From bright yellow turmeric to the dark earthy purple of beets, food is full of color. Full, bright vibrant color.  That’s what food should be.

Sulfites in Wine: What You Need to Know

Welcome back to Kim's corner!  This month I want to talk about Sulfites in wine. Many people believe that they can’t enjoy wine for fear of headaches caused by wine. Sulfites are misunderstood. Let’s talk about why!

Do all wines contain sulfites? 

Yes, because grapes naturally have sulfites within their skins (as do other plants like onions and garlic) and because sulfites are a natural by-product of fermentation. 

Some wines may contain more sulfites than others due to added sulfites for preservation.

Don's Happy Apple Snacks

We are proud to carry these delicious, local snacks. Here's how Don's Happy Apple Snacks came to be!

In 2012, Don Schmedeke had just retired, and found gardening a little too part-time. He began exploring a new hobby with a dehydrator and few Fuji apples.

By the next year, Don’s dried apple chips, were a local hit in the Ozarks. With guidance from MaMa Jean’s, Don refined his process to include organic apples. This made his formula complete: no added sugar or fats, and only clean ingredients.
