Product Updates:

3 Corner Field Farm: Karen has had time to make and age some Shushan Snow mini-wheels after pausing for lambing season. Shushan Snow is her semi-soft mold ripened cheese, like Brie, made exclusively with her grass-fed sheep’s milk, and is an office favorite.

Argyllshire Farm: Barbara has dropped off some more of her grass fed lamb. Look for cuts on special as we help Barbara clean out her freezer. Just in time for grilling season. Try this recipe for grilled lamb loin chops with cucumbers and mint.

Beth’s Farm Kitchen: Just in time for cookout season, we’re getting in Beth’s Barbeque Sauce! We also have the mustards, made with Cayuga Pure Organics mustard seeds, on special this month. Hudson Valley Ketchup completes your sauce needs for a great cookout.

Fior D’Italia: The raviolis, pastas and sauces have been a big hit! Vic is so pleased with the good reception, and says thanks! We just got in more frozen entrees for those nights you just don’t want to cook.

Grazin’ Acres Farm: Nathan and Meghan just received more of their Heritage breed pork back from the processors. New cuts including no nitrite hot dogs and no nitrite kielbasa are now available. They are also busy raising new chicks for the summer, so we are clearing out the freezer with a special on their non-GMO, pasture raised, Heritage chickens.

Harry’s Honey House:* Derek is out of the 2 lb jars of Raw Honey – what we have now is it until fall, but we should have plenty of 1 lb jars to last until the harvest. Raw honey is very lightly filtered, just enough to remove big chunks. It contains bits of pollen and propolis, and is a natural source of minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium as well as vitamin B complex. *not available to Stoneledge CSAs – please source your honey, syrup, and coffee through their Marketplace.

Iceberg Farm: We just picked up some Pork Garlic and Parmesan sausage and some Lamb with Red Wine and Feta sausage. Delicious sausage links for the grill go great with your veggie salad from your CSA share.

Lucy Jo’s: has two new flavors: organic Kick Pow Punch and organic Bolivia. The Kick Pow Punch is a low acid Sumatra flavor that has been well received by the office staff. The Bolivia is a medium roast that has a pleasant sweet taste and nutty roast notes with milk chocolate undertone and mild lemongrass finish. *not available to Stoneledge CSAs – please source your honey, syrup, and coffee through their Marketplace.

Kimball Brook Organic Dairy: A few CSAs asked us to offer a Milk Share this season. We have to order in set case amounts, so any items that are not going to a share will be made available to a la carte orders. First come, first served! (Please only order for your next delivery and not in future dates.)

Kriemhild Dairy: Bruce just dropped us of another load of Meadow Butter – the 1 lb rolls now come in salted or unsalted, no plastic tub to recycle.

Maplebrook Farm: produces Mozzarella Cheese in the mountains of Bennington, Vermont. We are offering the 8 oz.; shrink wrapped Fresh and Cherry Smoked this month. We hope this can be a regular offering, so let us know how you like it!

Stonewood Farm: Peter let us know that he is out of dark ground turkey until after Thanksgiving – sorry folks! We should have plenty of half light, half dark meat, and all white breast meat. We’re also getting in more lean turkey breast cutlets, great for a quick dinner.

West River Creamery: The crew is introducing a Steel Wheel Tomme. This cheese is a tome style natural rind sheep’s milk cheese. The texture is smooth with a light and mildly sweet taste. If you prefer cow milk cheese, West River also has a cow milk tomme; Middletown Tomme. The Middletown is a favorite in the office.

Yoder Farm: Ryan is out of all beans except for Black Beans until the fall – grab your heritage beans while they last, we are really running low.

Order raw milk cheese by tonight and everything else by Monday 6/1. You’ll find everything you need on the Lewis Waite website.

What does Lewis Waite Farm CSA Extras do?

Lewis Waite Farm CSA Extras program strives to connect small farms and consumers within our region. We offer a single platform for you to gain access to a wide variety of farm fresh, all natural, artisan, and organic products. Between our Extras service and your CSA share, you can eliminate (at least greatly reduce!) your trips to the grocery store.

We partner with small, family run operations. We believe in getting as close to the source as we can, so we know what we, and therefore you, are getting. If you have questions, we can ask the person who grew or made your food. You can read from the full list of farms and producers about their farms or operations on our website, or simply email or call us and we will find the answer for you. Our producers take great pride in their products, and we take pride in offering them to you.

We can offer you pasture raised meat and poultry (10 kinds of meat), fresh eggs and bread, grass fed butter, yogurt and ice cream, artisan cheese from sheep, goat or cows’ milk, including aged raw milk cheeses. We offer many pantry staples, too, all local and naturally made. Granola, fresh ground organic flour, dried organic beans and grains, natural jams and chutneys, natural sweeteners, lacto fermented foods, apple cider vinegar, and more. You can see a complete list on our website.

You pay as you go, and order only what you want. You will need to create a personal profile for our website, before you can order, to tag you as a member of an approved group. Just go to our site and request a link for your CSA, or see our latest newsletter. If you can’t make up your mind from our extensive offerings, we offer sampler “Share” packages that blend many of these products.
