Rip or slice ?
It really makes a big difference…

Maycomber turnip! Maybe one of my favourites, crispy, sweet. Love it thinly sliced, raw, with a good oil and some sunflower seeds could really eat it all day.
.
We really don’t have very many but if you buy em I’ll get more, still figure in out what you like!
Are you a tear or slice your mushrooms kinda person? I think different reasons for different approaches BUT I do think torn is awfully nice to preserve that natural shape and note texture
Lovely fresh milled the rice factory product in house. Sampling some new ones for the shelf
Donuts… were out. And won’t have any this week :(.. but they’re nice toasted. I’ll get more next week
Also the proud new owner of some Elmendorf Baking Supplies sifted flour, to hopefully be turned into something lovely for you and his week… TBD!
Also dulse comin in a lovely purple color

Honestly!?
We’re just starting to roll out some of our holiday items
There will be lots more to come, but these blankets, honestly!? Literally? I think you could give to your kids as heirlooms. I say that a little as a joke and then also not cause they’re really nice and just lovely. Just the right weight
We’re getting the tea shelf ready with lots more to come
Preorders on the site
Lots o fun things for the seasons to come!

MUSHROOM OF THE HOUR/WEEKEND
Hen of the woods AKA maitake AKA rams head mushroom AKA signorina AKA Grifola frondosa
Our wild and local mushroom is getting to the of a plentiful season, and what’s in house is actually still less expensive than cultivated!
Maybe this is the last weekend tho
Hens are one of our most popular and favorite mushrooms through out the year
It’s super vestibule and can be used in just about every way you can think of.
It’s great roasted, tossed in olive oil salt and pepper the tips all crisped up, chopped and added to rice dishes (think fried rice finished with a good soy sauce). It’s hearty jn soups, with soupy beans… TEM (m*ther f*cking)PURA !… the only limit is your imagination 🪄
The rest of the photos are a variety of what’s been showing up in the shop.
Oh, mushroom tacos!
✌️
