Pets Join the Whole Food Revolution

Tiki Cat and Tiki Dog natural gourmet whole pet foods are new to Bare Essentials and, so far we like what we see! It is manufactured in a human-grade factory and is truly human-grade quality.

All products are made with whole meat from preferred, premium portions that are left whole and intact verses traditional meatloaf or other “mystery meat” pates. All meat ingredients are listed as in the primary flavor name without mystery or unnamed “ocean fish”, chicken and other inferior filler meat sources.

We are currently offering four flavors for cats and four for dogs in the Pet section here at Bare Essentials Natural Market. We hope you’ll take some home for your furry friends to try!

Here is more information from Tiki:

Our fish is caught from our own fishing vessels in the South Pacific – where mercury levels and pollutants are at their lowest possible levels. Our Tuna is caught with short lines (which catch smaller, younger fish) to eliminate concerns of mercury. We only catch seafood that is recommended for human consumption by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program. Our products are hand cut and filleted, hand packed, and canned fresh at the source. All agricultural ingredients are fresh and locally grown in Thailand. They are grown by natural human food-grade growers and are tested for pesticides, pathogens, heavy metals, antibiotics and other contaminants. None of our food ingredients are outsourced.

We have a “No Compromise Food Philosophy” that addresses

  • Real Whole Food Ingredients
  • Human Consumable Quality
  • Impeccable Food Safety Standards
  • and Environmental Responsibility.

We use only human grade ingredients, we don’t use any fillers, they are all low glycemic index, low magnesium, and low phosphate and have been approved not only for healthy adult maintenance, but also serious wellness diets for animals with CRF, Diabetes, Kidney and Liver Diseases, etc… We haven’t come across one special diet we can’t feed and vets across the country are beginning to get into holistic foods and treatment because of their experience with Tiki.

Proud to Be and Support Local

For almost 24 years Bare Essentials Natural Market has brought you the freshest organic fruits and vegetables we can find. In fact, we were one of the first retail markets in the Boone area to offer organic produce. And for many years we have supported local farmers that grow crops using organic and sustainable methods.  At this writing we are the only grocery store in Boone to do so!

In 2011 we increased our efforts to provide as much locally grown organic goods as we possibly could. In doing so we have been able to continually offer them through these cold winter months and into this new year of 2012. That is, with the help of the farmers at New River Organic Growers (NROG)!

I asked Caleb Crowell, Executive Director of Marketing, to explain what NROG is and how they can grow crops year round.

New River Organic Growers is a nonprofit organization created by our member farms to assist in the marketing and delivery of produce, meats, eggs and cheeses from High Country organic farmers.  Our members make up a diverse group with farms in Ashe, Allegheny, Wilkes, Avery, Yancey and Watauga with farms that range in size from less than 1 acre to 10 acres.

We encourage Organic Farming but also take on member farms that are in the process of transitioning to Organic. We believe that organic produce and all natural meats are the best way for small High Country farmers to make a living and grow and raise the best food you can eat.

Many of our member farms have been working on a consistent production of greens through the winter. We have been able to keep greens in stock here at Bare Essentials so far by growing in High Tunnels. High Tunnels are like greenhouses but you grow in the ground instead of raised beds. High Tunnels can be 40-100+ feet long 10-25 feet tall and are made of bent hoops of metal and supports with a transparent plastic cover.  Even on our coldest days the high tunnels stay balmy. Although the temperature can swing from 20 degrees to 70 degrees in a day the greens do fine in this range.

The best part about winter grown lettuces and greens is that they are never bitter and remain relatively pest free. High tunnels give the farmer year round income and a huge head start for the spring so we hope you enjoy the product that we can now provide every month of the year (hopefully).

So, what local goodies can you currently find here at BE? Go to our Harvest Report to find out!

Along with produce, Bare Essentials Natural Market also offers meats, honey, eggs and cheeses from High Country organic farmers. It’s good to know where our food comes from.

Caleb, please thank the farmers for us and keep up the good work!

More Than Just Juice!

Posted in BE News, Product Reviews by benm

Bare Essentials Natural Market is offering fantastic savings on Champion 2000+ juicers in stock. When it comes to quality and value you can’t beat a Champion.

NOW $199.00….Suggested Retail $320.00

The Champion 2000+ Juicer includes a number of
features that bring the power and durability of commercial juicers directly to
your kitchen countertop.
 

 Easy To Use  

Designed with simplicity in mind, the Champion
2000+ Juicer doesn’t require nuts, bolts, screws or clamps. Assembly can be
completed in seconds. Cleaning is equally quick and painless.
 
 Versatile
 
A large feeding chamber reduces prep time by
eliminating the need to cut vegetables into smaller pieces. In addition to fresh
juices, this unit can also make fruit sauces, baby foods, nut butters, ice
cream, sherbets and everybody’s favorite – fruit smoothies. Exchange a single
part, and your juicer is instantly transformed into a homogenizer. A grain mill
attachment extends your healthier eating choices to include grains and flours.
 
 
Powerful
 
  A heavy-duty motor delivers true, industrial-strength power for an improved masticating process that chews the fibers to break loose high volumes of cells saturated with important healthy values. A floating cutter effectively separates the juice from the pulp in one quiet, continuous – and seemingly effortless – operation. (Bonus: no intermittent cleaning required!)
 
  Durable   

Long-lasting stainless steel construction resists both wear and food odor. A stainless steel shaft is complemented by the tempered stainless steel blades cast directly into the cutter for added strength. This way, the blades will never separate, twist, tarnish or rust. The durability of the Champion 2000+ Juicer is backed by a 5 year limited warranty on all juicing parts and a 3 year warranty on it’ motor.
 
  The Bottom Line?
Champion delivers the goodness!
   

Your Champion 2000+ Juicer is designed to produce the highest possible quality of juices and foods. It’s a difference you can see in the color of the juice: darker, richer colors contain more of the pigments – and nutrients – you desire, while the extracted pulp is pale in color. And rest assured, it’s a difference you can taste. Champion juices will likely be richer, sweeter and more full bodied than any juice you’ve tasted before.

Dear Friends,

At Bare Essentials Natural Market there wasn’t just one single event that made this year special. There were approximately 150,000 of them…the number of visits from you in 2011.

As we head toward our 25th year educating and providing the High Country with natural products, we’re constantly reminded of the blessings we’ve received over the last quarter century. Those blessings are much more than financial. In fact, they’re things that money can’t buy: friendship, loyalty, integrity.

We thank you for bringing those to us. We’ve tried to accept them gratefully and pass them on passionately.

All the best to you and your family,

Mary, Ben, Steve, Angela, Laurie, Erin, Andrea, Stephanie, Susan, Tom, Marlene, Amber, Amy, Kristina and Sara
