Fresh turkey breasts from Pennsylvania
The co-op now carries fresh turkey breasts from Eberly Poultry. This free-range, organic turkey is raised on Amish and Mennonite family farms in Pennsylvania, with no growth stimulants, antibiotics, or animal by-products. Note: Effective Thursday, Nov. 15, these turkey breasts will be frozen for freshness. While supplies last.

Blockade
We now carry Blockade by New Chapter, an herbal virus blocker, just in time for cold and flu season. This blueberry-flavored lozenge tastes great as it keeps viruses at bay, and it keeps them from spreading if you’ve already been exposed. For more information:
