Plants make the best medicine — that’s the philosophy of the Merc’s Wellness team. We believe that healing begins when the mind starts to listen to the body and we want our supplements and our personal care products to be as good for us as the food we eat.

Now that it's May and the weather is great, we're able to bring local cucumbers back to this favorite salad. It's got the same bright flavors you've been enjoying, but thanks to Voigts Farms we're adding even more fresh and crispy late spring cucumbers from Wellsville, Kansas. It's time to get reacquainted with this great salad, it's better than ever!

Enjoy exotic flavors for a spring evening. We’ll start with a salad plate of Carrot Salad with Mint; Roasted Eggplant Salad with Harissa; and Sliced Oranges with Black Olives. Then we’ll bring out loaves of freshly baked Moroccan Anise Bread to dip into Bessara (Berber-style Bean Puree). We’ll cap off the evening with an extravagant dessert of Lemon Couscous Cake served with Medjool Date Ice Cream. All the benefits of travel to an exotic land with none of the hassles.
