Dear Friends, we’ve had a re-centering in our lives while taking time away from serving you our curbside pickups this past week. As many of you may have heard, our dear puppy, Louie, lost his fight with Parvovirus on Scott’s birthday, September 24. We are saddened by Louie’s passing and have taken time to grieve his loss while spending supportive time with our family. Thank you to many of you for your words of condolence and support. Your kindnesses have brought a sense of equilibrium to us.
Whenever we take a week off from offering our meals and produce to you, we spend time thinking and speaking together about how to make this business stronger and more able to serve you best. As a result of seeing that our Friday Pickups have decreased dramatically since Labor Day and as the cooler weather has come, we see that the best way forward in this season is to focus our energy on Sunday Pickups for the remaining days of Fall and Winter. For those of you who love to have your pizzas on Friday nights, we suggest you order on Sundays what you would like to have available for the following Friday. We are working on creating an Honor System here at the bakery with a freezer full of our pizzas and many other items, but we are not quite there yet. We will have special pickup days during the holidays and we’re planning a big holiday sale of many of the items that remained when we closed our café.
Our plan is to have this week with pickups available on both Friday and Sunday and the following week, we will begin this seasonal change with pickup available next on Sunday, October 18. That menu will still come to you on Tuesdays with the ordering deadline for Sunday Pick up on Friday, 7pm. We are also preparing a survey form that we will send to you hopefully this week so that you can share your wishes for what you’d like to see us offer over the holidays and into the winter.
Since we’re in October folks, it is a good month for our best beef stew. We start with VT raised beef browned and slow simmered with mushrooms, fresh herbs and red wine. This stew is best eaten with a fork for the bites and a piece of baguette to soak up the sauce. A fresh beet and carrot salad with citrus vinaigrette and an apple galette complete the meal. For vegetarians we offer a stew of mixed mushrooms in a rich herb gravy.
Many of you have requested a repeat of our Fall Pizza, a colorful array of bright orange sweet potato slices, golden brown caramelized onions and crumbles of fresh feta cheese atop a crunchy, bubbly crust, a ladle of sauce and a sprinkling of mozzarella.
The soup special is a vegan and gluten-free Butternut Squash Bisque made with ginger, apples and spices. We like to serve it with crumbled feta which comes on the side for you to add or not.
This week we’re offering Maple Cookies and Cranberry Orange Tea Cakes made with Maple Glazed Walnuts along with our regular treats.
How lucky are we to be able to breathe this crisp and clear early autumn air?
We are grateful for your orders, your constant support, and your sweet appreciations- all which bring smiles to our faces! Thank you!
~Scott and Lisa
