Weekly Store Update
We have been secretly giving our store a bunch of upgrades over the past few months. We have been adding in all kinds of new, unique products to our grocery shelves. I am really leaning in to new and emerging founder products, so make sure to check out all the new items next time you are in the store! We have everything you need to make a show-stopping charcuterie, to new gourmet nuts, chocolates and even hot sauce! We will be sampling items throughout the week to try to spread the love for these emerging brands. Make sure to follow on on socials to stay on top of all the newest additions to the store!

Have a great week, and as always, thanks for your support! ~Christy

This is definitely a record for me!! Our Thanksgiving Catering Menu is now live!! Feel free to call the store with any questions. But here’s a quick rundown:

*2 size options (Mini pan serves 2-4, Regular serves 8-12)
*If you are serving 5-8 people we suggest 2 mini pans per side
*If you are serving 20+ people we suggest 2 regular pans
*All orders are picked up cold on Wed, Nov 25th from 12-7
*Orders are due by Fri, Nov 20th
*I am still waiting on info for our Granny's Pie Factory fresh pies, so once I get that order deadline I will post that separately
*Every year we donate all the meals to Southbury Food Bank to help our neighbors in need. If you would like to help this year, you can sponsor a meal for our neighbors and friends (more details in store)
*Due to the high volume of donation meals and individual meals that we need to make this year we will not be offering roasted turkey breast as one of our options on our menu. I appreciate your understanding. We have a commitment to feed our community and we can only cook so many turkey breasts in our small kitchen, along with everything else, so we have to limit what we are offering so we can successfully provide these meals for our neighbors. But as always, I will try to cook extra so we have some for the case the week of Thanksgiving!! But as far as sides and started go, I’ve got you covered!!

This will be our 9th Thanksgiving cooking for you! I want to take this moment to thank every customer who has trusted us to feed their families for all these years. We love being part of this community and we look forward to another great (and delicious) holiday season!! ~Christy
