Holiday Spotlight: Gluten-Free Treats & 'Good News' Tree At Back To Basics

While you're picking up your natural and organic goodies, fill out a "good news" ornament and they will donate $5 to charity.


Everywhere you turn this time of year, there are holiday treats beckoning. It's terrific – except if you're allergic to what's being offered. Back to Basics Natural Foods on Main Street has made life easier in that department, providing tasty gluten-free holiday treats.

They carry gluten-free cheesecakes, pies, even Christmas cookies. They also have organic candy canes. 

And while you're there, they invite you to help decorate their "Good News" Christmas Tree to help spread a little positive feeling. Fill out a good news ornament and place it on the tree. It’s free, it’s inspiring, and Back to Basics will donate $5 for every ornament placed on the tree, split between the Wounded Warrior Project and Vitamin Angels.
