Happy Memorial Day!

Sunny, warm temperatures, blue skies: the weather forecast for the upcoming holiday weekend looks amazing! We hope that you are able to soak up the sun rays and enjoy the day. Our office will also be observing the holiday on Monday, so please note the following changes to the schedule below. 

  • * MEMORIAL DAY CHANGES*: For deliveries next week, you will receive your customization email on Friday, May 26th and will have until the following Monday (5/29) at midnight to customize your share. During the holiday week, you may see some substitutions in your FarmShare since the amounts of crops available will be estimated on Friday and might be off a bit by the harvest on Tuesday. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding!

New Items!
  • Dosa Batter from Dosa Kitchen- Dosa Kitchen is a food truck in Brattleboro, VT that makes South Indian soul food with global roots and local love. Try their amazing dosa batter: a ready-to-pour pancake, waffle, and crepe batter, made from stone-ground and fermented rice and lentils, which give it its unique sour flavor and airy crisp texture. Dosa batter is naturally gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan.
  • Freeze-dried peaches from Wellness Croft- Wellness Croft is a company that provides sustainable, local, freeze-dried provisions!  These peaches are All Natural, Gluten Free, Small Batch, and Eco Peach™ Certified, and are processed in a private facility free of common allergens (wheat, meat, dairy, nuts, eggs). Each pouch is the equivalent of 10-11 ounces of fresh peach…that’s almost 3/4 of a pound! And buying this product helps to support regional growers from the NE area.
Limited Edition! 
  • Cornmeal from Tuckaway Farm– Tuckaway Farm is “tucked away” along the Oyster River in Lee, NH, just 2 miles from the University of New Hampshire. Their specialty product is roasted heritage variety cornmeal and they are founding members of the NH Grain Collaborative, which aims to revitalize the connections between NH grain growers, millers, bakers, brewers, tortilla makers, and home purchasers.
