Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars Arriving Soon At Village Market

A new item for our Village Market customers will be hitting the shelves soon. Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars “are moist, soft whole wheat cake bars with a sweet fig filling and makes a great on-the-go-breakfast,” according to Dutch Valley Foods.

Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars seem to be a hit with those concerned about nutritious snacking, and popular choice with parents as well.

Littlestomaks.com, a blog focused on toddler nutrition, had this to say about Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars:

Each packet contains 2 pieces which makes a nice built-in portion control feature. In the whole wheat type we are trying right now, the dough is made up of whole wheat flour, organic evaporated cane juice, canola oil, brown rice syrup, caramel color, apple fiber, sea salt, citric acid, baking soda, lecithin and baking powder. The filling contains fig paste, brown rice syrup, organic evaporated cane juice, rolled oats, molasses, citric acid and sea salt.

Here is what we like about this product -

1. A dairy-free option for people with dairy allergy
2. Simple, natural ingredients
3. Tastes good
4. Only 110 calories per bar
5. No saturated fat or trans fat
6. No cholesterol
7. Provides fiber, calcium and iron

We find that our customers are searching for more and more of these types of products lately. Classic Food Services gets a lot of feedback from clients requesting products with natural ingredients or to suit a specific dietary need.

Next time you’re in Village Market, give them a try.

Wanna Go On a Picnic With GoPicnic?

Classic Food Services just received a new item, GoPicnic Ready-To-Eat Meals. Like me, you are probably asking, “what is that?”

Well, according to their website it’s basically an entire meal in a box.

Every nutritionally balanced, shelf stable meal combines a satisfying mix of protein, fiber, and fruit, and each bite, from crackers to hummus to applesauce to delectable dark chocolate, is full of wholesome ingredients. To us, that means no trans fats, no high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), no added monosodium glutamate (MSG), and no artificial flavors and colors…. whatsoever.

I know, sounds like something that you might have to eat if you are stuck in space, or a nuclear fallout shelter. BUT NO! GoPicnic is for only those with a discriminating taste and a palete for the finest foods.

Taste is king at GoPicnic – our very discriminating panel of foodies and taste-testers care first about what tastes good; then of course that each food item has to meet our rigorous standards for ingredients, packaging, and other criteria. And we serve up the best of the best to you in GoPicnic ready to eat meals: spice up your lunch with chili lime salmon or lemon pepper tuna on multi-seed crackers, keep it simple with peanut butter crackers and applesauce, enjoy mini-sandwiches of all-beef salami, cheese spread and organic crackers. We blend our own Sweet Perry Orchards Specialty Fruit and Nut Mixes, and we always include a sweet treat for dessert to round out each shelf stable entrée. These aren’t your Grandfather’s MREs.

That’s right grandpa. No more stories about walking five miles, in the snow, uphill both ways to get freeze-dried ham-in-a-can. This is the good stuff. But seriously though, gopicnic ready-to-eat meals are cool. You can see their full list of items here.

They also offer options in all-natural, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and kosher. A little something for everybody.

Village Market Expands To Triangle Businesses

Last fall, Classic Food Services in Durham, NC, began thinking of different ways to bring fresher, healthier snacks to their clients.

For so long grabbing a snack at work meant the bag of chips and can of soda out of the vending machine, fumbling for crinkled dollar bills and loose change. Lately a push for healthier snacking, especially here in the Triangle area, has made people a bit more tentative in reaching for a sugary or salty snack.

Sometimes however, getting a healthier food option into a vending machine isn’t so easy, as Gawker explained in a recent blog posting.

So, Classic Food Services started using the idea of the Village Market, a store that fits into a company’s workspace. This way, employees have quick access to salads, bottled water, gourmet sandwiches and an array of healthier options outside of the usual vending machine options. The first Village Market, installed at Classic Food Services was featured on ABC11 WTVD and since then has expanded to other local businesses.

But healthier options, such as salads, aren’t the only benefit to the Village Market concept. “The Village Market takes debit cards, credit cards and we can also do special promotions,” said Ronnie Longwell, Village Market coordinator for Classic Food Services. “We have a lot more capability than vending machines can offer.”

The Village Market looks to continue branching out into local businesses, serving clients throughout the Triangle area. “By the end of this week there will be five Village Markets. Two in Cary, one in Hillsborough and one in Roxboro,” said Longwell.

North Korea To Stop Nuclear Program For Food

North Korean fatass dictator leader Kim Jong Un has agreed to stop nuclear testing in exchange for “nutritional assistance” from the United States.

According to a report on CNN.com ,

“the United States has agreed to finalize a package of 240,000 metric tons of nutritional assistance to North Korea. There will be intensive monitoring to assure that the delivery is made to those in need and not diverted to the military or government elites, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.”

So in exchange for 240,000 tons of food, or Kim’s weekly White Castle intake, he’ll stop playing with his penis extension missiles.

Seems like a good trade off, so long as the people of North Korea get the food and don’t have to keep eating tree bark and rat sandwiches.
