Microgreens and Eggs Are Available Now!
We want to introduce you to our new farmer, Holli! Her farm mission is to create systems that harmonize with nature while producing copius amounts of delicious food.
They are committed to using only NON-GMO seeds and feeds and NEVER chemical fertilizer or pesticides. Pilates Plus has the opportunity to be on their customer list. Clients will receive 1 pound of microgreens and 1 dozen eggs weekly.
We can take up to five customers. Deliveries will be on Tuesday evenings weekly. Pick up will be on Tuesday evenings between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday morning from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost for the weekly share is: $21.00.
DON'T WORRY IF YOU CAN COMMIT TO A WEEKLY SHARE, WE ARE STARTING A LIST OF CLIENTS WHO WANT TO TRY JUST ONE WEEK, OR WHO WANT TO SELL THEIR SHARE WHEN NEEDED.
The first order will be delivered on 11/29.
We want to support local farmers---don't you?
Not sure why you should be adding microgreens to your diet? Sunflower MIcrogreens are a regionally sustainable Superfood! They are 25% protein by weight (7g per ounce!!) They are a complete and live protein with all the enzymes necessary for use. Packed with B vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll wich boosts energy and purifies blood. They also have lots of lethicin, which helps fight fatty acid and inhibits the kind of
plaque associated with high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. They are so delicious--use them on sandwiches, salads, in smoothies and just as a snack!!!
Holli's Eggs are the best we have ever stocked, but can only be purchased as an add-on to the greens. For the first time we are stocking Free-Range Eggs, fed a non-GMO feed. You will never buy store bought eggs again!
When you place and order--please put a note in the order that you are a Pilates Plus customer, Holli, the farmer, will contact you within 24 hours to arrange payment.

Welcome Jenny Roberts to the Pilates Crew
We want to welcome Jenny Roberts to the Pilates Plus Family. She will be teaching private lessons and group class effectivec 11/7. Jenny has been teaching movement and fitness since 1986. Beginning as a women's competitive team gymnastics coach and choreographer, she later became a Certified Personal Trainer; Certified TRX® Tactical Force Instructor; Certified Yoga, Indoor Cycling, Step, Body Sculpting, Kickbox and Aqua Fitness Instructor; POSE® Method Running Coach; and Master Swim Instructor.
Jenny's interest in Pilates came in her late 30's when back pain sent her to physical therapy. Pilates exercises were part of her rehab regime and quickly helped her back feel better. Convinced Pilates was essential to her own health, Jenny became a Certified Pilates Instructor for Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrels in 2010. She soon found her interests gravitating toward rehab clients and those with special needs such as Wounded Warriors. In 2012 Jenny earned a Pilates certification for Injuries and Special Populations and began working with Wounded Warriors at Fort Sam Houston Army Base.
As a military wife, she has had opportunities to teach and learn fitness in a number of unique settings and locations all across the U.S. and overseas. Her military affiliation has also afforded her the unique opportunity to train and teach physical fitness not only to Wounded Warriors, but to active duty soldiers including Special Ops members.
Regardless of who she is working with, Jenny's desire is to help and teach clients to function at their best level of health and live life with vitality and hope.
