It’s that time of year again, the thinking time. I haven’t forgotten about those shy steaks we’re talking about, but I’ve been doing some thinking…. I want to hear more from YOU, our customers. How are we doing? How is the service, does the website work? I try hard to suss out all the placesContinue reading “End of Year Survey!”

I’ve been working hard on some upgrades to the user experience for our website as well as a plan to reach more customers in our 1 day transit radius. However, each week I sit down to write my weekly reflections and I have nothing concrete to report. Change and progress take time it seems, neverthelessContinue reading “Delicious Pulled Pork?”

We started our week with snow, the type of snow I’m sure has a special name in some languages, but I would just call building snow. Start with a small hand-packed snow ball, then just start rolling it around. Soon you’ll have a snow ball big enough you have to call in the rest ofContinue reading “Snow, Cold, and Top Round Steak”

What a week. We have been lucky in our secluded area of northern New York State. We live in Essex County, which is entirely in the Adirondack Park, measures approximately 1900 square miles and has just under 40,000 year round residents. So there’s plenty of room for walking (even driving) and never seeing anyone. ButContinue reading “What a week…for soup”

Happy New Year! Many cultures across the globe mark the new year at different times in the calendar, yet a common thread is often the process of reflection; when we arrive at the end, we often look backwards before starting forward again.

A relatively large gathering these days and certainly a small Christmas gathering compared to what we are used to. As it turns out one of the benefits of a small gathering at the holidays is that youContinue reading “Joys of Holidays”

Thank you to everyone who placed an order for delivery this week. We packed more than 40 orders last week! I’m pretty sure this was a new record for us. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. For meat customers and now syrup customers please let us know how your package arrived, if you hadContinue reading “Preparing for Christmas”

I’ve been lucky this year. Most years the cold comes before I’m ready, water lines freeze, equipment freezes to the ground and maybe it all gets buried under the sneaky disguise of snow. Then I spend infinitely more time with picks and hot water doing what would have taken minutes before. This year has beenContinue reading “Preparing for Cold”

We’ve been trying at this for a little while now. Brilliant is maybe not the first word that comes to mind when someone suggests shipping a sticky, sweet, liquid in glass jars…but that’s exactly what we’re up to. We’ve been testing this for a few years now, and with the systems and experience of shippingContinue reading “Syrup Shipping for the Hollidays”
