A Few Health Facts

According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of all Americans have high blood pressure and many do not know they have it. According to the CDC, more than 30 million people in the United States have diabetes, and one in four of them do not know they have. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to have your blood sugar and blood pressure checked at no cost to you!

Pharmacists are some of the only healthcare providers educated in providing “self-care” and treatment using over the counter products. We are excited to be partnering with the Carolina Association of Student Pharmacists and we hope to see all of you on Monday, August 26!

About Five Acres Honey Farm

Five Acres Honey Farm is a Certified Naturally Grown apiary in Pittsboro maintained by Certified Beekeeper Tara Lynne Groth. Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) is a national accreditation known as “the grassroots alternative to certified organic.” Five Acres Honey Farm maintains one of only three CNG apiaries within 100 miles of Raleigh, North Carolina. Annually inspected, CNG apiaries are recognized for using natural beekeeping practices without synthetic chemicals, antibiotics, or GMOs. 🐝

Five Acres Honey Farm minimally-filters raw honey and only uses glass jars. As a small-batch producer, Five Acres Honey Farm hand-pours and labels every jar.

These are just a few of the many reasons we chose to carry Five Acres Honey Farm honey. They will have a website in the next few weeks that we will share with all of you so you can get more information.

A Few Health Benefits of Honey

Five Acres Honey Farm

Here are some health facts about honey that Tara Lynne Groth shared with us from the National Honey Board:

  • Honey is a “natural alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine” and is “a wholesome sore-throat soother, a natural energy booster”
  • “Honey contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. Flavonoids and phenolic acids, which act as antioxidants, are found in honey”
  • “Honey can help maintain muscle glycogen, also known as stored carbohydrates, which gives athletes the boost they need when they need it most”

Depth Apparel Co. As you know, the 501 Pharmacy team loves the water! 501 Pharmacy is a sponsor of the Cary Park Sea Dragons and a lot of Han’s free time is dedicated to helping his sons’ at swim team and just having fun out in the water.

Starting mid-August, 501 Pharmacy will be selling some of Depth Apparel Co.’s merchandise including t-shirts, hats, hoodies, and more – in hopes to support the liquid lifestyle. Be on the lookout for this merchandise hitting the shelf soon and keep reading to learn more about this great brand.

Han, Family, and Friends in Their Depth Gear

Depth Apparel Co.

“From from the recreational level to the Olympic podium, aquatics has been our family tradition for generations. Whether we were swimming, diving, playing water polo or riding waves, we were all in the water from a young age. Even to this day if we’re not working out at the closest pool, we’re outside somewhere on the open water.

Through the years we couldn’t help but notice how many clothing brands were available to other sports and lifestyles, while there was relatively nothing designed specifically for what we did in the pool every day. After a little research, we figured we would fill that gap. So we sourced some local vendors, artists, and designers, and worked hard to present the Depth brand to you.

While we love our liquid lifestyle, we hope our company will represent even more of what Depth means to us. Not just the water lifestyle and thrill of competition, but striving for deeper meaning in every pursuit. Go out there and Make Waves!”

About Maple View Farm

In January 2001, Maple View Ice Cream opened its doors on New Year’s Day. To this day, those doors remain open! The idea for making delicious homemade ice cream came from Robert Nutter, the founder of Maple View Farm, and his daughter, Muffin Nutter Brosig. With the success of bottling fresh Maple View Farm milk, Muffin and her father decided that the community would appreciate and enjoy fresh local ice cream. After going to ice cream school at Penn State, their dream became a reality. Muffin and her father believed that premium ice cream must be hand-crafted in smaller batches and made with the freshest cream and highest quality ingredients available. They decided to use as many local ingredients as possible, local berries, North Carolina pecans, Orange County honey and cream from the cows grazing in the pastures of Maple View Farm. Their delicious Maple View Ice Cream is a true “cow to cone” treat. Learn more at MapleViewFarm.com.
