New products alert 🍲 grass-fed broth & lard made in-house!

We are so excited to announce two new products! 🎉 Our very own Grass-Fed Bone Broth and Lard are finally here!! These are made with love in-house by Chef Joanna in collaboration with Joe's Bread using high quality, nutrient-dense ingredients straight from our farm. These are such versatile and staple products to have in your home!

We love our broth for sipping & making soups, and our lard is a great cooking fat that can be used for sauteing, frying, baking, and even seasoning or maintaining cast iron pans. 🥘 Come on in and grab some while they’re fresh, we can’t wait to see you!
