PRODUCE DEPARTMENT
It’s strawberry time at Philbrick’s Fresh Market. Our berries arrive daily from the market, and local growers when the time comes, ripe and ready for your enjoyment. Here are a few fun facts and trivia about strawberries:
Native American Indians called strawberries “heart-seed berries” and pounded them into their traditional cornmeal bread. Discovering the great taste of the Native Americans’ bread, colonists decided to create their own version, which became an American favorite that we all know and love…Strawberry Shortcake.
Eight medium sized strawberries contain 140% of the U.S. RDA for Vitamin C. In addition, strawberries are good sources of folic acid, potassium, and fiber. Strawberries are also fat-free and low in calories.

Their stress-free lives create a milk with delicious flavor.

WINE DEPARTMENT
Saturday May 10 1-4pm - Special Mother’s Day Wine Tasting with Michael Burke from Vias Wine Importers.
White wines have grown in popularity, and we have expanded our selection! Brand new summer wines are in stock!
Todd’s Pick for Summer: Torrontès is a white grape grown throughout Argentina and is my favorite go-to “Porch Wine” for the warmer months. It has explosive aromatics that really jump from the glass - Hibiscus, jasmine, and citrus blossom along with perfume. On the palate it is full and equally as explosive with perfumed tropical and citrus fruits with a long, lush finish.
We have many Torrontès available from $11-$18. A great cocktail wine!
