โ˜€๏ธ Traditionally, summer sausage was used for preservation into the summer months. Animals were harvested in the fall and preserved. The smoking and fermentation process gave it a long shelf life so that it could be consumed throughout the year.

Our summer sausage is smoked and fermented. We honor its heritage and history during the process.

๐ŸŒžSUMMER SAUSAGE is sold in refrigerated, sliced 8oz packages. Come grab some for your weekly family sandwiches, tomorrow from 11am-7pm.

From our hands to yours, with love. ๐Ÿฉท

โญ๏ธ Five gold stars to whomever already knows what this means. For the rest of ya - have you ever trussed a chicken? Do you know how to wrap your whole chicken up like the gift it is to prepare it for cooking?

๐Ÿ˜ Adam here is walking us through why (and how) to do this intentional process:

๐Ÿ” Why You Truss a Chicken

๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ง ๐‚๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ : Keeps the wings and legs close to the body so they donโ€™t overcook or dry out.

๐‰๐ฎ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ž๐ซ ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ญ: Helps the breast and thighs cook at the same rate.

๐Ÿ“ And to answer your other question, YES, we sell pasture-raised heritage breed ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ž chickens from along with ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฌ ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ

Have you tried these sexy slices ๐Ÿฅฉ ? What are they you ask?

Wellโ€ฆthis fancy charcuterie consists of cured eye of round which is a hind leg muscle of beef. You can think of it as a super fancy beef prosciutto. ๐Ÿ‘‘

We cure it with black pepper and juniper to make it extra special.

Chrisโ€™ fav way to get down with it is with dry-farmed tomatoes ๐Ÿ… and pickled carrots. ๐Ÿฅ•

It also pairs well with a mild cheese ๐Ÿง€ and raspberries (fresh or jam) on crackers of your choice ๐Ÿ˜.

Come and get your fancy on this fine Wednesday afternoon with this bad boi.
