Week of October 28th

We have a few dozen small chicken eggs in stock. When a chicken first starts laying eggs they are quite a bit smaller than a normal size egg. It takes about 2-3 months for the chicken to start laying normal size eggs depending on the breed. A lot of our chickens are just starting to lay so these eggs will be available moving forward. We are back up to 200+ chickens, and with a secure free range atmosphere, these hens are living the high life.
Delicious local granola and cookies are being offered the first week of each month. We are collecting orders today through next week to lock down your supply for the month.
Also make sure to check out all the delicious bread Wendy at Deux Bakery has to offer. I’ve been hooked on their Whole Wheat Sourdough, but I’ve yet to try a loaf I don’t love. Not to mention their scones and muffins. They are up at 2am baking this stuff fresh for us and you can tell when you taste it. If your loaf isn’t sliced it’s because it was too hot out of the oven to do so. You can visit the bakery on Reddick St. or enjoy their baked goods at Scarlett Begonia too.

Parsley Pesto

Ingredients:
2 cups packed fresh parsley (partial stems removed and cleaned)
3/4 cup raw cashews (so much cheaper than pine nuts)
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
1 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
sea salt and pepper to taste
(Recipe adapted from Pure and Simple Nourishment)

Put your pesto over a plate of stir fried veggies, noodles, chicken, fish or just spread it on toast. Parsley is full of antioxidants, is considered anti-inflammatory and can help strengthen your immune system. It will also put a pop of flavor onto anything its covering. So don’t be shy – smoother it on.
