Choosing a Natural Dog Product

Monday, May 25th, 2009

When it comes to giving your dog natural dog products, where better to turn to than a trusted, family owned company?  Brownwood Acres has been delivering premium Montmorency Tart Cherry products for over 60 years, so when it comes to man’s best friend and a name you can trust, it’s Brownwood Acres hands down.

Our newest product is called CherryFlex® For Dogs and although it’s new to our product line, it contains the exact same CherryFlex® paste that thousands of you have already come to rely on.

You see, this all started when our customers began contacting us a few years ago saying that they’ve been giving our CherryFlex® gelcaps to their senior or otherwise injured dogs.  This feedback was so positive, that it started owners Bob Underwood and Steve deTar thinking.  The calls kept coming, their wheels kept turning and the next thing I knew, we had an enteric coated CherryFlex® gelcap that is perfectly suited for dogs.

So the next time you’re searching for natural dog products for your best friend, order a satisfaction guaranteed bottle of CherryFlex® for Dogs from the world’s most potent fruit capsule manufacturer.  We guarantee you’ll like what you see!

For additional information regarding this or any other product from Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast®, simply give us a call toll free at 1-877-591-3101 between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday – Friday EST.  You’ll always get a friendly voice that will help get your order out immediately.  You may also email your questions to mary@brownwoodacres.com or to myself at Ken@fruitfast.com and we will gladly reply promptly.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The Diet Choice is Yours

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Life is all about choices.  And among the most important ones are those that “follow you” through life, day in and day out.

As a vegetarian, I choose to not eat meat, chicken or fish and limit my diet to one that is high in unprocessed high grains, protein and fiber.  Whether you choose the vegetarian path, a vegan diet or prefer to eat meat and poultry, a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables should be the goal.

Trendy diets, fasting and consuming just one food for a period of time are techniques and fads that can be convincing and confusing.  Just what is good nutrition?  And what simple reminders can I follow for myself and my family?

Here are some of my personal suggestions;
• Eat five or more servings of fruit a day – preferably dark-skinned fruit for their antioxidant content
• Eat a wide variety of vegetables – locally grown when possible
• Avoid processed foods with refined sugars, preservatives and chemicals
• Stay away from fast food
• Don’t skip meals
• Remember the importance of drinking water
• To help reduce that craving for a late night, sweet snack, drink FruitFast Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate after dinner

Good eating and a balanced diet equals healthy living.  It’s what we are all about at Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast with the quality products we offer.  Add regular exercise and good sleep habits and it’s a formula that, over time, can make you look and feel better from the inside out.

Sensible living translates into eating well the majority of time, watching your intake and your output with exercise and using simple common sense choices.

Shipping Costs Drop on Many FruitFast Orders

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Good news is always fun to share and we have plenty to pass along about shipping costs for our customers.

With the introduction of Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast’s newly redesigned website, we now offer a choice of shipping options: United Parcel Service (UPS) or United States Postal Service (US Mail).

In many instances, even with postal rates rising on May 11, 2009, shipping costs through US Mail are almost 50% cheaper than using UPS when sending to certain locations.

Here’s a quick example:

Amy lives in Topeka, Kansas.  She is a regular customer purchasing three bottles of CherryFlex four times a year and additional products more frequently when we have a monthly special – like our fruit supplement bars in May.  But the UPS shipping expense cost Amy $7.22. Her price went down to $4.09 when we switched her shipping to US Mail. Most Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast customers can expect a savings of $3.50 to $5 per softgel shipment when ordering up to six bottles.  Delivery time is generally 2 to 5 days and is very reliable.

If you are ordering on a Thursday or Friday, delivery time is actually faster since US mail moves all weekend.

We are anxious to find the very best shipping option for you, no matter where you live – including Canada, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.  For example, we can ship one bottle of softgels for only $5.00, 2 for $8.00, 3 for $10.00 and 4 for $12.00 (USD).  If you don’t see the country you wish to send to listed on the Brownwood Acres website, please send us an e-mail.  You may also visit our International shipping page by clicking here. We use US mail flat rate boxes for our heavier items like concentrates, which can also reduce the shipping charges for you.
Have a friend or serviceman in another country?  Call or email us and we will be happy to compute the shipping costs overseas, which are consistently much more economical through the postal service.

We are happy to calculate the charges to ship our 100% natural and all-fruit products right to your door. Call us toll free at 1-877-591-3101 or send me an email at mary@brownwoodacres.com.

Thanks for helping us spread the good news to family and friends…

The last piles of snow have finally melted, the hillsides are greening and farmers in our neck of the woods are predicting that the cherry blossoms will be in full bloom by May 10.  Spring brings welcome sights and smells after a very long and snowy winter here in the northern Great Lakes region.

At Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast®, we share the sense of renewal, feel the urge to celebrate the season’s change, and enjoy the out-of-doors again.

That’s why the May Special we are offering is perfect timing.  A  Mother’s Day gift that’s sure to delight…
