KZYX and two area businesses are co-sponsoring the 2012 raffle to raise money for the Mendocino County-based radio station. Harvest Market, with locations in Fort Bragg and Mendocino, and Mariposa
Market in Willits will join KZYX in this year's raffle. The station estimates that the actual odds of winning will be very good, as attractive as 1-in-275 (based on prior raffles.) There will be two grand
prizes of $2000 each and separate drawings (one prize at each market), and only 1,000 tickets printed and made available for sale. Ticket buyers can select which market drawing in which they'd like to participate, and each prize will be awarded as a spending account at the market indicated on the buyer's ticket stub. To enhance their chances of winning, anyone may purchase two or more tickets and enter both of the drawings if they wish, although each ticket is eligible for only one of the prizes. (Complete details can be found in the official rules.) All of the proceeds will benefit KZYX, the community radio station in Mendocino County.
Raffle tickets are $10 each, and are available at Mariposa Market and Harvest Market, and at All That Good Stuff in Boonville, Dig! Music in Ukiah, Four-Eyed Frog Books in Gualala, Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino, Laughing Dog Books in Boonville, Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, Tangents in Fort Bragg, and at the offices of KZYX in Philo. The drawing will be held May 31, 2012.
Mariposa Market, when it opened in 1979, was known as Mariposa Produce and was primarily a "mom & pop" fruit stand featuring local produce! Today they operate out of an 8,000 square foot market at 500 South Main Street in Willits. • Harvest Market, opened in 1985, and now has two locations. Their main store is in the Boatyard Shopping Center in Fort Bragg. In May of 2007 they transformed the 100 year old Mendosa's Market & Hardware into Harvest at Mendosa's.

On the positive side dry weather often results in better crop quality, and we are seeing that phenomenon in our leafy produce, the citrus, and the berries. Strawberries have started off the season at a relatively inexpensive price, with the quality consistent with the latter part of the season. The leafy greens, especially the lettuce, have been of finest quality. And the citrus has improved in flavor as the season moves along. Navel oranges are very sweet at this time of year. Look for potatoes to become pricier as availability decreases. California avocados have finally arrived. The Fuerte crop is limited, but it should be a good year for the Hass variety. We are hoping for a lower price on asparagus as the season progresses. Winter squash is coming from Mexico now, and availability will dwindle considerably over the next months.
Mariposa Market will be gearing up for Easter with a selection of cards, gifts, flowers and flowering plants. The chill department will have some Easter specialties---they’re hoping for leg of lamb, ham, and roasts. Be sure to call a week or two early to order your Easter dinner meat. Talk to Camille Haggin or to Carrie.
KZYX is having their annual raffle for the $2000.00 shopping spree at Mariposa Market and Harvest Market. We talked them into lowering their ticket price to $10.00 each this year in hopes that more people would participate in the raffle. Just think how excited you would be to win a $2000.00 gift certificate to shop at Mariposa! There will be two prizes awarded, one for each store. Tickets can be purchased at any checkstand here; you must let the cashier know which store you wish to have your ticket applied to. You can buy tickets for either prize at this location
