Having called Saratoga Springs home most of my life, I couldn\u2019t imagine a better community to open their arms and welcome this much-needed, healthy eatery. So, when the opportunity arose in this ideal location, I knew it was the perfect investment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Acres and Caruso said they will work behind the scenes to create innovative and wholesome menu items. The new eatery menu will offer organic products when available, but focus will primarily be on working with local farmers that are using sustainable practices. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both food entrepreneurs said they feel strongly about supporting the local community and getting produce fresh off the farm, not the truck that traveled two weeks to deliver it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the avocado side,the business will offer signature toast creations, including a Mediterranean inspired olive tapenade and pistachio dukkah; poached egg, red pepper with lemon citronette drizzle; burrata with local herbs; kimchi, sesame seed and cilantro; and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Menu options will include locally-sourced bee pollen; Troy-brewed kombucha and cold-brewed Kru coffee for smoothies. There will also be gluten-free, raw and vegan options. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It will be open seven days a week.
