NEWSLETTER - MARCH 2007 (download PDF) 
Employee Spotlight: Martha Unruh SzambeckiMartha began at Prairie Harvest in 2003, working in customer service and bringing her friendly, helpful personality to everything she does, from stocking shelves to bagging bulk items to ringing up customers' orders. She wanted to join the Prairie Harvest team because she appreciates the philosophy the store was built on, including commitment to community and the environment, and giving folks healthy choices for their families. She also enjoys the people she works with and the interactions with customers and the local community. When not at Prairie Harvest, Martha is a part-time social worker at Presbyterian Manor. She also volunteers at Slate Creek Elementary (where her daughter, Kate, is a first grader), is active in church activities, and enjoys playing the piano. Martha noted that there are so many products at Prairie Harvest that her family likes and uses that it was hard to narrow it down to one favorite product. She especially appreciates items available for people with food allergies, and regularly uses pastas, granolas, personal care products, snacks and baking products from Prairie Harvest. She also really enjoys the fresh local produce available in spring, summer and fall months. As a small, local market we are able to bring in new items regularly. Among the several new items in the past weeks are: Healthy Clippings Coupon Booklet, Spring edition will be available in mid-March.
