Craving a Coke? Reach for the Zevia!
For at least the last decade, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have urged Americans to cut down on sugary drinks. Soda, the guidelines warned, “contributes to obesity and disease, and it appears may affect concentration and overall behavior, especially in children.” People actually listened—for a time. They cut out supersized sodas, went back to a medium…
Read MoreA marriage made in bee heaven
“For millions of years, bees and flowers have worked together to create countless naturally healthy and flavorful honey combinations.” So says an opening line on the Wedderspoon Manuka Honey website. At GreenAcres, we like what that image congers up: Bees working feverishly to gather the nectar from the rare and beautiful flora of Manuka trees…
Read MoreChameleon Coffee—get a buzz-on as big as Texas!
Cold brew, say the coffee experts on the Chameleon Coffee webpage, “refers to the process of preparing the coffee, not the temperature of the final product.” I must admit, I thought cold brew meant iced coffee, which I drink regularly.

Read MoreTea and Thee
Sixteen years ago, two British fellows by the name of Tim Westwell and Sebastian Pole decided (presumably over a cup of tea) to start an herbal tea company. Their collective dream was to familiarize people with the health benefits of medicinal-grade organic herbs so that all might enjoy a healthier, happier life. They named their…
Read MoreUdi and Rudi…what’s in a name?
These two bakeries may share roots in the same state, but that’s where the “alliteration affiliation” ends. Except, both companies make excellent products that sell amazingly well at all eight of our GreenAcres stores. So what’s their story? First up: Udi’s. What started as The Sandwich Man diner in Denver, Co, 20 years ago, developed…
