Late Summer Fruits & Veggies, New Herbal Teas & Tinctures, Cold Brew & Chai, Tofu, Meats & More!
What We Have and What’s Expected for the Week of August 19th
Place Your Orders Here!
Alrighty, I must admit that we are starting the week with the produce selection a little slim! But that’s just because we were busy on Saturday and we like to cycle stuff out this time of year especially so you’re getting the freshest fruits and veggies.
We should get some more sugar baby watermelons tomorrow, along with cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peaches, peppers and more. And maybe more muscadine grapes later in the week — the ones we got last week were absolutely delicious!
We are getting better and better at utilizing all the features of Local Line 2.0, so now in addition to the sale items populating in their own category, we also added some tags to new items and staff favorites and those are in their own category at the bottom of the category filter options. Make sure to check those out!
Late last week, we restocked cold brew, chai concentrate and simple syrups from Church Alley as well as ground coffee and coffee beans from Flamjeaux, so there’s plenty of caffeine options!
And in addition to fresh mushrooms from Family Fungi, we got some new herbal tea blends -- a digestive tea and two women's blend teas with raspberry leaf. One is specifically for pregnant women and one is for women's health in general. We also stocked their new Mineral Manna Oxymel with herbs and electrolytes for overall wellness.
Plus there's plenty of eggs (with more sale pullet eggs on their way tomorrow), grassfed and pastured meats, Southern Maids dairy products, biscuits to bake at home, granola, jams and jellies, pickles and ferments, kombucha, rice, grits, fresh pasta, stone-milled flour, coffee, herbal teas, seasonings, salts, honey and maple syrup and more.
Feliciana’s Best will restock us tomorrow by midday or so and that’s when we’ll get more produce, too. Bellegarde will deliver fresh bread and buns on Wednesday and Friday as usual.
I said this last week, but Nur’s Kitchen should be back open with hummus this week for real this time!
And in addition to the meats we have, we will do another freezer restock this week to get more ground beef, pork chops and other fan favorites that are already running out again.
