New! Island Gluten Free Bakery Products
This young company’s mission has always been to offer healthier, whole-grain gluten-free and wheat-free products. They do not skimp on ingredients! Whenever possible they use organic or all-natural ingredients and whole grains–not white rice. DLM is now carrying their gluten-free, wheat-free, and dairy-free soft Hamburger Buns, Multi Seed Sandwich Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and a Chocolate Brownie. All products are made and sealed in a dedicated gluten-free bakery in Sarasota, Florida. Customers can’t believe these products are gluten free because they taste too good! One customers remarks "First bite…I was in burger heaven. The bread was sweet–almost treat like…it was more like a nice gourmet hamburger bun you would find in an 'upscale' burger joint. Nicely done! Another 800 points because it didn't fall apart with the mustard on it! A lot of GF bread falls apart if it gets "wet" but this one held on and tasted fantastic!”

Pansies
Pansies are one of the most popular and recognizable cool-weather annuals. Many pansies are bicolored, making them striking plants for their small size. They're a great choice for early and late season containers, and they complement spring flowering bulbs, flowering as the bulb foliage begins to fade. Take some home today and plant in a container to enjoy on your porch or patio!

Kathie’s Kitchen SuperSeedz
Kathie’s Kitchen SuperSeedz is a gourmet, all-natural, high-protein, low-carb pumpkin seed snack. Flavors include Sea Salt; Somewhat Spicy; and Cinnamon & Sugar. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of iron, zinc, magnesium, and copper. As stated on the label “no shells-no spitting required”. They are dry roasted and seasoned – great on salads, in soups, or right out of the bag. The Cinnamon & Sugar won an award as a dessert topping in Connecticut. Some potential health benefits of pumpkin seeds are: prostate protection; improved bladder function; prevention of osteoporosis; natural anti-inflammatory; prevention of kidney stones; treatment of parasites; lower cholesterol; and protection against many cancers.
