Glob Natural Botanical Paints

For eggs…but also for children’s wooden toys & dollhouses. A foggy day coming up? Paint that wooden tea set with your little one!

And these dyes are perfect for adding color to homemade playdough. 

Because these are completely botanical paints, there are no harmful effects for infants, toddler, and children.

The beautiful rainbow colors come from beets, carotenoids, anatto seed, chlorophyll, and many other vegetable and fruit sources (like blueberries and sweet potatoes).

OA’s OWN Raw & Vegan Donut Holes, 3/$3.99

Donut Holes, Donut Hooooles! First created about 4 years ago by personal chef and friend Alyssa Cox, the scrumptious Donut Hole treats are still popular, created by the living, breathing, organic entity known as the OA’s OWN Crew.

They’re moist. They come packaged 3-to-a-container. The warm nutmeg & autumnal spices mix perfectly in these gigantic holes.  Sharing these bites becomes extremely difficult.

We’ll meet you at our store, as you savor (& hoard) our Donut Hole bites.

St. Benoît Honey Yogurt 16 oz / Clover Organic Farms Plain Yogurt 16 oz

There is evidence of yogurt dating all the way back to 500 BCE, in the records of ancient Iran and India.  Ancient India called the mixture of milk and honey “food of the gods.” Pliny the Elder wrote about nomadic tribes thickening milk “to a certain acidity.” Nomadic Turks recorded the use of yogurt in their texts.[1][2]

In short, yogurt has been around.

And so now we have a couple of new containers for you! Choose from Jersey Cow milk transformed into luscious honey yogurt (St. Benoit), or organic, plain, lowfat yogurt (Clover Organic Farms) in a large tub.

Fever Tree sodas, Ginger Beer & Bitter Lemon /

Fentimans soda, 6 flavors including new Dandelion & Burdock

Confused? Not the semi-deciduous tree, that grows to about 2o meters tall and has a light, lime-green bark. Not that Fever Tree!

We’re excited about two soft drinks or mixers from Fever Tree. Drink them alone or mix them in cocktails. They’re pure & not overly sweet.

The new Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock, with dandy leaves and burdock root, is a slightly fermented (0.05% alcohol content) drink tasting of a hint of cherry…like a more adult Dr. Pepper…earthy & sweet, at the same time. (Alert: we carry six flavors of Fentimans!)

Don’t wait for that persistent offshore flow to reach us in five months! Try these now, in the shade of a shady day, in the darkness of our rain storms.  They’ll burst through like – cliche!  - sunshine.

Just buy ‘em.

Stirs the Soul raw chocolate bars & covered fruit

What’s another chocolate bar? What’s another bag of fruit-covered chocolate?

Chocolate maker Daren Hayes, a graduate of the Oregon Culinary Institute, stone grinds and slowly tempers the chocolate. The cacao beans themselves – high in magnesium and antioxidants – are from the finest wildcrafted and organic beans – shade-grown with tropical native plants to sustain the ecosystem.

Bananas, Figs & Currants is a recipe of moist, chewy organic fruit dipped in luscious date-sweetened dark raw cacao.

The scrumptious chocolate bars are sweetened with dates or with coconut palm sugar.  Each bar has its specific spice-to-sweet ratio, and own smooth & delicious character.

St. Benoît Whole Jersey Milk, 1 liter, $3.89 + $1.50  bottle deposit

Local, Sonoma County-goodness from sweet whole Jersey cows. Real milk has this sort of buttery color to it. And we have it!

Drink up, everyone.

Misty Creek, Raw Cow Beer Tomme (PA) / Temptin (Germany)

Beer + Cheese, together forever…

Both of these cheeses deliver their own punches. Our cheesemonger sez, “(The raw tomme) can hardly stand up straight!”  Great with hearty sourdough bread.

Avalanche Cheese Company

Avalanche Cheese Company, Lamborn Bloomer

From Colorado, a relatively new cheese! Lamborn Bloomer is soft-ripened over just a month – Robiola-style. Only, this isn’t cow’s milk! It’s a gooey, buttery, dreamy goat milk cheese.

(Please ask us for assistance – we’ll gladly help you locate this delectable cheese.)

Fentimans Old Time Sodas, $2.09 each (choose from 6 flavors)

Stimulating and slightly fermented – with sugar and yeast, there’s less than 0.5% alcohol.  Each brew offers a different and exciting botanical recipe. For example, the delicately invigorating Rose Lemonade has rose extracts from Bulgaria.

Ask us where these sodas live.  We’ll show you, and chat about our favorite flavors. All? It’s hard to decide!
