Why we offer fresh products?

Our vendors grow their own food, raise their own animals, and preserve their food.

Homegrown Food vs. Store bought:

*Homegrown produce often tastes better and is more nutritious.

*Store-bought food offers convenience, year-round availability, and lower initial effort.

We offer weekly orders; pickup and delivery. Our store opens Sunday, closes Monday .

Have you ever wondered how much water is in milk?

milk has a milk fat content of at least 3.25%.

2% Milk has the second-highest fat content. There is still some fat skimmed off, but the remaining milk contains just 2% of its weight in fat (not that a serving is 2% fat).

1% Milk contains just a little bit of butterfat, equivalent to 1% of its weight. You still get some of the creaminess of 2% milk but with a lower fat content.

Skim Milk contains the same ingredients as other types of milk but without fat. (Fat is removed not by adding water to milk, but by using a separator.)

The gap between fresh farm dairy and industrial store-bought dairy is larger than almost any other food category. This breaks down exactly what happens and why small-batch farm dairy is fundamentally different from what fills the refrigerated aisle.

• Pooling: Milk from dozens or hundreds of farms is combined into massive tanks. At this point, you have no idea what farms contributed, what breeds the cows were, or what the animals were fed.

• Separation: The milk is mechanically separated into components — cream and skim milk — and then recombined to achieve a standardized fat percentage. This is how "2% milk" is made: it's not naturally 2% fat, it's been adjusted to that number.

• Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) pasteurization: Milk is heated to 280°F for just a few seconds — long enough to extend shelf life to months, but also long enough to denature heat-sensitive proteins and destroy beneficial enzymes.

• Homogenization: Fat molecules are forced through tiny nozzles at high pressure to prevent cream from separating. This changes the physical structure of the fat globules permanently.

• Fortification: Because processing removes or destroys certain vitamins, synthetic versions are added back. That's why store milk is "fortified with Vitamin D" — the natural vitamin profile was reduced during processing.

By the time milk reaches your refrigerator, it has been separated, recombined, heated to extreme temperatures, mechanically processed, and supplemented. It is safe to drink. But it is not the same product that left the cow.

Why farm fresh?

Choosing farm fresh foods means selecting produce, meats, dairy, and eggs that are harvested directly from local farms. Farm fresh is picked at peak ripeness, which preserves higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to store bought items that may be harvested early for long distance transport.

Bon Appetit!!!
