Hi Jesse,
I didn't know you were on this website. Have you guys managed to find alternative transport? If not, my offer still stands. Since you usually work at the store on the weekends, Chace is here and I don't drive my car anyways. Hope you find…

I'll be sharing some of my home-raised, dry-cured salted ham in this follow-up to a charcuterie tasting I hosted a year ago. The ham is OG, from a pig I grew, salt only(no nitrates/nitrites) slow cured- it's been aging for one year in my cellar. I'l…

This is timely for me- I just took some scions(grafts) off of a 200-year old dooryard apple tree down the hill from me. It's a breed know as "Maine Blue Pear," an old local variety with outstanding baking and keeping qualities. All I know is that it…
