My regular sprout guy Sam has really stepped up his game with more sprouts, coconut chips (amazing snack) and soon, tree pollen. This is pine country and so the amount of pine pollen that can be gathered is tremendous; Sam tells me he bags the branches and shakes away….Pine pollen powder is the most concentrated whole food source of testosterone.. Maybe he’ll soon bring other pine products too.

The opportunity for constant expansion of creative seasonality among local entrepreneurs is one of the reasons farmers markets remain crucial to local food systems. Go tell it on the mountain folks.
