Hello Feathery Friends!
Story Time: Zach (ZACE) Meyers is this dude that lives in the middle of Amish Country Ohio, and has been making HIGH quality American Selvage Denim jeans and overalls for 17 years.
Side Note: There are NO MORE AMERICAN SELVAGE DENIM Manufacturer’s
https://www.gq.com/story/cone-mills-disappearing-selvedge-denim
Back To The Story: Last winter I had a chance to catch up with ZACE, in his workshop, and also get my hands on a pair of overalls and jeans and jacket and whatever else he had available. Folks, I was staring at a “cone” of an extinct product. This is the denim that you see being found in barns 100 years after they were made, with generations of hard work laced into the fabric.
Long story short, I wear them everyday. I keep the overall’s nice, so that if I have a meeting I can dress up real fancy like, but the jeans take the everyday work load of farming, raising kids, packing yellowbird boxes, and even an occasional nap on the porch.
As I was leaving his house after that winter visit he calls me says, “Hey, I patented these bandana’s a couple years ago that I think your member’s would dig.” I thanked him, but reminded him that the cost would be too high. He then says, “No man, I’ll just give you a thousand, and you can put one in each box!” EXCUSE ME?!?!? WHAT?!?!?
So there you have it. There will be a ZACE BRAND Bandana in each box this week. They are NOT made out of that American Selvage Denim, but they ARE super cool and a nice entry point for you to see the branding, visit the website https://www.zacedenim.com, and wear a piece of hard working “Americana”.

Storage:
The paper towel will help soak up moisture and prevent mold from developing. Store the blueberries in the refrigerator. Avoid keeping them in the coldest part of the fridge, or they will get damaged from the cold. The best place to store the berries is on the middle or bottom shelf.

Cherries
Storage:
According to a cherry expert we spoke to, cherries can lose more quality in one hour at room temperature than a day in the refrigerator. Thus, get your cherries in the fridge as soon as possible, preferably wrapped in a plastic bag. Wash them with cold water just before eating.
