New This Week:
Janina of Little Isobel will be dropping off her first batch of fruit preserves and herb jellies on Tuesday. These unique delights are made by hand with fresh herbs from Overbrook Herb Farm and local fruit in-season. Try her fabulous ROSEMARY ROSÉ and BAY LAUREL AND PLUM WINE jellies with sweet or savory dishes, or brighten up your breakfast with some PEACH PRESERVE WITH KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON.

More tiny spring vegetables are arriving from Green Meadow Farm this week! Small amounts of BABY NEW POTATOES, MIXED BABY BEETS, BABY FRENCH BREAKFAST RADISHES, BABY FENNEL, and the first crop of outdoor-grown SAVOY SPINACH are expected to arrive by Thursday afternoon.

BISON DELMONICO STEAKS and BISON SIRLOIN TIP ROAST from grass-fed and organically-raised bison will be delivered by Lancaster Farm Fresh on Friday afternoon. A new way to enjoy this incredibly healthy and sustainable meat!
