New! Tanka Bars
Buffalo and dried cranberries make this an exceptional energy bar, with only 70 calories and seven grams of protein. Tanka Bars are made with buffalo raised naturally by Native American tribes in South Dakota. They use minimally processed buffalo meat, preserved naturally by using savory herbs and spices and other natural ingredients. It is then slow cooked for nine hours. The sales of these bars will help support Native American wellness traditions.

Cake Shop Does “Extreme Makeover”
When the DLM Cake Shop got wind that the popular TV show, Extreme Home Makeover, was going to be building a home in Beavercreek, we immediately started thinking of what we could do to help. Since they already do so much for the families, DLM wanted to see what we could do for the builders and volunteers. The Cake Shop ladies decided to make the largest sheet cake they had ever made! They came up with a 5' x 4' trans fat-free cake that needed a special board made to fit this "ginormous" cake! Everyone with the Extreme Home Makeover worked so hard, and it was great to see all the smiles when the cake was unloaded.

New! McTavish Shortbread Cookies
The story of this shortbread starts somewhere in Scotland with the McTavish family recipe. Over the ages, the secret to shortbread was handed down from generation to generation. The Oregon-based company has worked hard to perfect the recipe. Yummy flavors include White Chocolate Pecan, Lemon-Lavender, Chocolate Chip, and Traditional.

New! New Chapter Wholemega
From the pristine, protected waters of Alaska directly to you, Wholemega is 100% wild-caught salmon oil. Wholemega is rigorously tested to ensure each capsule delivers nature’s bioavailable, effective, and whole profile of beneficial fatty acids and nutrients. Wholemega contains a balance of omega 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9s, which have been shown to benefit brain, heart, cardiovascular, eye, kidney, immune system, and digestive health. The gentle process used to extract Wholemega preserves the natural astaxanthin found in wild salmon. Astaxanthin, an extremely powerful antioxidant, gives Wholemega its brilliant hue, setting it apart from many of the light yellow-colored conventional fish oils.
