Tanka Bars

GLUTEN-FREE * NITRATES-FREE * MSG-FREE * HORMONE-FREE

Made from tart-sweet cranberries and prairie-raised buffalo, the Tanka Bar is a delicious real food bar with a smoky, slightly-sweet flavor.

100% Natural and only 70-calories, Tanka Bars are the perfect food for anyone who's on the go -- outdoor enthusiasts, students, busy moms, athletes, and pow-wow dancers. Gluten-free, hormone-free and low-fat, the Tanka Bars are deliciously perfect for every diet lifestyle.

You can keep it Traditional or spice it up with our new Tanka Bar SPICY PEPPER BLEND, featuring an awesome four-pepper blend with just the right kick from habanero, jalapeno, and red and black pepper!

Also in stock: Tanka Bites & Tanka Wild sticks - both in regular and SPICY!

But they aren't local! You're right. They come from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. They are made from simple, all natural ingredients and support a lifestyle and landscape we strive for. These are fair trade, direct from the source. We also sell locally raised buffalo, elk and beef jerky processed by Crescent Meats - they have different ingredients and pricing - so you make the choice!

* These products brought to you by customer request. Many requests, in fact. In order to keep prices reasonable and product fresh we want to order cases and cases of product at a time, and regularly. Your requests give us the confidence to invest in new products, share them with the community, and support local and regional farmers. This is what cooperation is all about! Thanks!

Deutsch Family Farm pork products now available

The Deutsch Family Farm is located east of Osseo, Wisconsin. Jim and Alison purchased the farm and moved to it in March of 2010. Also along for the journey are their two little kids, Lou and Lily as well as all of their naturally raised hogs. There are 20 sows which have about 250 baby pigs each year. Jim and Alison have been raising hogs outside in deep bedded pens and on pasture since 2006. The farm is 160 acres. About half is certified organic and the other half is in organic transition and will be certified in 2012.

They also raise pasture raised chicken and organic squash. Along with hay, corn and wheat.

Wisconsin Made Salsas, Dips and Marinades!

A customer stopped in the other day and mentioned she had bought some great mushroom

salsa from a Farmers Market in Chicago. She thought it was from Wisconsin. That was enough to get me going...

Fresh to our packaged grocery shelves are a variety of products from River Valley Kitchens in Southern Wisconsin. Their specialty is growing mushrooms, so we'll first suggest the Garlic Pickled Mushrooms, Portabella Salsa, and Portabella Wasabi Steak Sauce. Also from their kitchen we've got the Key Lime Mango Salsa, Roasted Pineapple Salsa, Olive Bruschetta and a great Artichoke Dip.

We'll never stop scouring the state and region looking for unique, quality affordable products for your pantry!

TROPICAL STORM AGATHA and Farmer to Farmer coffee

Zacarias from Just Local Food was just in Guatemala and Honduras this past January, Farmer to Farmer Continues to create a bond between our communities through media, coffee, textiles y mucho mas.  As I'm sure you've heard Central America has been hit by Agatha and Guatemala had a volcanic eruption and earthquake too. Info about these disasters can be found on the Farmer to Farmer website (www.farmertofarmer.org).  Also, here is a video that Alexander, the peacecorp worker we traveled with to Huehuetenango last January, put up on youtube.

This video was filmed a day after TROPICAL STORM AGATHA ravaged the SAN MIGUEL ESCOBAR coffee-growing community located on the base of the "VOLCÁN DE AGUA" (Water Volcano) just outside of ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA. Go to: www.ASGREENASITGETS.org to send DONATIONS. This video was produced, edited, and published by ALEXANDER NIXON, a PEACE CORPS volunteer working with the As Green As it Gets coffee cooperative in this affected community.
