KEEPING IT LOCAL AT SEASONS GROCERY

— By Carlee Gettman

Lake Las Vegas is keeping it local at Seasons Grocery. The full-service grocery store and deli is stocking its shelves with locally made products in support of small businesses in Southern Nevada.

“We are a small business that puts a large emphasis on supporting other small businesses,” said Aaron Sanchez, general manager of Seasons Grocery. “Our goal is to help these local brands gain awareness, over the bigger brands that are already well known, and have their products available at our local grocery store.”

Local brands that have already hit the shelves include Sugar and Spice, Chef Flemming’s BakeShop, Pahrump Honey Company and Las Vegas Distillery.

SUGAR & SPICE

SUGAR & SPICE delivers its famous Peanut Butter Balls freshly made in the Las Vegas Valley by Sherri Long, head baker and CEO. These gourmet hand-dipped chocolate peanut butter balls are truffle-sized and packaged in boxes of four and 12.

PAHRUMP HONEY COMPANY

PAHRUMP HONEY COMPANY, based in Southeast Pahrump, gathers its desert honey from bees working the Great Basin Desert. The honey comes directly from the hive to the shelves with only one stop at the cheese cloth filter station. Available products include honey powder, raw desert honey, assorted honey stix, diced candied ginger root, honey combs, ginger honey, cinnamon honey and honey dippers.

CHEF FLEMMING’S BAKESHOP

PAHRUMP HONEY COMPANY

LAS VEGAS DISTILLERY opened in 2010, making it Nevada’s first craft distillery and whiskey maker. The distillery’s locally handcrafted products include Local Artisan Vodka and Booze Brothers Whiskey. The vodka is distilled from wheat in small batches and the whiskey is produced from aged corn. CHEF FLEMMING’S BAKESHOP is a small family-owned shop based in Henderson. They make their Danish-inspired pastries and specialty cakes from scratch daily. Their desserts range from danishes, crumb cakes and muffins to macaroons, cookies and brownies.
