Closer to Home for the Holidays
There’s no place like home for the holidays! Spending time with family, eating good food, and… traveling. There’s no question that traveling can be a massive pain this time of year. Everyone wants to eliminate as much hassle as possible, while at the same time trying to safely get to their destination as soon as possible. Here are two scenarios that maybe you can relate to when you are traveling home for the holidays.
Scenario #1: It’s Thanksgiving Day. You wake up to the sunrise at 7am, go for your quick pre-Thanksgiving meal run (because you know you are going to help yourself to a second serving of Grandma’s homemade mashed potatoes and gravy), get home to prep yourself and your famous green bean casserole, and casually stroll out the door at 11:45 to meet your family for Thanksgiving dinner just down the road. You arrive with piping hot casserole and enough time to help finish setting the table before everyone arrives at noon. A simple and stress-free morning.
Scenario #2: It’s the day before Thanksgiving. You take a break from your busy workday to check and make sure your flight that you had to book months ago hasn’t been cancelled or delayed for whatever reason. So far so good, but the day is still young. You get home exhausted and just want to have dinner and relax, but remember you haven’t even started packing and your favorite sweater is in the dirty laundry. You stay up until midnight packing and get a solid 4 hours of sleep before you need to wake up and drive to the airport. You board your 6am flight only for takeoff to get delayed by an hour. You make it to your final destination (completely exhausted because you couldn’t sleep through the turbulence) and go to find your ride in the sea of people. You need to bring a dish to pass, so you stop and buy the last package of dinner rolls from the gas station. Everyone has been impatiently waiting for your arrival. You finally sit down and drown the day’s stress in pumpkin pie.
Which scenario would you choose? At Superior Fresh, we believe that being closer to home is the way to go. That’s why we are raising salmon and leafy greens right here in Wisconsin! Over 90% of Atlantic salmon is imported with the majority being flown in from thousands of miles away. Your food shouldn’t have to travel thousands of miles before reaching your table. More miles, means more time in transit, which means product losing its freshness. When buying Superior Fresh products, there’s no need to worry about how many boats or planes your salmon and leafy greens have been on. There’s also no need to worry about any unexpected turbulence. Our salmon and greens are raised in an enclosed ecosystem that eliminates harmful pesticides, heavy metals, and more. We pride ourselves on having trustworthy products with superior freshness for you and your family to enjoy.
Picture the two scenarios again. You can choose between a relaxed morning where you don’t have to worry about how much time has passed that ends in homemade mashed potatoes and green bean casserole, or a rushed morning with unexpected delays, turbulence, and a side of gas station dinner rolls. Which are you choosing?
