SPRING SURVEY + PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS
Spring has finally sprung! We are so excited to be getting our first berries of the season this year. Our friends at Eastern Carolina Organics Farm Co-Op have kept things warm enough for the first berries to grow. This is a special treat because even though we're halfway through April, many farmers in the area are still not ready to harvest spring crops due to the recent cold snap. We are pressing our green thumbs in anticipation of the spring crops coming your way as we transition into May.
PECAN MAPLE STUFFED DATES
This week, we're thrilled to have pecan maple stuffed dates from Julie's Datery! Founder Julie Reynes’s date odyssey began with a January 2013 business trip to Saudi Arabia, where she marveled at the many filled offerings. Now the fomer nonprofit consultant is pitting and stuffing Medjool dates by hand at culinary incubator Union Kitchen. The stuffed dates are naturally gluten and dairy free, and of course very delicious. Try the dates wrapped in Clark's Old Peach Tree Farm bacon, and stuffed with Cherry Glen's goat cheese or Trickilng Springs smoked raw cheddar - We promise you will not want to share these!
Thanks for all your support.
-Tom & the 4P Foods Team
