News Highlights
A&A Alta Cucina on the market this week! Order their award winning, local, small batch tomato sauces, balsamic vinegars, pestos, infused olive oils, holiday gift baskets, and more this week. We only order from them monthly so please keep this in mind when ordering. Items will be delivered for this week's pick up.
Carrell Farms Order this weekend! Carrell Farms delicious and healthy pasture raised Buffalo and Alpaca are back on the market this week. Lamb is sold out and won't be available again until end of January. They are on the market every other week. Items will be delivered for this week's pick up.
Fry Farm is a very concerned about the weather this weekend so they decided to take their items off the market temporarily. Last winter they continued to grow and overwinter much of their crops. Since we had a mild winter last year, it never got warm enough to kill off all the pests. Now they are struggling to control them. Since they are Certified Naturally Grown, they of course do not spray pesticides. Their solution is to pull up everything and not grow much again until Spring. We may see a few items occasionally but they wanted you all to be aware if you don't see them on the market for awhile.
Gibson Farm is back on the market after a couple of weeks break. They have collards, kale, variety of pepper jellies, and gluten free pumpkin pie.
My Daily Bread is now offering Organic Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Muffins and Case (12) festive fabric topped Jams/Jellies for Gift Giving for $60 ($12 savings)
Group Buy - Grass Fed Cheese will be available for pick up this week!
Unrefined Sea Salt I have a few extra listed on the market if you missed the group buy.
Leilani's Garden will continue to have peppers and tomatoes since they have cold frames set up. They also have spinach and kale in the fields.
HOLIDAY SCHEDULE - No pick up on 12/28 or 1/4 only. These are traditionally slow weeks and I thought it would be a good time to take a break. There are 3 more buying weeks so feel free to stock up over that time period if you need to. I have asked Fresh Harvest to offer home delivery those 2 weeks as well.
Sam will offer a milk drop for anyone who needs raw jersey cow milk those weeks. More details to come.
