Satsumas Are Here! Plus Fresh Stone-Milled Flour, New Hot Sauces, Meats & Seafood, Tofu, Hummus & More!
What We Have and What’s Expected for the Week of October 28th
Place Your Orders Here!
We did not have Eras Tour tickets or anything to join in on the Taylor Swift theme last week, so we’re just enjoying life’s simpler pleasures, like first of the season satsumas that starting coming in last week!
We have TONS from a backyard grower in Covington. Since we are his only outlet, we may roll out some bulk deals this week to keep them moving. They last a good while when they’re picked in this state, but at a certain point, space is an issue.
We also similarly have tons of mirlitons from a neighbor and more where that came from. These also last a good while and can also be sprouted and planted. A lot of people think of mirlitons mostly as a Thanksgiving side dish, but they are delightful prepped in numerous ways. I especially love them with shrimp, but have also made beef and pork “stuffed pepper” type dishes with them and used them in soups, curries and more.
In the produce realm, we got in beautiful purple daikon and watermelon radishes, cubanelle and habanada sweet peppers plus plenty of salad greens and microgreens, squashes, fresh and dried mushrooms, apples, persimmons and more.
We’re expecting another round of heirloom and cherry tomatoes, plus head lettuces, kale, collards, Swiss chard, purple Napa cabbage, the first carrots of the season, kohlrabi, more summer squash and more on Wednesday.
We also got in more Barton Springs Mill freshly stone-milled flour in last week and because we're getting it directly now versus through a distributor, we were able to lower the price a little on the All Purpose flour and Hopi Blue cornmeal.
There's also some new delicious hot sauces from Resurrection Gardens, in three flavors.
As I mentioned last week, we've definitely reached the point of the season where egg production is dropping a little and demand is way up, so we got in some eggs from Pearl River Pastures to keep up and should be able to get more later this week to supplement our eggs.
Finally, we also have a good amount of chicken, Gulf seafood (though low on shrimp, more should be coming this week), pastured pork and grass-finished beef (restocked more ground beef, bacon and other fan favorites late last week), tofu, hummus, preserves, pickles, coffee, herbal teas and tinctures, honey and maple syrup, rice and grits and lots more!
