Southern Indiana Strawberries
Ron is going down to southern Indiana to pick up the belated red beauties tonight!
He’ll drive all night to get them to you tomorrow morning. It’ll be like Christmas–if Christmas were in May, and Santa Claus brought the most delicious strawberries.

Tennessee Tomatoes! Plus a Little Business
Tomato season is in full swing. We’ll tell you a little secret: Ours come from a special place. Tennessee. We get them from Tennessee because Tennessee tomatoes are the juiciest, most flavorful around, and our secret family grower (third generation) says this is the best batch they’ve had in years.
These tomatoes will show up in new dishes like our tomato salad, sans cheese, but kissed with a little balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil. They’re also good with our baby greens, which you can now get as a side salad with your choice of our homemade rosemary or citrus vinaigrette.
Besides the regular inventory alerts, we wanted to keep our customers in the loop: As many of you know, we had an issue with our credit line being continually operational recently. We just want to make sure—if there are any inconsistencies with your statement, please bring it to our attention.
Finally, our organic Indiana flour is proving quite popular. Come get some!
