Limoneira Mercantile Brings County Heritage to Life; Grand Opening March 5 & 6, 2005
Limoneira Company, a 112 year-old Santa Paula land, farming and food company, is bringing a bit of California and Ventura County history and heritage to its new Limoneira Mercantile, a seven-store retail and food destination in Santa Paula. The Mercantile, located at 55 Hallock Dr. and Highway 126 at the eastern entrance to Santa Paula, will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday and Sunday, March 5 and 6 with prizes and giveaways throughout the weekend. Radio station 95.9 ("The Octopus") will broadcast live from noon to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 5.The Mercantile includes Limoneira Fresh, a 3,200 square foot, open-air farmers' market with farm fresh fruit, nuts and vegetables.
"Limoneira Fresh celebrates Ventura County's long agricultural history," says Scott Edwards, general manager of the Mercantile. "We'll sell the finest quality produce?quality usually found only at high-end retail grocery stores." Gift packs filled with fresh fruit and coffee products will be sold at Limoneira Fresh and are available now online at www.limoneirafresh.com.A 300-square foot flower shop, Natural Beauty Flowers, will be inside Limoneira Fresh. The flower shop is owned and operated by Santa Paula resident Barbara Kroon. All her flowers are from local growers in Carpinteria and Oxnard.Celebrating a Ventura County tradition of the 1950s, ?60s and ?70s, the Mercantile will Include Bob's Big Boy Express, complete with the landmark Bob's Big Boy statue out front. "This marks the reentry of Bob's into Ventura County," says Edwards.
"The last Ventura County Bob's Big Boy closed in the 1980s. All of Bob's Big Boy favorites are back including the Big Boy Original double-decker hamburger, hand-breaded onion rings, fresh strawberry pie and shakes." Reaching back to the very beginnings of Limoneira Company is the introduction of Limoneira Coffee Company's Caf? do Brasil. Limoneira Company founders were frequent visitors to South America in the early days of the company. The Limoneira Coffee Company will serve 100 percent Arabica premium coffee grown and roasted exclusively at a 40,000-acre family-run farm in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. "All Limoneira coffee beans are separated by size, density and color so each bean is roasted under optimum time and temperature conditions," says Bill Allen of Limoneira International Division, which operates Limoneira Coffee Company's Caf? do Brasil.
"This ensures each cup of coffee comes from perfect beans. Most other retail coffee outlets mix or blend their coffee beans so the beans?and taste?are uneven and inconsistent." Besides serving and selling only Guar? coffee brand products, the caf? will feature a full coffee house menu including hot and iced coffee drinks, gourmet teas, desserts, baked goods, bags of whole bean coffee and Brazilian coffee and chocolate gift packs. The caf? is a wireless Internet hot spot where customers can access the Internet from their wireless laptops or through the coffee house's own bank of computers. Live weekend entertainment is planned. Other merchants at the Mercantile include a Union 76 gas station, car wash and convenience store.
"The original home of the Union Oil Company is right here in Santa Paula where the California Oil Museum is now located," says Edwards. "As a nod to the mutual heritage of Santa Paula, Union Oil and the Limoneira Company, it's ideal that the gas station at the Mercantile is a Union 76. Many Santa Paula residents will recall that some of the founding fathers of Limoneira Company also were involved in the formation of Union Oil as well as Santa Paula."The Limoneira Mercantile is a combination of Ventura County history and modern day progress," says Edwards. "Those who visit will be able to enjoy both in one setting.".
What Can Roses Do For You Today?
In the past millennium, it has been ordinary to see roses and their depictions being one and the same as attractiveness and grace. This is evidenced in writings as far back as Shakespeare (and probably further), demonstrating that roses have long been known as attractive and elegant. Obviously, the modern economy and most of today's business world has caught up with this notion, and has appealed to the concept of roses being the essence of loveliness, and often, even brought about this conviction. While this is not completely improper, roses have obviously become exceedingly pricey in the past few years. Florists have come into the market, and on a few holidays especially conceived for the sole purpose of exchanging greeting cards and roses, florists are able to pull in at least $75 for a dozen or so roses.
Roses, while not cheap, have become a necessity for formal events and nice occasions; weddings being the best example of such. So what is the answer? What is the cheapest way...

Butterfly Gardens For Your Region
I grew up in the city surrounded by asphalt and concrete sidewalks, brick buildings and vacant lots ? but there was no lack of nature or butterflies in my life. Amid the sprawl of a decaying urban landscape, the overgrown vacant lots choked with ?weeds' attracted so many butterflies that they would perch on my shoulders and hands if I was still enough. These ?accidental' butterfly gardens provided all the ingredients that butterflies require to congregate en masse. These same ingredients can turn your garden into a fairy wonderland of fluttering wings and color.Over the past thirty years, butterfly gardening has become popular, both to attract the beautiful travelers and to help preserve species of butterflies that were dwindling due to human encroachment into their natural habitats. If you're planning a butterfly garden, it's important to keep in mind that there is no one recipe for a successful garden.
Butterfly species that are indigenous to different areas are attracted to...
