August and Sunflowers

Discover:

Sunflowers are more than just a beautiful summer bloom — they’re a radiant symbol of the season’s end, their golden petals stretching toward the late-summer sun. Native to North America, sunflowers have been treasured for centuries, not only for their beauty but also for their practical uses — including natural dye, food, and nourishing oils.

Sunflower seeds are a heart-healthy snack packed with antioxidants and vitamin E, making them especially great for skin health. Try them in baked goods, sprinkled on oatmeal, added to trail mix, or whipped into creamy sunflower seed butter.

For optimal nutrition, dry roast or soak the seeds for 4–8 hours before eating. It's best to skip the commercially roasted varieties, which are often processed with inflammatory oils and loaded with salt.

Life & Such:

Polita’s Place has officially been part of the Evergreen community for one year! Time has flown, and I’m deeply grateful for the support and warmth this town has shown. I’m excited for what’s to come and can’t wait to share more organic, small-batch products in the year ahead.

And yes, I still love staying connected to Bailey! Some of my favorite moments are the spontaneous meetups with customers somewhere between Evergreen and Bailey — thank you for being part of this journey. -Paula
