Need 2 Eat? Go On and Have It!

I guess I saw my first Apple Cabin Foods ad ten years or so ago; now there are numerous Tumblr pages that feature Apple Cabin Foods. There's even this (probably apocryphal) account I've seen on several sites:

In 1816, illiterate Finnish explorer Alpert Redford Walker stumbled upon a small, unmanned grocery store hidden in a clearing deep within the forests of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pleased by the bins full of exotic fruits and fresh vegetables and impressed by the shelves well stocked with reasonably priced snacks, Walker learned that this remarkable little store was called “oha paddaki'e,” or “Apple Cabin,” by the local Paiute tribe, who nevertheless denied any knowledge of the store’s origin. Feeling that Divine Providence had guided him to the market, Walker donned one of the aprons that hung waiting in the employee break room and thereby assumed ownership, ensuring Apple Cabin’s tradition of savings + quality would remain strong to this day.

There is now an Apple Cabin Foods 2016 calendar, the proceeds of which will benefit Reading Frenzy, a Portland, OR comics/zines/indy bookstore. Go on and get it!

I just got the Apple Cabin calendar! Apple Cabin is a product of Sean Tejarachi, who does stunningly good fakes of all sorts of things, some offensive or sexual, so search carefully. Last year's calendar was "Social Justice Kittens" XD.

"Shrimp Quarantines" is just plausible and catchy enough!
