Juicer Giveaway
To celebrate reaching over 3000 fans on facebook, and the
launch of our new website, we want to present to you a giveaway! What we have
here is a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor. We’d like to thank Hamilton
Beach for sponsoring this giveaway and generously providing this prize.
This machine gobbles up fruits and vegetables whole. Most of our apples are larger, so they need to be cut in half first, but when using most vegetables, you just feed it through the chute, with no precutting required. You’ll need to peel your citrus fruit, and take pits out of cherries and peaches, but other than that, you just wash your produce and toss it right in. You’ll be amazed at how FAST and SIMPLE it is to get fresh juice, and because our fruit is so sweet and flavorful, you can add handfuls of vegetables and not even taste them! I went from eating spinach and carrots once a week to once a day with the help of the Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor! And the best part? The kids love it too! If your house is anything like mine, it’s always a battle at mealtime to even get your kids to put the vegetable on their plate, let alone eat it! We've found that celery, carrots, spinach, and cucumbers all have a mild flavor that pairs well with apples, pears, and oranges. With juicing you are losing out on the fiber, but all the other essential nutrients are still there, and are actually absorbed into your body faster than eating the food raw.
The Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor is easy to assemble, and has an extra-large pulp collecting bin, so you can juice nonstop for the entire family. You’ll want to remember to put the cup under the juicing spout, because nobody likes to drink the juice straight from the counter top (ya, that accident may have happened more than once around here!). I also suggest putting a towel or napkin under the machine to catch any drips of juice that may fall out after moving the juicing cup. Because it’s dishwasher safe it’s a breeze to clean up as well (although I still suggest washing it by hand immediately after juicing to prevent the pulp from drying onto the machine). The pulp left over from juicing can be tossed, fed to animals, added to the compost heap, or be used in many recipes. Because produce loses vitamins shortly after juicing due to exposure to light and oxygen, you’ll want to consume your juice within 24 hours, or freeze for later use. We've been juicing strawberries and putting it in ice cube trays to freeze. It makes a wonderful treat when added to lemonade on hot summer days!
You’ll want to enter this giveaway because this juicer is
awesome! I find that I never get the suggested amount of fruits and vegetables
in my diet. Well, working at The Red Barn I get plenty of fruits, but
vegetables and I have never been that great of friends. I mean who wants to
munch on broccoli, spinach, and brussels sprouts when you can have an apples,
berries, and cherries instead? Well with this juicer you can do both!

We’d love you to share the recipes you’ve come up with on
our new “share your recipes” feature on our newly remodeled website. Here’s one
I created using produce from The Red Barn and my Hamilton Beach Juice
Extractor. I call it The Cooler Cooler!
The Cooler Cooler
1 cup cherries
1 cup strawberries
2 apples
2 oranges
Wash all fruit. Peel the oranges, pit the cherries, and cut
apples in half. Toss into juicer (or blender) until smooth. Pour over ice and
serve garnished with an orange slice or strawberry if desired. Simple,
nutritious, and refreshing!
With juicers, the recipe possibilities are endless. Use your
imagination and you’ll be right on your way to a healthier you! So, are you
ready to try juicing yourself? Enter this giveaway for your chance to win!

Planting Pots
We had a great turn out for our Planting Planters and Hanging Baskets class. Based on the number of coupons redeemed in the greenhouse, I'm guessing there are lots of beautiful planters around town! We'd love to see what you ended up creating. Before the class, I hand painted these old beat up terracotta pots to give them a fresh look.
I took my sons to the class and greenhouse with me. While they enjoyed looking at all the bright colored, beautiful flowers, they LOVED finding the "bugs". We saw butterflies, bees, and even a fat toad!
Just one of our several happy customers! He couldn't wait to surprise his wife for Mother's Day! (Flowers make a great gift if you haven't picked up anything for Mom yet....it is this Sunday!!)
Remember how I was going to stack those pots? Well, after seeing the great selection of flowers, I just couldn't help but buying a little of everything! I didn't have room to stack my pots anymore, so I just planted them like so.
