for its texture and savory flavor. Made from oyster mushroom mycelium grown in a vertical farm, it’s a complete protein and is made without fillers, preservatives, or binders. It’s time to remake your BLT!
Beauty Products Made with Beef Tallow
Beef tallow has many benefits, including when it comes to your skin. It’s rich in lipids and fatty acids and customers seem to love how nourishing it feels. Grass Fed Skin and Vellum Street are two companies that use organic, grass fed tallow in their thoughtfully made beauty products. We’ve got soap bars, body creams, deodorant, and facial moisturizer, so come on in and give them a try.
Steve’s Supplement Suggestion
With the flu, colds, and norovirus running rampant, your immune system might need a little assistance. Immune supplements our customers have been buying on repeat include Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Zinc, Bluebonnet Vitamin D, and Natural Factors Liposomal Vitamin C. Talk about a triple threat!
*Speak with your doctor before adding any supplement into your diet.
Smoothie of the Month: Pot of Gold
Cheers to a bit o’ luck with our Pot of Gold smoothie. A rainbow of healthy ingredients like ginger, pineapple, mango, and orange juice come together to create a flavor you’re sure to treasure!
