Place Your Orders Here!
We have so much to highlight in our market heading into the week, it's hard to know where to start.
First, we finally got in some beautiful citrus last week and there’s more where that came from when we run out this week.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to source any Louisiana citrus this season because of widespread citrus greening and citrus canker issues affecting entire orchards, especially in Plaquemines Parish.
So we have red grapefruit and Cara Cara red navel oranges from a farm in Georgia. The satsumas we got in last week already sold out, so we got in large Sumo mandarins in their place. We should also be able to get Alabama satsumas in on Tuesday.
The other highlight of the produce category right now might be all of our leafy greens, including heads of gorgeous frisée, radicchio and two types of head lettuce. There's also bagged salad greens from Homegrown in Folsom and Compostella Farm, plus collards, mustard greens and caraflex cabbage and more baby kale bags and curly kale bunches from River Queen is coming on Tuesday evening.
There's tons of mushrooms and herbs, plus gold or purple cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, radishes and beets, squashes, sweet potatoes and apples.
We also restocked beef from Little Creek last week and Gulf shrimp and fish from Anna Marie Seafood.
So there’s plenty of ground beef, various roasts and limited steaks, plus all three sizes of shrimp, red snapper filets (which have been harder to come by), along with red grouper filets, yellowfin tuna filets, sheepshead, snapper and grouper collars, smoked fish portions, soft-shell crabs and alligator strips.
Our pastured pork and chicken and wild-foraged goat categories are still well stocked and so is Tien Dat tofu, so with the beef and seafood restocks, we have tons of protein options.
We also have plenty of mixed size eggs from Local Cooling Farms, plus a sale on small pullet eggs from our new flock and a few half dozens of duck eggs from Compostella plus dozens of duck eggs from our own flock at Local Cooling Farms that just started laying.
There’s more eggnog coming from both Feliciana’s Best and Southern Maids on Tuesday and Wednesday, but unfortunately there won’t be heavy cream or half & half this week because Feliciana’s Best had a problem with their equipment.
Fresh bread and buns will be delivered on Wednesday and Friday and fresh pasta on Tuesday. In the meantime, we have a few shapes of frozen pasta and frozen honey oat loaves, brioche buns in two sizes and pizza dough balls.

Here's the full list breakdown of all our grocery categories:

Pastured Dairy: Goat milk and six types of goat cheeses to start the week. On Tuesday, we’ll get more dairy from Feliciana’s Best, including pints or quarts of eggnog, but they won’t have heavy cream or half & half this week. And then Southern Maids will deliver more goat milk, creole cream cheese, chèvre, yogurt and a few types of goat feta on Wednesday as usual.

There’s breakfast, chorizo and Italian ground sausages and bratwurst, breakfast and Italian links, plus smoked Andouille links. We also have plenty of bacon, cured bacon ends, new jowl bacon, pork stir fry strips, bone-in or boneless chops, picnic shoulder roasts, organs, ears, tails, fat to be rendered or already rendered lard and lard soap! We also are continuing our sale on bones, jowls, smoked hocks, spare ribs and trotters.

We also have fat to render and tallow balm. And just today we brought six cattle to one of our processors, at long last! So it will dry age for 14 days and then we’ll pick it up in early January and have our own Local Cooling Farms beef back in stock to start the year.
Wild-Foraged Goat Meat: We’re continuing our 15% off sale on the entire category — so ground goat, loin chops (mini t-bones), rack steaks (rib chops), boneless stew/kebab meat, neck and shoulder roasts, shanks, rib racks and bones! We also brought more goats in with the beef, so we’ll be adding some new cuts and even some goat sausages in January, since we’re using our usual pork butcher this time and they have some other options.

Coffee & Tea: We restocked coffee from Flamjeaux this week and we’re thrilled that they were able to remove tariff pricing for now at least! We’re all stocked up, but we’ll get some more in on Thursday since they are closed next week and the week following. There’s also lots of herbal and reishi teas from Family Fungi and cold brew, chai concentrate and simple syrups from Church Alley.
Dips & Condiments: We have at least one of each flavor and size of hummus to start the week, but we’re out of pesto. We’ll restock more of both on Thursday.
