Everything! The beet goes on everything! Did you know that beets are really good for your heart health? They also are excellent at helping detox the liver and kidneys of all the sugary sweets that we naturally consume during the holiday season! Beets are also high in folate (vitamin B9) which helps cells grow and function. Beets may also prevent cancer and even slow the progression of dementia. We have many beets down at Bushes Bunches and would love to help you with ideas on how to cook with them to help you stay healthy this winter!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Oktoberfest ‘22! It was an incredibly successful event where we launched 50+ new products into the store and showcased presenters dedicated to food security and improving food access for Alaskans. However, there were so many people in our tiny store that we decided to do it again but this time at the Palmer Moose Lodge.
Please join us for the Holiday Tasting and Food Security Symposium on December 3rd, 2022, from 6pm to 9pm. This Alaskan Grown dinner will showcase food suppliers and vendors from all over the state. You will also get the benefits of networking with farmers, producers, logistical providers, and other influential individuals in the food production industry.
The main program will be 90 minutes of presentations regarding food security projects, proposed logistical changes, vendor showcases, infrastructure funding strategies and much more! As we run head and heart first into the winter and continue to feed our customers and grow our capacity to feed more of Alaska, we ask that you join us and be a part of the Food Security Symposium!
Sponsorships and vendor booths are still available! This event will be Live broadcasted through our Facebook page and professionally produced! We are committed to this higher calling and if you are too, please join us!
Tickets are $40 and limited to 100 attendees. You can get on the guest list by purchasing tickets at the store or online at the link in the Facebook event on our page. We look forward to moving the discussion forward with you!
