Good Morning Barley Lovers!

Here's what we've been up to at Progressive Foods...

Hope Mission Edmonton Spring Banquet - Progressive Foods donated Quick Cooking Mandarin Barley Salad for the Hope Mission Spring Banquet held on April 29th. The evening was focused on the accomplishments of the Hope Mission and the wonderful work they do with the Edmonton homeless community. I was told that the Hope Mission Men's Choir performed at the banquet and they were quite melodious! Congratulations! Hope Mission is a very needed and caring home for those in need and we are pleased to be one of their supporters.



Grande Prairie...We will be at the Grande Prairie Diabetes Expo on Saturday May 14. It's being held at the Holiday Inn Banquet Room. We will be there with free samples, recipes, and information on how Quick Cooking Barley can help you with your diabetes.

Next up is a visit to Edgar Farms from Innisfail Alberta. Each year they have an Asparagus Festival filled with good food, entertainment, and of course, asparagus! There will be tasting demonstrations, yummy products available at their Farm Store, a petting zoo, and we will be there giving out sample tastings of one of our favorite recipes (still to be decided). Our Quick Cooking Barley will be available for purchase. The Festival runs May 28 & 29 at their farm. Check out their website for more information and directions: http://www.edgarfarms.com/ 

We hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather that is coming our way. Let the sun shine in!!

In good health,

Progressive Foods Inc.
