Spice Up Your Weekly Meals! (+This Week's Meat, Dairy & Veggies)

We all sometimes fall into a culinary rut and while basic recipes can be comforting, they can also become routine and not-so-fun. Fortunately for you, we have just the thing at our farm store to spice up your weekly meals: Pure Indian Foods' delicious spices, all ethically-sourced and organic. Prepare the tangiest homemade mustard with whole yellow mustard seeds, great with our grass-fed beef, or give your favorite pumpkin soup recipe a kick with 100% pure ginger and mace. Sandeep, from Pure Indian Foods, recently visited the gorgeous region of West Bengal, Sikkim and Nepal, where he confirmed once again: "...some things need to be enjoyed where they are from, locally."

Come into our Chesterton farm store and shop for locally-grown produce, sustainable dairy products, grass-fed & pastured meats, spices, and more! You can also order on our website for in-store or curbside pickup.

Friendly reminder: turkey orders are open on a first come, first serve basis! Visit our website to reserve your turkey, meats, and all your favorite sides.
