just finished a fresh batch of Paprika! This is a limited edition flavor made from Utah grown red bell peppers that are smoked, dried, and crushed. Those who love it, love it. We use it regularly in place of black pepper. It is not spicy, but it is loaded with taste. We are also really excited about our new ceramic grinder caps. We think you will like them. Hit me up if you want a spice/lettuce/garlic delivery this weekend.

I’m doing Easter bunny lettuce delivery Sunday afternoon. Message me if you want a front porch drop off. Venmo -spices $10 per bag which is enough for at least 2 big salads and will last in your fridge for at least a week. I harvest right before delivery so it is super fresh. I recommend soaking the greens in cold water right away, then drain and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. This is the time of year to load up on greens. Your body is craving it.
