Egg Shares–Limited Quantity Available

We have a limited number of weekly or biweekly egg shares available from Tello’s Green Farm, located in Red Hook, NY. Tello’s is a certified naturally grown farm dedicated to providing you with rich eggs from healthy, happy chickens. Originally a Veterinarian in his home country of Columbia, Nestor Tello gives his hens a natural diet, plenty of space to roam and peck and never uses any chemicals or antibiotics. You can see and taste the difference.

Read interviews with Tello here, and here.

Signups are open now and will close when we reach the capped number of shares. Sign up today!

Enlightenment Wines–Unique and Exceptional

We’re so excited to be able to offer all of you shares in Enlightenment Wines. Once a month, you’ll pick up a bottle or two of specialty wine and mead. Enlightenment Wines is currently bottling some amazing stuff, including the brand new “Floralia,” a wildflower honey mead infused with lavender, juniper and marjoram. It’s absolutely beautiful to taste and to look at.

Lewis Waite–New Products, Sale Items & Order Deadlines

Planning your menu for Passover or Easter? Check out Lewis Waite’s myriad offerings to make your holiday–or everyday–table one to remember. Place your order by April 3 for pick up on Thursday, April 8.

Pork kielbasa is back in stock, and perhaps it brings with it better weather for grilling!

Strafford Organic Creamery has new flavors of ice cream in stock. In addition to vanilla, chocolate and coffee, they now have sweet guernsey cream, ginger, wintermint, coconut almond and strawberry.

Yoder Farm is offering another flavor of apple sauce and ‘live’ apple cider vinegar for sipping. (Did you know America’s Test Kitchen just put out a gluten-free cookbook? I bring it up mainly because the first recipe I tried was an applesauce cake that had all my gluten-loving friends licking the crumbs off their plates. I bet it would be even better with higher quality applesauce than the supermarket brand I used.)

On sale: horseradish chevre and maple walnut chevre from Nettle Meadow Dairy, which would taste delicious tossed with some roasted beets (if you have any leftover from the last share box of the season). And jazz up your scrambled eggs or nachos with lacto-fermented hot sauce from Hawthorne Valley Farm–you can feel the burn and heal your gut at the same time.

The Shepherd Herb Spice Blend from Teeny Tiny Spice Co. is also on sale this month and it would really pair well with lamb. I also love it in this recipe for grain-free salmon cakes. I use about a tablespoon. I also use leeks instead of chives, because they get nice and crispy while frying. These salmon cakes are good hot and even better cold, for easy lunch leftovers that travel well.

Special Products Shares Announced!

We have added a whole bunch of new special products for the 2014 season! I’m talking kombucha, fermented foods, wine, and eggs–plus, we’re bringing back the ever popular dairy, fish, beer, and herb shares.

In addition, Lewis Waite Farms has created share plans for all kinds of different products, including bread, organ meats, cheese, meat, and more. You can always order a la carte from Lewis Waite, but if you’d like them to do the work for you, sign up for a share plan.

All of the details and a link to the sign up form can be found on our new Special Products page. You may never need to go to the grocery store again!

Subsidized Shares–Apply Now!

We are currently accepting applications for our 2014 Summer Vegetable Shares.

The subsidized share program is a way to make fresh, organic, local produce available to those with limited incomes. Every year, we sell 15 vegetable shares at half price to those who qualify. Anyone can apply for a subsidized share; all applications are then reviewed anonymously by our board, which will award the 15 shares to the most qualified applicants. The enrollment period typically runs from January through March; the vegetable share itself runs June through November (one box each week for 26 weeks.)

Winter Sun–Sale on Tomato Puree and Frozen Blueberries

Winter Sun is also having a sale on blueberries and tomato puree. Blueberries are 10 bags for $30 and tomato puree is 12 jars for $45 or 4 jars for $16. Orders must be placed through the web store by the evening of Monday, March 10th.

HOW TO ORDER FROM WINTER SUN: VEGETABLES, MEATS, EGGS

We have five Thursday, 5-8pm pick up dates this winter (not to be confused with the Tuesday Lewis Waite Farm pickups!) They are: December 19, January 9, January 30, February 20, March 13.

You can now order a la carte items to be picked up on any of these dates. Setting up your account is a little confusing, so follow these steps and you’ll be fine:

1- Go here:
http://csa.farmigo.com/join/wintersunfarms/winter2013-2014

2- Scroll down and select Sunnyside as your location.

3- Hit NEXT

4- Add the GUEST WEBSTORE ACCESS option (it’s the only thing you can add) and hit NEXT

5- Choose what payment plan you want (in full, or in two payments) and hit NEXT.

6- Create or login to your account. Please note: WInter Sun Farms uses a site called Farmigo to run their store. Farmigo happens to be what Village Fishmonger uses for the fish share, too. If you already have a Farmigo account (either through the fish share or some other place) you don’t need to create a new account, just log in- however, you can’t access your Village Fishmonger account through your Winter Suns account or vice versa. So you have one master Farmigo account, but you log into different food vendors separately. Makes sense?
