The CBD Connection
Did you know that the price of most agricultural products has been artificially lowered by USDA subsidies to industrial farms, and does not reflect the true cost of growing food? In order to keep our sustainably grown fruits and veggies affordable AND fairly compensate our local farmers, the Produce Department offers another time-honored agricultural product ~ legal cannabis ~ to raise the bottom line of our department, help cover operating expenses of the store and create value for our members.
For the month of July our CBD products including gummies, infused honeys, bath bombs and beverages such as seltzers, cider and kombucha will be generously discounted!
If you are already a fan, stock up! If not, consider giving them a try. The “industry” has come a long way in recent years, offering many convenient and delicious ways for the plant to help with stress, anxiety, and sleep.

A bit about the physiological relationship between humans and cannabis:
The human body has its own endocannabinoid system, and naturally responds to the influx of cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. The endocannabinoid system is made up of neurotransmitters and cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), which are spread throughout the entire body. CB1 receptors are found in largest concentrations in you brain an central nervous system, while CB2 receptors are more commonly present in peripheral organs, especially cells involved with the immune system.
The endocannabinoid system, along with its receptors and neurotransmitters creates a communication network between the vital systems in your body, regulating a vast range of biological functions, such as sleep cycle, mood stability, pain and pleasure perception, appetite, and much more. When administered, CBD extract stimulates the cannabinoid receptors and may positively impact your body and brain. Moreover, it prompts the body to produce more of its own natural cannabinoids!
