A Tangy Late-Summer Caprese

New farm store item: Small Acres grass-fed A2-protein mozzarella cheese! We know just how we'll enjoy this latest treat — paired with fresh-off-the-vine heirloom tomatoes, farm-harvested basil, and drizzled with some of our local balsamic vinegar for a tangy summer caprese. Serve on top of toasted Joe's Bread for best results. ;)

We don't know how long these amazing heirloom tomatoes will stay in season so enjoy them while they're here! We also have plenty of pine nuts for those who would prefer to make pesto out of the fresh basil.
