NO FARMS, NO FOOD!
Gorge Delights "Just Fruit" all-natural fruit snack bars - now available in both the regular 40 gram size (equal to TWO whole pieces of fruit) and the new 25 gram size (equal to one BIG piece of fruit - great for younger snackers) These deliciously pure fruit snacks are just that - 100% fruit with no fructose syrup, sugars added or any of the usual 'tricks'. They are vegan, kosher, wheat/dairy/nut/gluten-free and packaged in an allergen-free facility. They are created, owned and operated three 3rd generation pear farmers in the Hood River Valley using all northwest fruit! By supporting these fine folks you are keeping the tradition of local farmers and farmlands alive.
The "Just Fruit" bars come in eight great flavors - four which are pear-based (a bit chewier, since pears bring you more fiber naturally): 'Pure' Pear/Pear-Cranberry/Pear-Blueberry/Pear-Strawberry, and four which are apple-based (somewhat softer and a bit sweeter): Apple-apple/apple-cherry/apple-blueberry/apple-raspberry
The Gorge Delight "Just Fruit" regular size bars (40 gram) are $1.25 'by the each'. Eight bars in ANY combination $9.50. A full box (16 bars) - would be $18. JW Merc offers three full boxes of 16 bars in ANY combination for $50. Remember that they have a TWO YEAR SHELF LIFE!. At this price you can get a few extra to stash away in the backpack, glove box and emergency kit.
The Gorge Delight "Just Fruit" 25 gram fruit snack bars come in six flavors: (apple-apple/apple-cherry/apple-raspberry/pure-pear/pear-cranberry/pear-strawberry) and come EVENLY MIXED in groups of twelve: $7.50 or twenty-four: $14.50. The 25 gram bars have the same great taste and the same long shelf life
Paley Bar - a line of organic snack bars created by Chef/Cyclist Vitaly Paley (who owns - with his wife, "Paley's Place" - the critically acclaimed Oregon-meets-south-of-France restaurant in Portland) who was the chosen Northwest region James Beard award winner in 2005! A cyclist who regularly rides to challenge the stress of the food/beverage industry, Chef Paley grew tired of the by-and-large powdery laboratory-created energy bars in the market. so he just assembled 4 versions of well-placed vitamins/nutrients and protein - each with its own character, but all "radically delicious".
Paley Bars are $2 each, but any combination of 4 bars would be $7.25¦and the best deal is any combination of 12 bars (full box) for $20.00. They are all organic (hence the higher price) and slightly larger (2 ounces) as opposed to the fruit bars. One year shelf life
***JW Merc is sorry to report that the 'Fruity-Nut' Evolution is currently not available until further notice! We apologize for any inconvenience...
Fruity Nut Evolution - this bar has the most common profile to other energy bars, but just plain tastes better! It's also characteristically Oregon - figs, cranberries, hazelnuts, oats etc. Wheat free and dairy free
Jam'n Peanuts - Think top shelf peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich in bar form - made for kids (of ALL ages!)
Paley's Comet - this one has some zing! (If you absolutely don't like ginger then skip on down to the next bar option) a most adventurous combination of crystallized ginger, yellow corn, roasted red bell pepper, soynuts raisins etc. Not exactly what you would expect from a snack bar - which is what we think is so cool about it. A little spice sneaks in at the end of this one...
Liquid Sunshine - named after our famous weather here in the Portland area - this is clearly the most decadent one of the bunch: Espresso coffee, chocolate, organic walnuts etc. A hint of ginger sneaks in behind the chocolate - a don't miss item!
Weighing in at 3.9 oz. - yes, almost a quarter-pound! Is The Everything Good Cookie and the Backwoods Bar (they are exactly the same bar - just come in two different packages, though our good friend Eva swears one tastes different). This is a flourless oat bar with flax, sesame and pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, mixed fruit and nuts. Think trail mix in bar form - without any flour or white sugar! (some people say they taste like cookie dough) This is perhaps the most sinful thing in the line-up - but a big-time crowd pleaser nonetheless. Remember - you DON'T HAVE TO EAT THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE!
The "EGC" as we call it, and the "BC" By the each the bars cost $2.25, but we sell three for $6.00. These freeze very well and once thawed can go 4-6 weeks easily Share one with a friend, try them crumbled up over yogurt - or toss a scoop of over the top after a quick warm-up in the microwave!
Mom's Nuts! (roasted organic hazelnuts done by our good friends out in Bend, Oregon: Strictly Organic Coffee Roasters. These local nuggets are packed in either a 4 oz. bag ($3.50), an 8 oz. bag ($6.25) and a 16 oz. bag ($12.00). No salt/no sugar/no foolin around - Mom's Nuts! (everybody says so)
Work Smart/Eat Well/Play NICE!!!
