Cure Farm Has Tomato Baskets!
I'm so happy to see the return of the hanging cherry tomato baskets at Cure Organic Farm's farm store, newly opened for the season (closed today, but back open tomorrow). At $35, they initially struck me as kind of pricey, until I realized that would be the norm for a hanging flower basket of similar size (and these tomato baskets are big). We were without a basket last year, when their crop did not flourish to their satisfaction. But the baskets they have this year are covered with blossoms, and the one we got already has several cherry tomatoes well in the works. Why do something like this in a hanging basket? For one thing, it makes for a very different hanging basket. More importantly to us, it can be hung just out of reach of the mouths of hungry deer. We got ours at the farm store, but maybe they'll be bringing them to the Farmers' Market as well.

Friday News From WFM Pearl
I was at the Whole Foods on Pearl this afternoon, and found that they have started a Friday fish steaks sale, a one-day deal possibly going all summer. I instantly switched my plan from the albacore I was going to buy to fresh swordfish instead. In produce, I also stumbled on an unadvertised sale of organic roma tomatoes for $1.99 a pound, and that one looks to last the entire length of the regular sale (didn't bother to drag out my glasses to check the fine print).

New Deals At Alfalfa's
Alfalfa's has a new set of specials that runs through May 31st, and now that I have my hands on their sale flyer, here's what looks hot to me.
It's a good time for organic tomatoes around town, and Alf's is joining the fray with organic grape tomates at $2 (doesn't specify, but presumably a pint) and organic romas at the very good price of $1.49 a pound. (Elsewhere, you'll find the organic grape tomatoes for $1.99 at Sprouts and $2.50 at Whole Foods, while organic hothouse tomatoes are $1.99 a pound at Sunflower.) Organic yellow onions are great at just 69 cents a pound, although Alf's regular price of 89 cents is excellent too. I haven't tried their Butcher's Choice single ground chuck, but the 85% lean is $3.99 a pound, and my experience so far with their meat department has been great. Also, Beeler's bone-in pork chops are $3.99 a pound, their half or whole hams are $5.99 a pound, and in fish, they have local fresh trout for $5.99 a pound. My favorite big 32 ounce containers of Straus organic and kosher yogurts are very good at $2.99 each, and Back to Nature crackers and cookies look good at $2.49 a box.
Outside of food, they have quite a few supplements on sale, including "Now twin packs 2 for 1, save 50%." Does that mean the twin packs are BOGO, or you get two bottles for the price of one because they're packaged as a twin pack? And in wine, they have one from France that sounds good at $6 off, La Barrone 2008 Montagne D'Alaric blanc for $8.99 a bottle.
