This week we are bringing jam from our friend Kelby at Olde Haven Farm into the Whole and Double Shares in Massachusetts. Not to play favorites but the folks in Maine got it last week, one week ahead. (We love you all equally, we promise.)
These jams are wonderfully delicious.

To keep you cozy and warm we have created a Valentine's Day Pop Up to give you the warm , culinary fuzzies. We're aware that Valentine's Day can be viewed as a corporate construct, just another way to shove nauseating Jewelry commercials into your eyeballs until you pass out. But to us, its an excuse to pour a glass of wine, crank some Pasty Cline and cook a delicious meal in your sweatpants.
