Bushels of basil, freshly picked, stand ready for your inspiration every August. From marinara sauces to Caprese salads and pestos, basil is at its best!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we focus on pestos - versatile sauces that are at home in so many late summer dishes. We start with a classic pesto, then mix it up with other pesto variations: Thai pesto, cilantro pesto, and a pistachio-herb pesto. Garlic, an essential component is given its due. Summer has never been more delicious!

We'd like to take this time to THANK YOU for making our Bring a Bag, Feed a Family campaign such a huge success! Since beginning the effort in late 2009, you have helped us raise over $1640 for the Greensboro Urban Ministry's Food Bank!

Every time a customer makes a purchase and brings their own shopping bag, a dime is put in the "Feed a Family" cookie jar. The contents of the jar are then donated to the Greensboro Urban Ministry Food Bank. This allows us to help the environment by using fewer disposable bags, and also help Greensboro's families in need!
