Baby you're a firework!

Baby you're a firework!

Maybe July 4th has you thinking about the Declaration of Independence and its auspicious opening lines: "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...".

No thank you

No thank you

My husband Tim and I have recently had the joy of welcoming two boys into our home with the goal of adoption. It has been a goal for many many years and the waters on this journey have been tumultuous and unsteady. The path to adoption sometimes feels like being in the midst of the ocean with no compass as the clouds stubbornly cover the North Star and to boot, you're out of snacks.

Cookbook Club Redux

Cookbook Club Redux

Good Morning All,

It's been a minute since we talked cookbooks. Over two years, in fact. Let's do a little update to what books I (Joe) keep on sticking my nose into.

STAY OFF MY GRASS

STAY OFF MY GRASS

Before you read that in some crotchety old man voice hollering at the neighborhood kids to stay off his lawn, I'm not talking about that kind of grass.  (or THAT kind either, Joe.)
 
Rest assured I care not at all about my own lawn, that thing is more neglected than Medicare and Medicaid in the current administration and its Big, Beautiful Bill.

The Small Things

The Small Things

Good Morning Friends,
 
Does anyone else feel like life is the opening scene of the Wizard of Oz? We're all being gobbled up by various tornados, waiting for a house to fall on us?
 
Maybe that's too fatalistic for a newsletter about local food but that's the feeling I get. That folks feel like everything is barreling by so damn fast it's hard to take a moment, pump the brakes and realize a flying house isn't actually coming your way.

House Warming at the Farm

House Warming at the Farm

Good morning!

 
Please meet Stacey and Alex, owners of Iron Ox Farm in Hamilton, MA. These wonderful and hard working folks just opened a farm stand on their property. This dream has been a long time coming and the doors have finally swung open! They have their own certified organic produce, fresh milk, cheese, butter and eggs and a variety of grass-fed and pasture raised meats! Oh, and all kinds of yummy local pantry items. If you're in this neck of the woods this weekend check them out and show some local love. They're open Wednesday - Friday 12-6 and Saturday/Sunday 10-4.

Getting spicy!

Getting spicy!

This week Joe and I packed a cooler with beers, seltzers and snacks and hit the road to visit some of our favorite farms and see what they are up to. (Hit the road with us some time! The snacks are good, the beers are great and the company is abjectly just ok.)

Along with some other stops, we hit up Kitchen Garden Farm in Sunderland, MA and got the royal tour of the 50-acre certified organic spread from Lilly Israel. Lilly took ownership of the farm in May 2023 with fellow longtime employee Max Traunstein. (Happy Farmaversary guys!)

Pierogi Party

Pierogi Party

Not to brag, but we're famous. Well technically our friends are famous so I'm gonna call it close enough. Our friends Vanessa and Casey, the founders and owners of Jaju Pierogi are going to be on Shark Tank tonight!  
 
Check them out at 8pm Eastern on ABC as they swim (in the pierogi suit!) with the sharks.
 
Starting a small business is such a grind; on your time, your money and sometimes your sense of worth. The highs and lows can feel like whiplash. To see these women getting national attention for their years of grit and hard work fills our cold dead New England hearts with joy.

Seasonal Goodies

Seasonal Goodies

Good Morning,

Joe here, stepping in for Erin.
 
I'm a tad very enthused that we're FINALLY seeing some seasonal goodies coming around.
 
Foraged fiddleheads from. Sauté and see what the fuss is all about.
 
Chives from Langwater Farm. Ingredient and garnish wunderkind.
 
A spicy mix from Kitchen Garden Farm that is my go-to for most salads, especially the all time best salad: Niçoise.

A great read

A great read

In a torrent of tariffs and other malarkey from the administration, I was keen to understand the potential effects on the food system. From cuts to SNAP to deregulation to rising food prices - it ain't a pretty picture.
 
For a point of reference I turned, as I so often do to Mark Bittman, renowned chef, author and person I would cut off a pinkie to have a beer with. The Bittman Project is an oeuvre of excellence that covers a broad horizon of food related topics.

Sunday Supper

Sunday Supper

Good morning friends, 
 
Easter is right around the corner and Joe put together a delightful little pop up in the store to celebrate. There are fan favorites such as bagels from Mamaleh's, pasture raised lamb from Clark Farm, and this stunning smoked brisket from the Rusty Can. The brisket is a dream, smoked for hours by Sully and his team before being chopped and taking a dip in his house made sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. 
 
Maybe you're asking yourself: is it too early for this near pornographic close up of smoked meats? Absolutely not, and we will not be taking any further questions.
