Newbies!

Good Morning!

A few things:

We purchased a whole cow from Gabe and Molly at Cold Spring Ranch. These folks are diligently, lovingly, painstakingly raising animals the right way in New Portland, Maine. The cows are 100% grass fed and roam freely on the beautiful property. Check out their IG and get ready to fall in love.

Joe and I were like giddy children working with the product sheet, deciding which cuts to have and what we could offer. Buying the whole animal and supporting this incredible farm is core to what we do, and we're thrilled to have this product to offer you.

This week we have beautiful rib eyes in two sizes to be the darlings of your dinner time. These are very limited in quantity so check 'em out!

As part of whole animal purchasing we also have all kinds of bits and bobs to offer. Make your own bone broth? We have knuckles for you. Wanna crank out your Grampie's liver and onions recipe? We have that. Heart? Tongue? Yes. If you've got a hankering for offal, I'm your girl. Just shoot us an email and we can set you up with the good stuff.

Have a great day!

Some New Spuds

This week we have some new taters for our Massachusetts shares along with a very regal sounding squash.

The potatoes are Russian Banana Fingerling Potatoes (I have not made this up and this email has not been generated by ChatGPT). These spuds have a thin skin (much like a teenager) and a wonderfully flaky buttery inside. They're perfect for a potato salad or simply boiled with loads of butter. The idea of making a nice potato salad has us dreamer of warmer days, grilling and cold beers outside. After all, we're staring daylight saving time in the face this weekend. Get after it.

The squash for the double shares is a Japanese hybrid squash whose name translates to " iron helmet" - which is just awesome. You'll need a good sharp knife but the simplest preparation is to slice in half and bake cut side down. From there you can scoop out the insides and enjoy with just some butter and salt, or get as fancy as. your heart desires. Dying to learn more about this Iron Helmet in your bag? Check this out for more details.

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip for you! (It really, REALLY helps us if you skip BEFORE orders process early Monday morning.)

I'm traveling this week/month/year!

You can take us with you! Get in touch and we'll put together a custom package of goodies to keep you sated while you're enjoying the Cape or Bar Harbor. If you're expecting to be away for several weeks or months we can put your subscription on hold.

I'm allergic and/or hate this item!

Send us an email with your name and we'll make a note to your account to substitute those items when they're a part of your share.

What do I do with these bags/ice packs?

Please leave them outside for our drivers to collect and return to home base. We'll get them cleaned up and back into rotation.

We want YOU... to email us

If something is amiss in your order, or you need to make a special request, we want to know about it. Email us—we love hearing from you and we're happy to help however we can!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Recipes (MA)

Spinach Rice Pie - My momma (hi Sally!) used to make this all the time when I was a kid. It's wonderfully simple but is just so cozy. It holds up for days and is ready for a soft boiled egg on top or to be a side dish for any meal.

Pita Sammies - We love this pita bread. I'm going to slice the tomatoes thinly, slice the mozzarella and tuck them into a pita that's been slightly warmed and coated with olive oil.

Bass with Soy Glaze - Served with rice and wilted spinach. You can add some heat with some sriracha or leave as is. Yum.

Recipes (ME + NH)

Bangers and Mashed Rutabaga with Onion Gravy - St. Paddy's day is upon us! If you feel like playing along at home, we've got you covered with some delicious Irish bangers from Colvard & Co. and plenty of options for your mash. (In fact, I'd toss in a couple apples in this recipe's rutabaga mash.)

Salmon in Foil - Great method for cooking fish. It's gentle and there's no worrying about tearing the lovely fillet while trying to turn. That said, would absolutely prepare thusly, instead:

Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon, Cucumber, and Avocado Rice Bowls - Or, if you'd prefer a different glaze, try this miso version.

Creamy Beans With Ham - Perfect for the upcoming mud season. The Great Northern Beans from Fairwinds are perfectly suited for this or, if you wanna kick it old school New England, some baked beans (and you'd be wise to throw the bangers in there, too).

Blueberry Breakfast Cake - Got breakfast on the brain? Same. This'll get the job done.

Sauteed Mizuna with Garlic and Fish Sauce - I'm excited to check out the mizuna from Dandelion Spring. This recipe would be great in your salmon bowl or alongside just about any protein.
