FALL 2008 Expansion With the approach of cooler weather we are looking forward to our 4th Fall and Winter in the "Valley of the Sun". We spent the Summer adding three teams to the Terra Verde Farms family enabling us to cover the weekly farmers markets in the Flagstaff and Prescott areas and multiple events in Arizona., NM, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. This fall we are expanding our presents in the Phoenix Metro area to 9+ weekly farmers markets and a like number held once or twice a month. For the first time there are several markets that will serve our customers in the North Central/Northwest Phoenix (Glendale, Peoria, Sun City and Surprise). In addition we will be doing events in other Arizona cities, California, Nevada, and New Mexico Check the events page for time and dates of all the farmers markets and shows we are participating in, then stop by and say hello to us or get to know the new members of the TVF family. New Look - Website and Label Frequent visitors to our site will note its new look along with our updated label. Among the website changes are: a new product page and reformatted "shopping cart" . We hope you find the changes helpful. We are in process of developing the Nutrition Information for all products. The label is in transition with our new logo; the nutrition information will follow shortly. Product Update A world wide shortage of raspberries has limited their availability and caused a doubling in the cost of the fruit. We had to raise the price of our Raspberry Cocoa Preserves by $1.00 per jar and cannot guarantee its availability for the next 12 months. Our 2008 production of Blood Orange Marmalade is about exhausted. The organic fruit we use for this item is grown for us by Bob McClendon at McClendon Select. The crop becomes available in Mid-February, we purchased all that was available this year (it was a short crop as a result of early 100? temperatures). We doubled our order from Bob for 2009, but product will not be available until later February or early March. Such is the life of true artisan food manufacturers. We have a similar problem with the supply of some of the beans used in our Heirloom Bean Soup and Chile. Our beans are dry land farmed for us in the Four Corners area. Our supplier is out of the Zuni Gold until late Fall. You may notice a slight difference in the beans included in our soups and chilies until November. We renamed our Apricot Preserves to "Apricot Drizzle", the low sugar content of this product keeps it from gelling as firm as we would like...same great taste of fresh ripe apricots, but more of a thick syrup than a preserve. In response to your many requests, we are working on a line of mustards...when they are available we'll note it here. Look for them to be added to the line the first of next year. Thanks for your support. Sandi & Hugh Sabel Terra Verde Farms
