Don’t Miss Out: Our Lard Is Back! 🎊

We are so excited to announce that we have our very own lard back on the shelves! 🎉 Made with love in-house by Chef Joanna, in collaboration with Joe's Bread, using high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients straight from our farm – you don’t want to miss out on this! Lard is such a versatile and essential product to have in your home.

We love to use it as a cooking fat for sautéing, frying, baking, and even seasoning or maintaining cast iron pans. 🥘 Come on in and grab some while it’s fresh!

Produce

This week’s local, fresh harvest includes:

  • Kale—limited supply

  • Mixed Greens—limited supply

  • Mushrooms—Fresh Chef Sampler (Brown and Alba Clamshells and Maitake) and dried options available!

As always, our produce is GMO-free and grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides — and we make sure it stays that way, even for crops that are tricky to grow naturally!

Dairy & Eggs

This week’s options include:

  • Grass-fed, organic, non-homogenized, low heat pasteurized milk (A1 / A2 option this week), butter, cheese  (cottage cheese, GGC sharp cheddar, Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano), buttermilk, French dip, kefir (plain or vanilla this week), whipping cream, and yogurt (plain and honey this week). Please plan ahead and let us know 2-3 weeks in advance for cream and all dairy (if you can), it helps. Thank you to all those who are working hard to help us make that happen.

  • Chicken eggs this week! Our eggs are hand harvested and cleaned. Our chickens are raised on not simply organic but also a soy free grain mix along with their free range diet. There really is nothing like the consistency and flavor of these delectable treats from heritage breeds . . . we bring out the connoisseurs! No DUCK EGGS at this time; we will post here when they return! :)
