Pork chops, frozen green beans, frozen strawberries, oats, and more
This week we continue to dive into our frozen stash. The jewel this week is frozen strawberries from Maurer's Fruit Farm. These will pair very nicely in a smoothie with some delicious Velvet View Yogurt or as a sauce to drizzle over pork chops, or even ice cream!
The pork chops are our signature boneless, thick cut Berkshire chops. For those of you who like to stock up on them, we'll have

Week 20 Summer CSA Package
Pepper Havarti, Apple Cider, Apples, Black Beans and more
This week I'm very excited to have apple cider. My cider guy, Gary, was thinking this would be the first year ever that he didn't have cider by Halloween. He made some calls, scraped up enough apples, and we'll have cider.
You are probably wondering why cider is tight this year? It starts with the fact that the apple crop is horrible. The fruit that survived is delicious. The hot, dry weather concentrated

Week 12 Summer CSA Package
Fresh harvest of oats, red russian kale, melons, blackberries, bratwursts, and more
What was available this week changed about 10 times! The cool weather has slowed quite a few things down (thankfully) and I've had to adjust this week's bag a little.
Anyhow, I just got back from a few of the farms. The kale is looking really nice this week. It has a few holes in it from some hale that showed up this past Sunday in Homerville, but other than

Week 9 Summer CSA Package
This week is probably my favorite week so far this summer. One of my favorite dishes is ratatouille, a provincial french dish/peasant food of stewed tomatoes and vegetables. There are many variations of ratatouille and many "tips and tricks" along the way. I'll share mine in this week's newsletter.
The centerpiece of this week's package are the ratatouille ingredients - garlic, eggplant, onions, zucchini/squash, and tomatoes. In addition to those items, we have a few more healthy produce items, which may also be

Week 2 CSA
I hope everyone enjoyed their week 1 bag. We had a lot of fun on deliveries last week. Everything went extremely well.
This week I'm quite excited for a few things. First, we have a great combination of unique products that both tell a story and taste excellent. The center piece, in my opinion, of this week's bag is a 2# bag of organic, black turtle beans. These come from a little bit further away than we like to get things

Week 2 Winter CSA Package
Whole chicken, Chorizo, Sweet Potatoes, Lettuce and more
It's time for our second winter CSA package. It IS this week. The schedule is a little goofy at first to get us on schedule for the holidays. We have a pickup this week, then off next week, then special delivery times the week of Thanksgiving (we'll send plenty of reminders/alerts next week).
So for this week, we have a very plump bag. We have a whole pasture raised chicken, spicy chorizo sausage made

Winter CSA Week 1
For the first week of the winter CSA package we have have truly a showcase product - a beautiful, well marbled Berkshire Boston Butt Roast (bone-in, shoulder roast). This tasty roast is between 5 and 6 lbs and great for shredded pork, a crock pot meal, to use in the smoker, or even to make sausage. You'll be eating off of this for a week!
This week we are also very lucky to have some nice produce yet. We'll have large
