What’s Available through the Online Order System

The following items are available now to order for pickup or delivery on Saturday, October 30.

We are getting very good reception from our customers for Chapel’s Country Creamery pastured, grass-fed, dry-aged beef! We are happy to provide you with nice steaks, beautiful lean ground beef, top round roasts, stew meat and beef liver. Grass fed (pastured) beef, dry-aged for a month is about the best beef you can get. We are selling exclusively for Chapel’s this fall as they have only two steers as they start this part of their business.

Their pork has also received much praise and we are glad to have new Sweet Italian Sausage and Regular Bratwurst back in stock. We have plenty of bacon, pork chops, loose sausage and ham slices and hams for you. Chapel’s is now using Haass Family Butcher Shop in Dover for their butchering needs and I am told Haas makes the very best scrapple around!

Chapel’s has an onsite creamery where they produce wonderful fresh and aged cheese from their pastured, grass-fed dairy cows. Their fresh Queso Fresco and Paneer is both inexpensive and delicious. They have a nice beer washed cheddar, Amber16 that is served at Harbour Restaurant along with their delicious Chesapeake Brie. My favorites are the hard alpine Woodbine, their soft, delicious Bay Blue (blue cheese), and their signature mild Chapel Cheddar. And Smooth Sails is a sophisticated Fromage Blanc spreading cheese with an assertive tang. We eat it on water crackers with one of Backyard Jams & Jellies hot pepper jellies.

Here at Hattie’s Garden we have begun to grow microgreens! We are starting off with arugula and mixed microgreens. Look for more choices as we get dialed in. From the garden, we finally have young carrots this week and nice quality red radishes, hakurei turnips, beautiful lemongrass, fresh dill, fresh cilantro, fresh parsley, fresh rosemary. We also have plenty of salad mixes, including young & mature arugula, young mesclun and young lettuce mix.

Stag Run Farm brings us new varieties every week and this week we are offering Braeburn (nice combination of sweet and tart flavor), Golden Delicious (sweet and tangy, great for eating), JonaGold (nice crispy large-sized apple with perfect sweet and tart balance), Valstar (sweet and tangy, great for eating), Fuji (sweet and juicy flavor, with a subtle refreshing tart undertone), Cameo (sweet, crisp and juicy), and Rome (a great cooking apple).

Dittmar Family Farms raises excellent free-range chickens, and this week they have whole and half birds, as well as chicken liver for you. Dittmar produce includes romaine and summer crisp head lettuce, scallions, purple top turnips and large heads of Joi Choi Bok Choy.

From Davidson’s Exotic Mushrooms, we Portabella, Shiitake, Cremini, and Maiitake mushrooms. Lion’s Mane (Pom Pom) are unavailable for a couple of weeks.

302 Aquaponics has plenty of aquaponically grown salad ingredients, and beautiful tilapia fish they raise as part of their aquaponics system. There are no chemicals or pesticides in their farming.

AlaskaWild Seafoods family-run business has Pacific Cod, Pacific Rockfish, and Sockeye Salmon fresh frozen directly from the boat and flown to the east coast every week. Their smoked salmon is in stock and the Coho Salmon will soon be in season.

Rounding out the line-up are wonderful free-range chicken eggs from Twin Posts and honey from Chrissy’s Bees (part of Stag Run Farm).
