Turkeys are getting nervous because it’s almost that time of the year! Make sure to get your order in in the next few weeks by noting approximate weights preferred along with a tentative pick-up date on your pre-order form. We'll have very limited quantities of pastured turkey, and plenty of other seasonal goods like pumpkins (and yes, Joe's pies this year!) as well as many winter squash varieties, potatoes, organic cranberry preserve (delicious with turkey!), sweet potatoes, sweet onions, and more!

We'll also have a select supply of beef prime steaks and roasts (including prime rib!), lamb roasts and chops, pork chops and sausage, smoked ham, specialty bacon, and whole chickens or cut-ups. Check our website for our weekly harvests, dairy, eggs, and meat availability, or come into the store to see our seasonal selection.

We're open:
• Wed 10am - 5pm
• Thu 10am - 5pm
• Fri 10am - 5:30pm
• Sat 10am - 4:30pm

Along with our normal store days/hours, we will also be open 11/20, 11/21, and 11/22 from 10 to 6P.

Produce

Portions of our gardens are slowly transitioning as the cooler climate sets in. What does this mean for all who enjoy fresh produce boxes weekly? It means that we are quickly covering the gardens to ensure our season lasts longer and to trap as much of that gorgeous sunlight in our grateful plants. It also means we've been planting cold tolerant seedlings, right in our rich soil. That soil has been waiting to welcome these new babies with abundant nutrients—generously feeding all of us. This week’s fresh harvest includes: 

• Arugula

• Beets

• Blueberries (frozen)

• Cabbage

• Carrots

• Cauliflower

• Cherry Tomatoes —this is likely our last week of the season!

• Daikon Radish—one will serve a family of 3, unique and flavorful! 

• Eggplant—many varieties (including those with few seeds)!

• Garlic—we've been juggling between our own gardens and multiple organic, local, small farmers to ensure we still have more bulbs throughout the season . . . it isn't easy because the seeds are extremely expensive, have you looked at heirloom and organic seed catalogs? Starting with organic seeds, one could spend upwards of $30/lb for these special gems. So, we hope you enjoy them at the much lower price we are offering them to you!

• Green or Red Bell Peppers and other Sweet Peppers (Banana, Yummy, etc.) — get them while you can!!

• Green Beans (bush, filet, and vine varieties of multiple colors and flavors)--enjoy that crisp, extraordinary snap with the refreshing explosion of flavors for just a bit longer, as we continue to harvest!

• Heirloom Tomatoes—Many colors and varieties (including cherry)! Yes, we have a few left, despite the shifting weather!

• Herbs—Fresh chives, dill, lavender, mint, oregano, parsley, sage, thyme, and some surprises!! Many dried options! 

• Hot Pepper Varieties (some that will ignite the pallet of even the most tolerant)!—chili, datil, jalapeño, poblano, serrano, shishito, sugar rush, Thai, and additional chili varieties (fading with the cold so get them while you can and dry them at home for your winter dishes)!

• Kale (curly)

• Leeks—Enjoy them in your favorite soup stocks or just enjoy them!

• Lettuce (whole heads and some mixed)

• Mixed Greens—a fascinating and exotic salad mix for the adventure in you! We've been adding fresh herbs to the concoction for a little excitement!

Meat Availability

This week’s options (while supplies last) include:

• Beef Prime Steaks: Filets, NY Strips, Ribeyes and Sirloin Steaks! Denver Steaks as well this week! If you haven't tried them, you will want to! They're also known as "chuck under blade steak" or "boneless cut short rib steak" and are not quite as expensive as the other prime steaks. Compared with other muscles, this one doesn't get much action, which gives the cut extra tenderness and has been ranked as one of the tenderest with plenty of great, deep beefy flavor. It takes a strong hand and an experienced butcher to offer this steak. But the extra effort is worth it!

• Beef Savory Roasts, Steaks & Ribs: Chuck, Chuck Arm, Rump / Round, Sirloin Tip Roasts and Cubed, Flat Iron, and Mock Tenderloin steaks as well as our favorite Short Ribs (get the box with 2 pkgs for 15% off)!

We're also carrying The Brooklyn Hot Dog Company dogs: All Beef or Beef & Pork! Buy two and get 15% off, while supplies last (see our box specials including a 15% break on condiments and brioche buns)!

• Beef Stew & Organ Meat Options: Soup Bones, Stew and Organ Meats, including liver, heart, kidney, and more! Respect the whole animal and enjoy the health benefits! Ask our team what makes the organ meats so special!

• Chicken (frozen): Whole and Cut-ups (breasts—currently boneless/skinless only, thighs—boneless/skinless or bone-in options, drumsticks, leg quarters, and wings—a 15% discount if you buy 2 pkgs wings!!), Ground Chicken, Soup Bones (necks and backs—2 for the price of 1 while supplies last) and Organ Meats. Also, if you haven't tried our yummy, Mild Chicken Italian Sausage, you're missing out!!

•  Turkey: Turkey Breasts (bone in), while supplies last! Whole turkeys, for the season, are available through our pre-order form. We are still negotiating the butcher fee; therefore, prices are not yet available.
