04 Jun PRODUCE RECIPE OF THE WEEK: BLUEBERRY HEMP VINAIGRETTE & LOCAL GREENS SALAD

On sale this week (6/3-6/9): Organic Blueberries (pint) $4.99 each!

Happy Hemp History Week! To celebrate #ReturnOfThePlant, we decided to make a light and refreshing blueberry hemp vinaigrette to pair with our local greens salad. This vinaigrette is not only light, sweet, and refreshing, but it pairs perfectly with a veggie or fruit salad. So we thought, why not combine it with the AMAZING spring greens mix from our local Cabbage Throw Farm right here in Hunterdon County!

BONUS SALE– Manitoba Harvest Shelled Hemp Hearts (7oz) bag is on sale this month for $6.29!
