Green Barn Organics ready to roll…

At Cream of the West we have officially introduced our new line of organic flours and grains. We begin our foray by offering our line to natural foods stores in Montana…so kudos to the Good Earth Market in Billings for being our very first GBO customer!

Mission Statement!

greenBarn organics (GBO) is the brainchild of Richard, Alicia, Steve and I, and we have all worked very hard bringing these “Montana-made”, and to a certain extent “Montana-grown”, flours and grains into your home. Bobby and Stacy, our production crew, have labored tirelessly getting our plant in “organic” order, which involved some remodeling and much re-organizing. And our office manager, Liane, has been chugging away seeing that nutritional labels are being generated, customer sheets are being designed, and our inventory system is up to date. Our certification from Montana’s Department of Agriculture came to us in May, and since then we’ve been narrowing down the product list, setting prices, and finally, FINALLY, we are ready to introduce you to greenBarn organics!

Richard and Alicia made the delivery to Good Earth Market last Thursday, so you should be able to head straight to their bulk bins and stock up on some organic and Montana-made grains! Please stay tuned as we expand our list of Montana natural foods outlets, and be sure to keep watch on our website for retail offerings, nutritional information, recipes, and more!

THE LINK BETWEEN ASTHMA AND WHOLE GRAINS

Many people may not know that whole grains are not just for healthy eating but a healthy life.  There is a link between asthma and whole grains which is a health benefit.  This is just some of the information I found linking the two together.

According to the American Lung Association, almost 20 million Americans suffer from asthma, which is reported to be responsible for over 14 million lost school days in children, and an annual economic cost of more than $16.1 billion.

Increasing consumption of whole grains and fish could reduce the risk of childhood asthma by about 50%, suggests the International Study on Allergy and Asthma in Childhood (Tabak C, Wijga AH, Thorax).

 Just hoping to give you information on why whole grains can be a smart choice. I hope you find the information useful or beneficial. So put that in your back pocket.

 

DESTRUCTION MEN

      Thursday we had people doing construction and we were left with no internet connection which means phones are not working either!

      They are building a new rest stop right here in beautiful Harlo which is good but we really wish we didn’t lose our connection because of it. Sorry for the ranting but it really deters your business from operating. Hoping you guys are having a good day and wish we could have field some of  your calls! Have a good day and do not do anything too crazy! ;)
