- Rogue Creamery’s Organic Rogue Smokey: “Playfully inspired by Smokey Bear, this American original is cold-smoked for many hours over Oregon hazelnut shells.

You’ll taste spicy-sweet flavors of honey, apple, and nectarine, plus a mild “blue” finish.” Pastuerized Cow, Oregon
- Cypress Grove’s Truffle Tremor:Similar to its “sister” cheese, Humboldt Fog, made by the same creamery, this cheese has real truffles flecked throughout, imparting a wildly delicious yet subtle earthy, mushroomy flavor that marries perfectly with the tart goat milk, with a crumbly fresh interior and a gooey creamline. California.

Made from raw sheep and cow’s milk and aged for a minimum of 7 months, Shepsog has a firm texture and aromas of cultured butter and fresh buttermilk, alongside bright flavors that are lemony and sweet, with notes of caramel and a clean, nutty finish. Pair with toasted nuts and raw honey, shave over grilled asparagus, or enjoy with a handful of trail mix as you observe the view from your nearest mountaintop.” Grafton Village, VT.

The Top Supplements From Our Wellness Team For The New Year.
The start of the New Year is a wonderful time to hit the reset button on your wellness routine and to adopt new wellness resolutions. If you are considering adding supplements to your regimen, we understand it can be an overwhelming experience trying to decide what to incorporate. To help with the decision making, our Wellness team, Bob, Annie and Cosmia, are each sharing their top 3 favorite supplements for a healthy 2024 New Year.
Bob’s picks:
1. Primal Kitchen Collagen protein and BlueBonnet Whey Protein because most older folks don’t get enough protein. As a 66-year-old who still considers myself an athlete, protein is even more important for me to maintain and build muscle mass. I’m partial to a 50/50 mix of Primal Kitchen Collagen protein and BlueBonnet Whey Protein after a workout for a 26-gram protein boost. My goal–80 to 100 grams total protein intake per day from all sources.
2.Lysine: Traditionally used to prevent herpes outbreaks, I take this amino acid with strong antiviral properties to protect against Covid. It seems to be effective against a variety of viruses.
3.Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Strong, anti-inflammatory supplement to counter the pro-inflammatory effects of seed oils high in Omega 6 fatty acids. Eat cold water fish like salmon, anchovies and sardines or take as a liquid or capsule supplement. Great for your brain and your joints.
Annie’s picks:
1. Source Naturals Wellness Formula is my go to supplement for immune support. It delivers a high potency of vitamin C, plus other vitamins, minerals and herbs that target advanced immune support.
2. Xlear Nasal Spray because it is fast and effective at alleviating congestion, soothes the nasal passageway, and washes away pollutants and airborne contaminants.
3. Herbalist and Alchemist Sinus Support Compound is formulated with different herbs that help support healthy sinus function. It can help alleviate upper respiratory congestion or nasal drip.
Cosmia’s picks:
1. Holy Basil, also known as tulsi, is an amazing herb that acts as an adaptogen in the body. An adaptogen is a plant that helps the body adapt to stress and supports mental and emotional wellbeing. Holy Basil may balance blood sugar levels, decrease inflammation and support the body’s response to anxiety and fatigue.
2. Harvest Market’s Liquid Vitamin D because of the growing body of research that highlights this vitamin’s role in immune system support, healthy bone density, cardiovascular health, weight management and mood boosting support.
3. Natural Factors regenerLife is formulated with nutritional compounds including Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Coenzyme Q10,
L-Glutathione and Superoxide Dismutase, that target optimizing mitochondrial function. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells and play a critical metabolic role in all organ systems. Boosting energy at the cellular level can help alleviate symptoms of stress, fatigue, reduce pain, and help support muscle recovery.
