<br />
If you've been to our site recently you might have noticed that things look a bit different! We are so happy to launch our revamped site and to share with all our customers. So we thought we would make a quick little post with some important information for new & returning customers. Hope this information helps, if you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Are you guys still selling all the same products?</b><br />
<br />
A: Yes, with very few exceptions. We took down some of the gift boxes because we are moving them to be more seasonal.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: I'm a returning customer, do I have to make a new account?</b><br />
<br />
A: No. You should be able to use your old username & password to log in. (If you encounter problems, please contact us and we will help you the best we can.)<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Are your shipping prices remaining the same? </b><br />
<br />
A: Unforentually no, as of January 1, 2018, we adjusted our shipping prices to reflect what we are being charged from FedEx & USPS (From the old site to the new one the shipping prices would look the same, but if you haven't visited our site in awhile you might notice the difference). We do not make any money on our shipping and pass whatever savings we do get on to our customers, we feel this is the most honest and fair option.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: I found a bug with the site, what should I do?</b><br />
<br />
A: Please contact us about it! We have been working on this for months and feel like we have still overlooked things, the more pairs of eyes the better! If you have already reported a bug to us, we would really like to say a great big THANK YOU. You've no idea how much it's been helping us!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Some of the product images look a bit...well...wonky...</b><br />
<br />
A: Yes, we're aware. We are in the process of creating brand new images to reflect current packaging & hope to have those images up by the second week of March 2018.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Q: Are you having any kind of launch celebration?</b><br />
<br />
A: YES! Of course! Use code NEWSITE18 at check out & get 20% off Dried & Powders. The sale will run from 2/28/18 through 3/31/18. <i>(One offer per order, to qualify for free shipping order must be over $235 AFTER coupon & only eligible product apply)</i><br />

Who doesn't love cookies? </h2>
<br />
We definitely do, but where cookies even came from? Or who makes up all these random holidays? Well, we looked it up! (Thanks, Google!)<br />
<br />
Turns out the English word "cookie" is derived from the Dutch word "koekie" which means <i>little cake</i>. There have been cookie-like wafers in existence for as long as baking has been documented, their ability to travel well made the quite popular, however, they weren't nearly as sweet as the common cookie. The origin of the cookie seems to be in Persia in the 7th century, soon after the use of sugar became popular in the region. After that, they spread to Europe through the Muslim conquest of Spain. Cookies were common at all levels of society throughout Europe by the 14th century, from the royal cuisine to the street vendors. Cookies arrived in America in the 17th century. Macaroons and gingerbread cookies were among the popular early American cookies.<br />

In 1976, Sesame Street included National Cookie Day on its calendar for the first time on November 26. The Cookie Monster also proclaimed his own National Cookie Day in the 1980 book The Sesame Street Dictionary. Then in 1987, Matt Nader of the Blue Chip Cookie Company out of San Francisco created Cookie Day celebrating it on December 4.<br />
<br />
<i>So, how can you celebrate National Cookie Day, and still eat healthily? Our Clean Eating Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies are a great option! </i><br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies</b></h2>
<br />
These cookies are soft and extra chewy! Our dried blueberries add a bright and sweet burst, while the warm cinnamon and oats provide a comforting backdrop. They'll stay soft for up to a week if stored in an airtight container.<br />

<br />
<br />
Yields About 15 Cookies<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
1 Cup instant oats<br />
3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour<br />
1 1/2 tsp baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted<br />
1 large egg, room temp.<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
1/2 Cup honey<br />
1/4 Cup <a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.com/premium-organic-dried-blueberries.html" target="_blank">Sunset Valley Organics' Dried Blueberries</a><br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<br />
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the honey until thoroughly incorporated. Add the flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the blueberries. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. (If chilling longer, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the entire surface of the cookie dough.)<br />
<br />
2. Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.<br />
<br />
3. Drop the cookie dough into 15 rounded scoops on the baking sheet. (If chilled longer than 1.5 hours, flatten each slightly.) Bake at 325°F for 13-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">"There are tons of unlikely duos out there when it comes to food. Such as cheese & jelly, chocolate & salt, broccoli & Cheetos, Mango & chili, goat milk & caramel, sriracha & peanut butter. A personal favorite of mine is peanut butter and pickle sandwiches-it’s an acquired taste, I’ll admit, but so good! Well, I seem to have stumbled upon another unlikely duo; Nectarines and Aronia berries! They are delicious together.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">Aronia berries are being harvested all over the united states right now. If your unfamiliar with this super fruit, it’s not surprising. While they are king of the super berries, they also pack quite a punch with an earthy, astringent flavor that typically drys out the mouth, think like a dry wine. They are also known as chokeberries, native to mid-west America, for years they have been seen as a weed, and removed from farm lands. However now, with the discovery of their nutritional value, farmers are planting them like crazy. If you live outside of the mid-west you might find them in your yard, because they have been commonly used in landscaping.</span><br />

<a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.com/" rel="noopener" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Sunset Valley Organics</a> is doing something unique with their plantings of aronia berries. They are applying what they call biological farming practices, which basically means they are putting minerals back into their soil, remineralizing it, which they have seen healthier plants, more nutritional fruit, the plants are able to defend themselves from insects and disease, and most recently they are finding their aronia berry plantings have less of that earthy, astringent flavor, even though the tannins in the skin that cause the astringent flavor are still there.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How can that be?</strong> Well it’s from the minerals doing their job, and interacting in such a way that the plant is producing fruit that has a higher sugar content, or Brix. (Brix is the standard unit of measure for sugar content.) That natural sugar is over riding the tannins and making them have a mild flavor. This year <a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.com/" rel="noopener" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Sunset Valley Organics</a> is seeing their aronia berries having an average of 26 brix, compared to last year they had 22, and the average, conventional aronia growers hit somewhere between 15-19.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The first time I ever tried an aronia berry I had to spit it out. It was so gross tasting to me, and it was around 19 Brix, the tannins were over powering, and it felt like I was eating literal dirt. Not a good experience. But when I tried last years crop from <a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.com/" rel="noopener" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Sunset Valley Organics</a>, I could actually eat them. It was so surprising! I started using them in baking and smoothies. <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">My favorite recipe I’ve found is <a href="https://theunicornsdelight.com/2017/06/28/aronia-berry-oatmeal-cookies/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Oatmeal Aronia berry cookies</a>, so good, and can be a healthy snack! </em></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #404040; font-family: Ubuntu, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So now with berries that are around 26 brix I’ve started incorporating them into other forms of baking, like today’s recipe! Because Aronia berries aren’t common at all, it’s important to experiment and play with them.</div>

Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking. It’s fairly forgiving, so if it cracks, just patch it up with slightly wet fingers and reform.</li>

Form the edges simply (avoiding too tall of edges or fancy designs as the coconut oil doesn’t hold it as well as butter) and add filling of choice. Roll out remaining crust, drape over the top of pie, and seal (optional).</li>

<br />
Summer is winding down in Oregon, and most of our harvest is over. We just have aronia berries left. This summer went so fast, but the weather was also so weird and caused all of our crops to be much later than expected. The only crop that was "on time" was our raspberries. This past week we wrapped up harvesting on our blackberries, and with the few last fresh ones we made this delicious cake to celebrate a harvest well done.<br />
<br />
We used a white sponge as a base for our cake, with layers of buttercream and fresh blackberries bursting with sweetness in the middle of the cake.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><br /></span>
<ol style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; letter-spacing: 0.3px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><ol>
<li>Grease three 9-inch pans. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.</li>
<li>In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in almond extract.</li>
<li>Use a fork to combine the eggs and milk together in a bowl or 2 cup liquid measuring cup. Set aside.</li>
<li>In another mixing bowl stir together cake flour, baking powder, and salt.</li>
<li>Add ⅓ of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix in until just combined. Add in half of the milk mixture and combine. Add in another ⅓ of the dry ingredients until combined followed by the remainder of the milk mixture. Add in the remainder of the dry ingredients and mix with the hand mixer until just combined, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom to make sure everything is mixed in.</li>
<li>Divide the batter among the three prepared pans. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Let sit in pans for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before layering and frosting. </li>
<li>To make the frosting: Use mixer (hand or stand) to whip softened butter and vanilla extract together. Slowly add in powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time. Thin out with milk if it gets too thick.</li>

This is a short little post on some delicious scones we just had to share! This summer is so weird for where we live. Usually blueberries are in season from late June to mid July, then peaches come in to season with blackberries in August. Not this year though, all three are over lapping which is so exciting! We got to use fresh blueberries, and fresh peaches in these scones. We usually used dried blueberries, and dried fruit, so it's a bit of treat to use fresh fruit. Work has been so busy with harvest that this is really the first time we've had a chance to bake in what feels like forever.<br />

<li>Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, or spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.</li>
<li>In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Grate the frozen butter (a food processor is perfect for this). Mix in the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.</li>
<li>In a small bowl, whisk cream, egg, and vanilla together. Slowly pour into the flour mixture and stir the two together with a spatula until everything looks like it's been moistened. Slowly, and carefully add in blueberries and peaches. At this point the dough will be very wet, and a bit sticky, you'll want to work the dough into a ball.</li>
<li>Transfer the dough ball onto a floured surface, press into a flat disk and cut into four quarters. Then cut each of those in half so you have a total of 8 equal wedges. Because the dough is overloaded with fruit it's ok if the dough doesn't want to stay as a wedge. When baked they will just be a bit more on the round side.</li>
<li>Place wedges onto prepared baking sheet, at least two inches apart from each other. Place in over, bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool on cooling rack.</li>

<em>Make A Head Tip:</em> These scones are awesome to enjoy in the mornings all week long. They be kept at room temperature for 2-5 days. They also are awesome to freeze, and will keep for up to 3 months.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: avenir, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 12px;">
<span class="font-avenir" style="line-height: inherit;">Most of you are aware that last summer we were crazy busy during harvest. In the summer of 2016 we harvested about 2 million pounds of fruit, this year we are projecting at least 3 million. With that much fruit to be harvested we have had to make some hard choices in where to cut back so a balance can be achieved. This has resulted in our decision to not have a U-Pick this summer. We are sad that we can not continue, but our harvest is our first priority. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: avenir, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
<span class="font-avenir" style="line-height: inherit;">We will still be offering already picked & washed blueberries in 30 pound boxes and 5 pound bags. For these you pull around to our office and we help you there. The price for those this year will be the same as in the past at $100 (30 pound box). </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: avenir, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
<span class="font-avenir" style="line-height: inherit;">We would like to thank everyone who has come out and supported us over the years. We hope you will continue to enjoy our berries. </span></div>

Thanks to everyone who called an placed an order, we are so glad we can provide a cheaper method of shipping so more people have the chance to enjoy our nutrient dense berries. When we get to September we will start looking at temperatures again to see if we can offer this method again sooner rather than later. Typically it won’t be available until mid-October though.</span></div>

This spring has been such a treat for fresh veggies at our local farmers market. One of the tasty treats we've been enjoying this spring is a Blueberry Broccoli Spinach Salad. It's super simple and easy to through together with just a few ingredients. It's delicious with your favorite dressing or a poppyseed ranch.<br />
<br />

<b>Instructions:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Make the dressing (skip if you are using store bought dressing)- mix all the dressing ingredients together. Ranch dressing always tastes better if it's chilled, so if you are making this dressing, it's best made ahead of time. Whisk and chill for a few house before serving, or you can even make the salad and dressing the night before. </li>

<li>Add a pinch of salt to the paste.</li>
<li>Take salted garlic paste and add to the rest of the dressing ingredients and whisk well.</li>
<li>Place in fridge to chill for a few hours.</li>
</ol>
<li>Make the Salad: </li>
<ol>
<li>Wash + Dry spinach</li>
<li>Combine with broccoli, blueberries, dried cranberries, avocado, feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds.</li>
<li>Toss with dressing & serve.</li>
<li>Season with pepper to taste.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-top: 9.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-size: small;">As most of you are aware, last summer we were
crazy busy during harvest. In the summer of 2016 we harvested about 2
million pounds of fruit, this year we are projecting at least 3 million.
With that much fruit to be harvested we have had to make some hard choices. The
biggest change is that we will no longer have a farm stand in the summer, nor
will we have the U-Pick for blueberries.This also includes any pre-orders for
Raspberries, blackberries, and black raspberries. We hope our loyal customers
can understand our decision. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-top: 9.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-size: small;">Please know this was not an easy decision for
us to make. We spent the better part of the winter and spring trying to work
out how we could make a it work. And finally, we just had to face the truth,
that we've reached a point that we have to make some cuts. Last year we had to
cut back our U-Pick and farm stand to being open only for 2 weeks, and during
that time we felt strained in making sure everything was getting the attention
it needed. We take customer service very seriously, and we just felt like we
were not meeting our expectations during those two weeks. Additionally, finding
workers is becoming harder and harder, and this too has played a part in our
choice of closing the farm stand and u-pick. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 150%; margin-top: 9.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-size: small;">We will still be offering already picked
& washed blueberries in 30 pound boxes and 5 pound bags. Like in past
years, for these you will pull around to our office and our office staff can
help you there. The price for those this year will be the same as in the past
at $100 (30-pound box) and 5 pound bags for $24.00. We will post here, on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SunsetValleyOrganics" target="_blank">facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/svorganics" target="_blank">instagram</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/SunsetOrganics" target="_blank">twitter</a> when these are ready to be picked up. You can also call us and place a pre-order if you are wanting to pick up two or more boxes at a time. Our office phone number is 541-752-0460. The hours for pick up will be Monday to Friday 10 am to 4 pm, our normal office hours. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Spring Superfood Bowl<br />Featuring Blueberry Ginger Dressing</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Spring offers so many yummy greens while we wait for fresh berries to come back into season in Summer. Lately we've been obsessed with spinach and have been enjoying our superfood bowls a little too much! So much so in fact that we just had to share!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Ingredients:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>4 oz spinach</li>
<li>1/2 cup cook quinoa</li>
<li>1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts</li>
<li>1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed</li>
<li>1/2 cup sliced almonds</li>
<li>6 oz fresh or frozen blueberries</li>
<li>1 avocado, peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>For the dressing:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>1/3 cup blueberries</li>
<li>1/4 cup olive oil</li>
<li>1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and chopped</li>
<li>2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar</li>
<li>1 tbsp maple syrup</li>
<li>salt & peper to taste</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Instructions:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a food processor. Pulse until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.</li>
<li>For the salad divide the spinach into two bowls. Top spinach with quinoa, sprouts, chickpeas, almonds, and blueberries, and avocado, dividing evenly between bowls. Top with blueberry-ginger dressing and serve. </li>
</ul>

Oregon is home to rain but some sun every once in a while would be nice too! With a little luck the fields will start drying out and we can get on with preparing for the coming harvest.

<div style="color: #808285; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
Most of you are aware that last summer we were crazy busy during harvest. In the summer of 2016 we harvested about 2 million pounds of fruit, this year we are projecting at least 3 million. With that much fruit to be harvested we have had to make some hard choices in where to cut back so a balance can be achieved. This has resulted in our decision to not have a U-Pick this summer. We are sad that we can not continue, but our harvest is our first priority. </div>
<div style="color: #808285; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
We will still be offering already picked & washed blueberries in 30 pound boxes and 5 pound bags. For these you pull around to our office and we help you there. The price for those this year will be the same as in the past at $100 (30 pound box). </div>
<div style="color: #808285; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
We would like to thank everyone who has come out and supported us over the years. We hope you will continue to enjoy our berries. </div>
<div style="color: #808285; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
<em style="line-height: inherit;">We will have a blog post late May/early June about all the changes we are making why we are making them.</em> </div>

<strong style="line-height: inherit;">Cold Weather Shipping is still going!</strong> Since spring is here, if the temperature gets above 75 degrees where you are please call us and we will discuss if it's safe to ground ship berries to you.

Thank you to everyone who has taken advantage of our Cold Weather Shipping! </div>
<div style="color: #808285; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
For those who are new to this, every year when it’s cold (nation-wide) we are able to send our<a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.createsend1.com/t/t-l-krluyhl-l-f/" style="color: #f01149; line-height: inherit; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in;" target="_blank"> frozen berries</a> by ground rather than 2 day air, which saves a lot of money! We can only offer this while it’s cold out, usually fall through the early part of spring.</div>
<div style="color: #808285; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
You do need to <strong style="line-height: inherit;">call us</strong> if you would the ground shipping though. Our online store is not set up for it. You can <strong style="line-height: inherit;">call us at 541-752-0460 </strong>Monday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm Pacific Standard Time.</div>

Our Aronia berries are unique in that they are so packed full of nutrients that the brix (sugar content) is actually a lot higher than average and this makes the tannens in the berry not so much at the forfront of the taste. Instead a sweetness starts to come through.<br />
<br />
Typically this is a good indication of nutrition in our foods accross the board; nutrition=more flavor.<br />

Then when you bake, or heat the aronia berries their astrengent weakens even more. So we've been baking, like A LOT! So we've developed two yummy recipes for Aronia berry oatmeal cookies. Today we will be sharing our conventional recipe, and keep an eye out for our gluten free aronia berry cookies coming next week.<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>1 C. All Purpose Flour</li>
<li>1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon</li>
<li>1/2 TSP Baking Soda</li>
<li>1/4 TSP Salt</li>
<li>1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened to room temp</li>
<li>1/2 C Brown Sugar</li>
<li>1 Large Egg</li>
<li>1 TSP Vanilla Extract</li>
<li>1 and 1/2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats</li>
<li><a href="https://goo.gl/gKgdxL" target="_blank">1 C Dried Aronia Berries</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Directions:</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. </li>
<li>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.</li>
<li>Slowly mix in the flour mixture and continue mixing until just combined, then mix in the oats and raisins until fully combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. </li>
<li>Cover the cookie dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. </li>
<li>Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside. </li>
<li>Once the dough is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and scoop out 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough and dropped onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave a little room between each ball of cookie dough as they will spread a little while they bake. </li>
<li>Bake in separate batches at 350 F. for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown and the top is set. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Notes: </b></div>
</div>
<div>
-Prep time includes 30 minutes of chilling time </div>
<div>
-Cookies may be stored on the counter in an airtight container for up to 5 days.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">What does it mean to be nutrient dense? </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">People say things are nutrient dense all the time. </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">So what makes us different?</span> </h2>
<br />
First of all many manufactures use the term "nutrient density" loosely, without testing, whereas we do testing, and we share the results with our customers (<a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganicberries.blogspot.com/2016/05/nutrient-analysis-report-of-svo-berries.html" target="_blank">Check out 2016's results here)</a>. We use a third party lab for the testing to avoid bias.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiYaNelCvpSaizfAjrG5ASUhA3miCCKuIcAfC_PUZtbLs5SOUx4LmAnqmJReYVZ1vpUkCewGDdCG0j_1p-51fJq1qGDS4GpGwbaU3Xhn8L8kfZEj9kERX21iOciViQg1OrImlJ1HQ5B0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-04-14+at+9.30.49+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXiYaNelCvpSaizfAjrG5ASUhA3miCCKuIcAfC_PUZtbLs5SOUx4LmAnqmJReYVZ1vpUkCewGDdCG0j_1p-51fJq1qGDS4GpGwbaU3Xhn8L8kfZEj9kERX21iOciViQg1OrImlJ1HQ5B0/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-04-14+at+9.30.49+AM.png" width="628" /></a></div>
<br />
Nutrient density is a direct result of how healthy the plant is, and we work hard to make sure our plants and soils are healthy, by remineralizing the soil. Generally, the agriculture industry, across the nation, does not understand the importance of remineralizing our soils. It is these lacking minerals that contribute to nutrient density, along with aerobic soil microbiology. The two working in tandem, will create nutrient dense food.<br />
<br />
Our definition of nutrient density:A higher concentration of nutrition in a given volume of food, meaning that our products exceed the USDA standards for nutrition.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDKXzptHDk41hD4b5rC_eNMHvt_U9B_IzhEnf6UKfOr93O-M1mgmvkDKdTm-7MCPm_3revNvqgo6Eq0t2LupmRq2TLnWalw5ofKbld_UcXPqqm486QIW2tKvhscsjCUdKCmG5vsfhM90/s1600/P5040263.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDKXzptHDk41hD4b5rC_eNMHvt_U9B_IzhEnf6UKfOr93O-M1mgmvkDKdTm-7MCPm_3revNvqgo6Eq0t2LupmRq2TLnWalw5ofKbld_UcXPqqm486QIW2tKvhscsjCUdKCmG5vsfhM90/s640/P5040263.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Secondly, something we do differently with all of our products is that we start with premium berries. It may surprise people, but a lot of companies do not start with a premium product. This is why sugar is added to our foods - to hide and cover the sub-par ingredients that lack, not only nutrients, but also flavor. (Minerals ALWAYS make flavor, no exceptions.) Just because something is sweet does not mean it has flavor and nutrition.<br />
<br />
Our powders act as a super charged way of getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs every day. For example; one spoonful of blueberry powder contains approximately the same nutrition as 8-10 spoonfuls of fresh blueberries.<br />

This month is going to be really busy for us here on the blog. Every Saturday there will be a new post plus a couple of other posts that will be published through out the month. We hope you enjoy everything we have prepared! We are still exploring and playing around with our berry powders. They are so versatile that you can really use them in anything! It's sort of like adding salt or pepper to a recipe, it's just something that comes naturally. </div>

So first up are these delicious double blueberry scones, we used our dried blueberries and our blueberry powder in them. They are gluten free and if you replaced the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar then it would be vegan too! </div>

Our berry powders are a supercharged way of getting your daily fruits into your diet. You can mix our powders into baking, oatmeal, smoothies, milk, ice cream, and more! Like our dried berries there are no additives or preservatives in the powders so we're keeping the product as natural as possible. </div>

<em style="line-height: inherit;">*Note: None of our powders dissolve in water*</em></div>

For those who are new to this, every year when it’s cold (nation-wide) we are able to send our<a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.createsend1.com/t/t-l-hhutuht-l-m/" style="color: #f01149; line-height: inherit; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in;" target="_blank"> frozen berries</a> by ground rather than 2 day air, which saves a lot of money! We can only offer this while it’s cold out, usually fall through the early part of spring.</div>
<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
You do need to <strong style="line-height: inherit;">call us</strong> if you would the ground shipping though. Our online store is not set up for it. You can <strong style="line-height: inherit;">call us at 541-752-0460 </strong>Monday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm Pacific Standard Time.</div>

March was crazy busy and stressful for us. But it all paid off, we are so proud to announce we now have new berry powders available in our shop! We now offer a full line of berry powders; Blueberry, Blackberry, Black Raspberry, Red Raspberry, & Aronia Berry!<br />

During the month of April when you purchase any of our powders (4oz or more) you will receive a 2oz sample of another flavor. No coupon needed, this is just something we are doing so our customers can try more of our new products!<br />
<br />
We've gotten one common question about our powders which is "How do you use it?" So we thought we would share some of the ways we use our powders. If you receive our newsletter then you saw this months featured recipe of 'No Bake Blueberry Energy Bites' well that was just a jumping point for us. We dived in head first into Energy bites, and the results are really delicious!<br />

<br />Fun fact about working with the powders, they don't come off on your hands when forming the balls, so you don't have to worry about your hands getting covered in it! :) <div>

The Pacific Northwest has been getting a good amount of snow. The snow has melted here in the valley; however, Portland still has a decent amount of snow which has been interfering with deliveries and shipments. We thank everyone who have bared with us. This is the first winter where the snow has actually effected more than a day of normal operations.</div>

<span style="color: #dbad25; line-height: inherit;"><strong style="line-height: inherit;">News From Around the Farm</strong></span></h3>
<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-top: 12px;">
Is anyone else having a hard time believing it's already November? October just flew by! We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Our's was filled with spooky movies and popcorn (and of course our <a href="http://sunsetvalleyorganics.createsend1.com/t/t-l-htihtdd-l-y/" style="color: #f01149; line-height: inherit; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in;" target="_blank">chocolate covered blueberry clusters</a>!).</div>
<div style="line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
Over the last month or so we've been getting the farm cleaned up and ready for Winter. One of the bigger tasks has been tying blackberry canes- we've been at it for about three weeks now and still aren't done! Another project we've tackled was spreading sawdust mulch among the blueberries, and the final big project we completed was pruning our black raspberries. </div>

Directions:</h3>
<ol style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 24px; margin-top: 12px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 12px;">In your stand mixer bowl, add the yeast, 1 tsp of sugar, and lukewarm water. Let stand for a few minutes.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">When the yeast has foamed up, add the room temperature/lukewarm milk, oil, salt, ground cinnamon, sugar and 1 cup of flour. Mix with a spoon to combine.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Put stand mixer bowl in place, add 2 more cups of flour and using the dough hook, allow the mixer to knead.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">If the dough is sticky, add flour 1/2 cup at a time.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Let mixer knead dough for about 4 minutes and until it is no longer sticky.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Remove dough from mixer bowl and oil the inside lightly. Place dough back in bowl, cover with a towel and let it sit in a warm spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">After the hour has passed, punch the dough down and let it sit for a few minutes while you prepare the pan and filling.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Line an 11" x 13" pan with parchment paper. Allow an overhang on each side so they can be easily removed from the pan when done.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Slice apples into 3/4" pieces (see images above to get an idea of how they should look).</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the cinnamon.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Lightly flour your work surface, stretch and roll your dough into a rectangle that is approximately 12" x 18".</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Brush melted coconut oil over the entire surface.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Sprinkle brown sugar/cinnamon mixture onto dough.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Sprinkle dried blueberries and then apples onto the dough.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">From the long side, firmly roll the dough. Roll slowly to ensure it is tight as can be.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Pinch the entire length of the seam to seal and turn the entire roll seam side down so it's at the bottom.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Slice off an inch of dough from each end.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Slice the roll into 12 slices.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Place each slice into the parchment lined pan. It's OK if they are close together.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Cover with a towel and place in a warm spot. Let rise for 30 minutes.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Preheat oven to 375°F.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">After the rolls have rested, bake for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes in pan.</li>
<li style="line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Remove using parchment paper overhang and place on a cooling rack.</li>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Saturday Morning Waffles</span></h2>
<br />
The weekend is always the right time for delicious waffles, so this morning we broke out the waffle iron and had some delicious nutrient dense blueberry waffles.<br />
<br />
Now the rains have set in here in Oregon it really feels like fall, and waffle also tend to just fit in to a lazy rainy day feel.<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy the waffles as much as we do!<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 12px;">
Harvest is finally over for us, yesterday was our last day processing Aronia Berries. What a season we had! We harvested far more than we did last year, we did so much that we’re still doing the totals for inventories. The most improved crop we had were our Aronia berries. We had a brix (sugar content) average of 22%, last year we were under 20, this improvement has resulted in the Aronia berries not having that overwhelming astringent flavor, and being much more palatable. We are really excited to start drying these berries because we think that the improved flavor will translate well into the dried berries. When we have Aronia berry freeze dried powder it will be from this years berries, so we are also looking forward to getting that in stock.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
Speaking of freeze dried powders, they have really taken off the last couple of months. Thank you to all who have bought it! We are excited to be bringing black raspberry, red raspberry, and aronia berry freeze dried powders to our shop. We are sending the fruit to be made into powder this fall, so it will be sometime in the winter when we will have it for sale. We do still have blueberry and blackberry freeze dried powder and will have it in stock all year round now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
Now that harvest is over, we are actually still moderately busy, getting the plants ready for winter. It’s in the fall when the plant decides how many fruit buds to set for next summer’s harvest. So we make sure the plants are healthy, and getting all the food they need before they start hibernating for winter. Another reason we feed after harvest is because if the plant has a lot of sugar in it then that can act as a natural anti freeze, and if we get some harsh winter weather the plants can pull through all by themselves. We are also cleaning up the fields, cutting back the weeds and doing some beautifying to the farm. Once the plants have berries on them we can’t run machines down the rows because berries will fall on the ground, so we can’t do our weed management like we would like to.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #808285; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-top: 20px;">
If you want to find out more about our farming practices then check out our blog through out the month! We are resuming our Biological 101 series and the topics we will be covering this month are: The Importance of the Ryzosphere, and Nutrient and Their function. We are playing catch up because we haven’t posted anything since April. Right now we are planning on have posts up on September 10th and September 24th, so be sure to check back often!</div>

We will be able to bring back our Cold Weather Shipping special sometime in October. For those who are new to this, every year when it’s cold nation wide we are able to send our frozen berries by ground rather than 2 day air. Which saves a lot of money! We can only offer this while it’s cold out, usually fall through the early part of spring. You do need to call us if you would the ground shipping though. Our online store is not set up for it. You can call us Monday through Friday 10 am to 4 pm Pacific.</div>

<br />
We are finally getting back on track with our biological series since harvest is now over! We left off with talking about why it's important to farm with a biological mind set, now lets us start to focus in on some fine details that really impact how the plant is able to react to the biology. We will be starting with the Ryzosphere.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #38761d;">So what exactly is the Ryzosphere? </span></i><br />
<br />
The Ryzosphere is a microscopic area surrounding the root tip where micros live and feed off of the sugar and exudates that are secreted by the plant. These microbes feed off the sugars that the plant secrets thought the root tip in turn multiply and feed off the <b>available</b> minerals that are the very edge of the ryzosphere. As the micros (bacteria) feed as they die or are eaten by protozoa the plant takes up the dead bacteria, which is rich in minerals, or the digested bacteria that the protozoa feed on.<br />
<br />
In this form, this is real plant food, and how minerals get into the plant making the plant nutrient dense.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
The difference between this approach (biological) and conventional is that the conventional grower will only feed N-P-K. The only way a plant can be nutrient dense is by using the microbes in the ryzosphere to soublize <b>ALL</b> the necessary minerals to be nutrient dense, rather than just N-P-K.<br />
<br />
<br />
