Hello!

Looks like it is going to be another beautiful day! I love summertime! Everything is green. Flowers are blooming. Birds are singing. And I am not freezing. plus I tend to eat better. My body just craves more fruit and veggie and less carb when it is warm and I am outside more.

Which brings to mind this week's produce basket. We are featuring pears, apples, blueberries. mammoth sweet potatoes, and some beautiful cauliflower and local asparagus (i eat it raw). To get in on this bonanza, simply call or email before 6pm today and we will have your basket ready to pick up by Thursday morning!

Carpe Diem!

Good Morning!

How was your weekend? Mine was fabulous!! Went down to Rochester Friday for a Wookiefoot concert at the historic Chateau theater. Cool venue. And as always, a top notch show! Came back and worked half a day Saturday and then my cousin came up from Missouri. Had breakfast with her and her brother Sunday morning and then got the rest of my plants in the ground!

And throughout it all I managed to come up with an idea for a produce basket and get the order in. This week we have no theme, just good food- apples, pears, blueberries, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and some local asparagus! Had some for dinner last night. It is fantastic! Let us know before 6pm Tuesday and we will have your basket ready Thursday morning!

Happy Monday!

Good Morning!

It's finally here! Not summer (well, actually that too!) I am talking about local asparagus. Grown on Sweet Acre (formerly Melon Vine) Farm. We have had a lot of inquiries as to when it would be in, so I just wanted to let you all know it is here. And it looks amazing. Haven't tried it yet, but I plan to remedy that situation tonight!

And on the subject of fresh produce, if anyone has suggestions for the produce basket, please share. We are open to suggestions! My problem is that I tend to lean heavily into salads and fruit, especially in the summer. What are your go-to veggies for summertime?

Stay cool and have a spectacular Thursday!

Happy Tuesday!

That feels like a Monday. But then, unless I have special plans, all my days feel pretty much the same. Not complaining though. I am pretty happy with the way my life is going.

Finally got the produce baskets figured out for this week. We have stone fruit in the form of peaches, nectarines, and plums, accompanied by broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, and red pepper. $25 for a small basket, and just $45 for a large. Due to the short week, we have extended the order deadline to 12 noon on Wednesday.

Welcome to Summer!!

Good Morning Everyone!

Just a reminder that we are open until 1pm in North Branch, and 2pm in Pine City.

And a request-During all the activities you have planned for the extra day of weekend, please take at least one small moment to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for you to have the freedom to do your chosen activities.

And a small heads up- not sure what all will be in this week's basket yet, but we are bringing back stone fruits with nectarines and plums! And probably some California blend veggies!

Happy Memorial day!

Happy Friday!!

Can't believe it is already Memorial Day weekend! Weather is not spectacular for the first "official weekend of Summer". But Sunday and Monday look phenomenal! So, if you have camping plans for the long weekend, don't lose heart. If you are not packing up and heading out for the weekend, come see us! We will be open regular hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday we will be open a half day.

And if you are free this afternoon around 2pm, come visit us in North Branch. We are having a pop up event run by our resident herbal consultant ThatbrainyB - Brittan! She will be helping walk us through herbal steaming. This is an open house style event, so come when you can, and stay as long as you like! No purchase necessary!

Have a great weekend - and remember the real reason for your extra long weekend!

Good Morning!

We definitely needed the moisture we have been blessed with in the last few days. And I love sleeping during a good thunderstorm. However, I like them even more when they are followed by a nice sunny 70 degree day, instead of overcast and 50! But it is supposed to get steadily warmer for the rest of the week. So, hopefully it will be nice for the first 'big' camping weekend of the season. Or at least for grilling.

Which makes this week's produce basket a perfect fit! Hobo dinners and melon! Fingerling potatoes, baby carrots, onion, pepper, and celery. Wrap it up in foil with some meat and a little oil and throw it on the grill! And how can you go wrong with watermelon, cantaloupe, and super sweet snow leopard melon for dessert? And all for just $25 for a small basket or $45 for a large! Call or email by 6pm today, and we will have a basket ready for you in time for the weekend!

Have a great Tuesday!

Hello!

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty good. Got rid of a bunch of unnecessary items in my house and got to help out the Burnett shelter at the same time! Plus I have more stuff to donate to Passionate Pines. And on Sunday, despite a few hiccups, I had a nice lunch with my brother. And, thanks to someone with waaay more energy than me, there are now 38 more trees/shrubs planted on my property. 25 of those will help feed both people and wildlife. The rest will help provide shelter and a good wind break. And beauty. Which is also important!

And, since spring finally seems to be taking root (pun intended) that means camping season is also here. And with the first big camping weekend just around the bend, we wanted to celebrate by bringing back the hobo dinner basket! Fingerling potatoes, baby carrots, onion, celery, and carrots. With a trio of melons, including snow leopard, for dessert! Call or email by 6pm Tuesday and we will have your large ($45), or small ($25) basket ready to pick up Thursday morning!

Happy Monday!

Happy Friday!

So, my technological ineptitude is rearing it's ugly head once again. There is a post I would live to share, to the More Than Sprouts and Sprouted Branch pages, but not sure how to make that happen. So, I will just have to plug it in my post! Check out That BrainyB LLC! Brittan - our amazing Monday-Tuesday girl in Branch now has her consulting office up and running in the back room of Sprouted Branch! Of course, while she is working the store, you are welcome to ask a question or two and she will be more than happy to help you. But if you would like a more personalized, in-depth consultation, I would definitely recommend scheduling a consultation appointment with her through her page!

Have a great weekend!

Good Morning!

Still no email list. Still no idea how to fix it! Might have found a temporary work around that still preserves everyone's privacy - I hope. I am re-sending an old email but replacing the body of the email with today's post.🤞

This week's basket is what makes the world go round - which, in my case, is obviously NOT tech! It is blueberries, grapefruit, oranges, radishes, brussels, beets, and peas! Let us know by 6pm tonight if you would like a basket this week, and we will have it ready for you Thursday Morning!

Have a great Tuesday!
