Stone FruitExceptionally early!
But stone fruit is here, and what we’re tasting is pretty darn sensational.
We’ve got luscious, sweet yellow and white nectarines, peaches, apricots.
Oh, hello. We’ve got cherries, too!
Gather your stone fruits for a picnic this weekend.
A nectarine childhood memory: As long as we had napkins and plenty of nectarines on our road trips, my mother felt we were a-ok.
Certified organic NopalesThe tangy bites of nopales herald warmer weather.
Nopales are vegetables from the prickly pear plant. In the store, the spines have been removed.
They’re generally sold fresh from Mexico to the Southwest U.S.
And in San Francisco!
We like to use these to prepare nopalitos: surprisingly delicious strips of tangy, slightly moist bites that pair well with goat cheese and beans.

Wild Mountain Raw Pocket Snacks: Lavender Moon / Moon BeetDelightful treats.
Chewy & full of flavor!
The Lavender Moon and Moon Beet snacks are excellent for the tricycle crowd.
Also try Wild Mountain’s tasty raw crackers: Sea Biscuit (with spirulina) and Dandelion Detox.
Look for these on our Raw Foods shelves, facing the tomatoes in Produce.
Certified Organic RhubarbWe’re talking of almost nothing else but this: Rhubarb.
(Okay, we admit it – we have stone fruit, too, which is pretty darn delicious…)
But we’re head over heels with this rhubarb…
It says: We’ve reached the end of spring! Summer is nearly upon us! Pair me with strawberries!
And wouldn’t you know, we have a fairly easy Rhubarb Strawberry Puddin’ Cake recipe for you!
Join us & others at Union Square, where we will march to Justin Herman Plaza.

By supporting your local cooperatives, you are supporting democratically-owned and operated businesses who act, in the words of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, as “a reminder to the international community that it is possible to pursue both economic viability and social responsibility. “
