Tastes of Summer

Personal Pie, Sweet to Eat Bakery and Cake Shop
While pies are typically available year round, there’s nothing like a delicious fruit pie to ring out the end of summer. We’re lusting after the peach raspberry!

Kombucha, Agri-Cultured
Their amazing kombucha is available year round, but warm weather makes the cold drink taste even better! The Iowa Aronia Berry and Grape flavor is particularly tasty.

Watermelon, The Homestead and Jeremiah Conejo Farm
Watermelon season is winding down. Producers have them available in limited quantities.
