STORAGE TIPS

  • Corn: This week's harvest should be eaten first thing. Store it in the fridge until you are ready to cook it up for dinner.

  • Mesclun/Spinach: Store your baby greens in an airtight food storage container lined with a paper towel. For longest-lasting freshness, toss your greens in their container every couple of days to improve airflow and keep them from wilting down on themselves.

  • Tomatoes: Store your tomatoes in a dark, cool spot on your kitchen counter.

  • Carmen Peppers: Place the peppers in an airtight food storage container and store the peppers in a refrigerator where you can keep the temperature between 45 and 50 degrees.

  • Red Cippolini Onions: Store in a cool, dark, dry location and spread out for optimum air circulation.

  • Beans: Store your beans in their bag in your crisper drawer.
Pantry & Localvore Items
  • Eggs: Our eggs coming from Maple Wind Farm in Huntington, Black Dirt Farm in Stannard, and Axel's Pastured Eggs in Craftsbury.

  • McFarline's Honey: McFarline’s Apiary is firmly committed to bringing you Raw Honey from untreated bees, and time tested herbal products that work.

  • Brown's Beautiful Blueberries: These gorgeous beauties are coming from a pick-your-own farm in Craftsbury that has decided not to open to the public this year. Though they are not certified organic, they do not use herbicides or pesticides on their bushes.
