Kitchen Table Cuisine Now Open for June Orders

As you place your orders for the month of June between now and 11:59 pm on June 7th, you will notice changes in the organization of our online catalog that we hope will make ordering easier. Please let us know your comments about these changes.
We have two great new items:

a wonder summer Chicken and Corn Chowder
and a new flavor of ravioli from Rio Bertolini Pasta the Bacon, Corn, and Crab Ravioli

We have removed a few items from our inventory that have proved difficult to procure.

Last month, there were some difficulties and disappointment with the dairy products. Happy Cow Creamery has asked us to apologize and to explain that there is a seasonal decrease in milk production every year as their cows take the time to calve. This year that decrease coincided with a large increase in retail sales from their farm store in Pelzer, SC. This is a temporary set back for us and, with the help of the dairy, we will do everything we can to have your milk for you this month.

We appreciate your patience and understanding of the nature of farming.

Store Inventory Increasing

More at the Farmer’s Markets as well

We are broadening the selection of regionally grown certified organic produce that we will have for sale both at our farm store in McClellanville, SC and at our booths at the farmer’s market. We’ll have more items such as potatoes and onions.

Thank You Lowcountry Local First and Charleston Cooks!

On Thursday May 27th, Maria attended a wonderful CSA cooking class hosted by Lowcountry Local First and Charleston Cooks! She brought two large CSA boxes with her and the class developed several great recipes right out of the box! These recipes will be sent to you as bag notes in an email later today.

This Week’s CSA

Your CSA box this week is truely a transition from spring to summer: the last of the spring greens, potatoes, beans, summer squash, cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
