This is A Farmer’s Year, Part 2! Last month we talked about the year-round activities of fruit and vegetable farmers. If you missed it, you can read that newsletter here!
This time around, I thought we could talk about livestock, and while most livestock don’t really have fully seasonal ties, sheep definitely do. Now before I crack on, wool you bear with me? Ewe’ve heard I like puns, I won’t be sheepish about it.
The simple and irrefutable equation that Food = Love led us to draw up a delightfully rich and fun collection of Valentine's Day Add-Ons. Beautiful Rib Eyes from Feather Brook Farms, Lobster Tails from Red's Best, Pasta, Sauces and YES, Focaccia from Fox & The Knife, Baguette, Cheese, Cookies from Forge and more! Plan a fancy dinner or just stock up the freezer with future delights!
This broth is so tasty it can be enjoyed plain as a beverage. Just heated in a mug it's warm and comforting - like a sweatshirt for your mouth. If that isn't your cup of broth, try a few of these ideas:
1. Tomorrow January 9th and Tuesday January 12th we will be collecting dry goods for La Colaborativa, a Food Bank in Chelsea, in addition to our new monthly giving initiative at Family Dinner.
2. Latkes are in the house! We are starting a series of restaurant collaborations with some of the best joints in Boston. We are kicking it off with Mamaleh's Delicatessen. We will have their items in the shares and there are plenty of add-ons to pick from for next week only.
Buying local is important, not just because it gives you the warm fuzzies (which is for sure does, almost as much as biting into a cookie from A&J King, or snuggling a baby sloth), but because it bolsters the local economy in enduring ways.
