We’re slowly starting to roll out our summer items for the Grab + Go case, and here’s our newest sandwich for the season. ☀️🥪

Rachel’s lunch pick? The Summer Market Roast Beef Sandwich.

It starts with grilled ciabatta bread layered with peppery baby arugula, tender roast beef, and creamy Boursin herb soft cheese, then finished with a side of pickled red onions for the perfect bright bite.

If you’re looking for the perfect summer sandwich, we’ve got it for you. Fresh, flavorful, and ready for lunch at The Kitchen C+C.

There’s just something about a classic Southern-style chicken salad in the summertime. ☀️

Our new Southern Summer Chicken Salad is officially hitting the Grab + Go case this week — made with tender chicken, chunks of egg, sweet pickle relish, and a creamy dressing that tastes like the kind of recipe passed around at church potlucks and family gatherings for generations.

Perfect on a croissant, over greens, with crackers, or straight from the container standing at your fridge. We won’t judge. 😉

Freshly made in small batches at The Kitchen Collective + Collaborative. Available while it lasts!

Make plans now to attend Farmer’s Market tomorrow and grab some of Stephanie’s delicious donut holes. 🤍

Soft inside. Slightly crisp outside. Rolled in cinnamon & sugar while still warm.

Then finished with a cream cheese & buttermilk drizzle.

These old-fashioned donut holes started with my great grandma's recipe, but got the Crumbstead treatment:
-browned butter
-real buttermilk
-baked instead of fried

They taste like a bakery donut, coffee cake, and Saturday morning all at once.

Available this Saturday at The Fort Scott Farmers' Market alongside breakfast burritos and protein bowls.
