Hot Dog & Do-si-do

It's raining this morning for the first time in a long while, and it feels like a fitting wind down to a very busy week. We had the first run of our new Butcher Membership boxes rolling out of the shop, and we were so pleased with the ease on our end and reception from the many customers who came to pick up. There were some really special offerings from a wild ramp sausage made possible by our resident forager, Adam, to a classic old-style French chicken liver mousse (I'm still recovering from all the "tasting" that was required in making it).

If you are hoping to get in on the next run of boxes, you should get your name on the waiting list. We are working out the logistics of scaling this and will very likely be opening up more spaces soon. We think it's just about the coolest thing you could do!

Last night, we capped the week with a square dance and hotdogs at Cane Creek Farm. It really does mean a lot to us that so many of you show up. It's a good time, so we don't exactly have to twist your arm but it really does drive home the fact that we are a community butcher shop. Someone last night told me that it reminded him so much of the village butcheries he went to as a child in rural England. I sort of swooned over that one.

Have a most excellent week! There's probably more news but we’ll think of it all and let you know as our brains begin to land. Thanks for being customers, friends and neighbors—we have the best job there is.
