Strawberries! Plus Cabbage & Black Eyed Peas, Eggnog, Duck Eggs, Pastured Proteins, Popcorn, Pasta & More!
What We Have and What’s Expected for the Week of December 22nd
Place Your Orders Here!
We got the first strawberries of the season at the end of last week, just in time for Christmas.
We're also stocked up on lots of our local grocery staples like pastured proteins, eggs and produce, along with some seasonal things like eggnog, gift bundles and black eyed peas and cabbage.
Besides strawberries, we have lots of lovely citrus and apples, plus plenty of salad greens, cabbages, broccolini, root veggies, squashes, sweet potatoes and more.
All protein categories are fairly stocked up, but beef is still pretty limited other than ground beef and roasts. We will be getting more of our Local Cooling Farms grass-finished beef back from the processor in early January though!
More popcorn came in last week as well as a bunch of fresh coffee to get us through Flamjeaux's break until early January.
More fresh dairy from Feliciana’s Best Creamery is coming in on Tuesday as usual, including eggnog!
With the holidays right in the middle of the week, we won’t have deliveries from Bellegarde, Nur’s Kitchen, Southern Maids, A&A Acres or Homegrown in Folsom this week. We will be able restock from some of these vendors next week and then will resume our usual weekly deliveries the week of January 5th!
There’s no neighborhood farm hubs or home deliveries this week or next week, but our shop hours in Metairie are below! We’re closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as well as a half day on New Year’s Eve and all day New Year’s Day and then will resume normal hours on Friday, January 2nd.
Here's the full list breakdown of all our grocery categories:
