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

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!

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!)
