JULY 4TH - BUSINESS AS USUAL
We'll be operating as usual the week of July 4th. Hosting a cookout for Independence Day? Don't forget to order your cookout ingredients this weekend. We're excited to grill some kabobs, serve some salsa verde, kick up our feet and throw back some blackberry margaritas. The ground bison chuck makes a crazy good cheese burger with the Monterey Jack.
FRESH GARLIC
Traditional garlic vs. fresh garlic, what's the difference? Most garlic we use has been cured (i.e. dried). Young, fresh garlic is is typically wet, and has a more mild garlic flavor. It can be used in any recipe calling for garlic, and makes a great aioli. To keep it in tip top shape, be sure to store it in the fridge.
WILD-CAUGHT SALMON
