🎼🎶I got chills, they're multiplying
And I'm losing control
There's still power Hydro's supplying
It's electrifying (electrifying)

I better warm up
'Cause I need some wood
And my wood piles covered in snow
I better warm up
You don't understand

I can't reach my wood pile its true
Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
Pressed logs are what I want (Pressed logs are what I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one's I need (the one's I need)
Oh, yes, indeed (yes, indeed)

SGS now has pressed logs in stock! Skip the wood pile and all that extra cleaning! Pressed Logs are clean, uniform in size, and burn consistently. With fire logs, you don't have to worry about the hassle of hauling wood into your home bringing in bugs, bark or dirt along with it. Compressed wood fire logs can be stored in your home with little to no mess reducing your "trips to the woodpile." Pressed fire logs also produce less than 1% ash which makes clean up quick and easy!

As I write this, it's Saturday and customers keep coming in and saying its snowing. Yet every time I look its sunny. I'm beginning to think some of you have some dirty windows that need cleaning. Well you are in luck, this week glass cleaner is on sale!

And all the cleaning is going to make you hungry, just in time to see the actual snow! Crunchy, yummy granola and our Canadian raised B&C frozen chicken and beef is also on special. So get your specials early, and after cleaning your windows cuddle up to your favorite teddy bear, pet or partner (or all three, no judgment) to enjoy the show!

NEW IN STORE!
My first experience with fermented pickles has made me realize these must be sold here. So may I present...
BUBBIES KOSHER DILL PICKLES
The pickles that made her famous, Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles are naturally-fermented raw, creating her signature cloudy brine. Sour and crunchy, these traditional pickles contain no vinegar or sugar and are preservative-free and Non-GMO.

Dill pickles are the most popular pickles of the bunch and, as you might have guessed, they get their name because of their distinct dill flavor. They are a popular gluten-free fermented food and kitchen staple. The gut-healthy qualities provide an abundance of health benefits, especially in providing healthful probiotics.

In addition to a healthy snack, our Kosher certified dill pickles pair well with a burger, hotdog, egg salad, BLT, cheeseburger, Bloody Mary, grilled cheese, Cuban sandwich, quesadilla, falafel, and more. They can even be paired with fish, stand alone as a fried pickle appetizer, or compliment your most elaborate charcuterie board.

You'll love Bubbies pickles and pickle juice because they offer endless possibilities for every meal.
If you are a Bubbies Pickles fan then you are most likely familiar with our signature cloudy brine full of tart flavor and spices. If you are new to traditional fermentation or have picked up a jar of our pickles and wondered why the juice wasn’t clear, or bright green, don’t fret.

This is totally normal, and here’s why: FERMENTATION!

Bubbies Kosher Dill Pickles, as well as our sauerkrauts, green tomatoes, and relish, are naturally fermented in water with salt and spices. Cloudy brine is a natural by-product of the fermentation process and it tastes delicious! The cloudiness is a combination of lactic acid and yeast and is the reason why they call it Lactofermentation.

Why Does This Happen?
Various strains of bacteria are present on the surface of all plants, especially ones growing close to the ground, like pickles! Lactobacillus bacteria converts sugars into lactic acid, preserving the pickle. Lactic acid prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. Over time the cloudiness can settle out of the brine to the bottom of the jar and on the tops of the Pickles or Tomatoes. Some batches are naturally cloudier than others, but all are safe to consume and taste delicious. Shake Until Cloudy and Enjoy!

Cloudy brine is a sign that you have a safe, successful, and tasty ferment. Even after all the pickles are gone and you have a jar of delicious brine leftover, don’t toss it!

Our brine is delicious in salad dressings, tuna, and egg salad, but a lot of people like to drink it straight out of the jar!

Find them in the refrigerated section.

I have tried to have this sale for a while now, but the one item I wanted to feature keeps selling out before I can start the sale. So finally...

What's New in Store!

Not new new, as I have had this product in 3x now. Unfortunately, it has not lasted long enough to make to my sale day! This week I have enough on my shelf to put it on sale! But I don't expect it to last for the whole week! Eco Max orange spray cleaner makes cleaning smell fantastic, and it disinfects too! Plant based and safe for septic! Clean with a clean conscience.

Kombucha is a favorite among many, but Culture Craft Kombucha is unique because it also brings other ‘greater-good’ benefits like protecting local farmland, reducing negative impacts on the environment by using recyclable, photodegradable and compostable labels and eco-friendly packaging, and keeping money in BC communities by supporting farmers in BC. Based in Vancouver, this is a true BC product.

Now for some of you, don't let the health food label scare you! Yeshi is unbelievably delicious! What is Yeshi you ask? Yeshi is a gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and plant-based nutritional yeast dressing and dip. But like I said, you can ignore that part and just say yummy dip.

Now technically this is not new, but a product we were unable to source for a couple of years. Just like the #4 coffee filters, we finally resourced, Paper Chef Baking Cups have been asked for some time now. And they are finally back, and on sale!
