Place Your Orders Here!
Fall just keeps getting better in our market!
Louisiana satsumas grown in the rich alluvial soils along the river in Belle Chasse are back in inventory for the first time in a few years and we're very excited about it!
There have been litany of challenges for Louisiana citrus growers with saltwater flooding from Hurricane Ida, freezes and snow zapping young trees and a greening disease decimating other trees.
So it feels kind of like a miracle to bite in one this year and we’re very grateful to Ben Becnel and co. for hooking us up with their precious harvest.
We've had to source from further afield (Alabama and Georgia) the last few years and these just hit different! Get them loose by the pound or in three pound mesh bags.
We also continue to fill out our dairy offerings, adding back cheesecakes, butter and creole cream cheese from Mauthe's Progress Milk Barn. We sold out of butter and cheesecakes last week, but expect more in on Tuesday.
Southern Maids may have the first batch of eggnog of the season ready in time for our delivery on Wednesday and if not, we’ll restock it next week through the end of the year!
And Berry Hill Farm adds new Greek yogurt flavors all the time and are trying to keep up with demand for their delicious cheeses. We also expect our usual milk, cream, half & half and chocolate milk from Feliciana’s Best Creamery on Tuesday, too.
Turkey pre order pick ups begin this week (you can still order here for next week!), so we’re not totally sure what proteins we’ll be able to restock this week as we balance freezer space. We do have a good supply of ground buffalo, ground beef and limited cuts of beef, plenty of chicken, pork and goat meat and very limited seafood in the meantime.
Bellegarde’s slicer is back up and running, so we should restock crostini this week after they had last week to catch up. We’re also carrying their sliced brioche loaves now, with some available frozen and more fresh coming on Wednesday and Friday.
And we restocked apple cider, hummus, mushrooms, salad greens, cooking greens (gorgeous mustard and purple pac choi), zucchini and lots more late last week and expect more bok choy, herbs and scallions, squash and sweet potatoes, green beans, fairy tale eggplant, and more on its way this week!
And there's still lots of kombucha, sereniTEA, veggie ferments, jams and jellies, stone-milled flour, rice and grits, glazed pecans, coffee, teas, tinctures, honey, maple syrup and lots more — still more than 500 local and regional products in all!
