Well it's likely the last batch of Tomatillo Salsa

Well it's likely the last batch of Tomatillo Salsa of the season. We spooned this thick, zesty salsa over grilled hot dogs last week and it was fantastic! 🔥🌭
.
I love finding new uses for this sauce. Try it on eggs, fish, roasted squash or try it mixed in to rice. We also really enjoy this flavourful salsa with salted corn chips. There's a bit of heat from the jalapeños being extra spicy this season.
.
Beautiful tomatillos and jalapeños from @justfarmsveg 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 Thank you!

Packing and pickling beets to satisfy the seasonal demand for these classic sweet and tangy pickles. A jar of these on the table with your fall roasts and stews is just the thing. Pickles Beets are my *pumpkin spice* and it just isn't fall without them.

Pickled Beets are still our best-selling product and are available at many of our local retailers including @breadbyus

I'm going to miss fall market days when they're go

I'm going to miss fall market days when they're gone. I mean, come on. We have such amazing variety and quality in our local diets in the fall, it's really phenomenal. 🧑‍🌾🍓👏🏼
.
Snapped this at Orleans Farmers Market on Thursday and life has been moving fast. We have our work cut out for us trying to get as much "put up" as we can while the local harvest is abundant!
.
I hope you're enjoying the seasonal changes, whatever it means for you.

Classic comfort. Juicy, ripe strawberries and tart rhubarb. Strawberry Rhubarb Jam.
.
This was a fun project to mix into our usual veg-prep-filled days.
.
Hulling fragrant strawberries really draws you in and it was a pleasure to make and cook this jam.
.
I think it deserves a nice piece of sourdough toast. How would you enjoy it?

We got our paws on some tomatillos from @justfarmsveg which are THE best around, imo. After husking and charcoal grilling them, we simmer the blackened tomatillos with jalapenos, garlic, onions and cider vinegar. We finish it with a healthy dose of cilantro and blitz it up into a smooth sauce. Voilà!
.
Restocked online. We now have an option on the website for buying full cases at a 10% discount. Place 12 of the same item in your cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.
