Eat gourmet while on a budget with fresh shiitake mushrooms
Did you know, we are a store where you can both splurge & save? Eat gourmet while on a budget! This week, we have fresh shiitake mushrooms from our local, certified mushroom grower and hunter, Jerry!
Come by for a nice bundle of these versatile mushrooms to use in a variety of recipes. From a delicious Cream of Mushroom soup [see Chef John’s Creamy Mushroom Soup for ideas on how to make it] or risotto dish, you can find all the ingredients you need right here in our store. We have pasture-raised chicken backs, necks, or feet for a savory stock, onions, garlic, thyme, grass-fed butter and whipping cream, and even risotto in our dry-goods section. These mushrooms also work well on the side with our pasture-raised chicken wings and leg quarters on the grill!
We look forward to seeing you at Acorn Acres Farm this week. We're open:
Wednesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays: 10am - 5pm
Saturdays: 10am - 4pm
