Bidding farewell to Stefan with nachos, cheap beer and bocce ball

The past two weeks have been unusually busy here at the shop. With two weeks worth of membership box pickups and Memorial Day coming this Monday, we brought in 8 pigs and 4 cows over the past 14 days, and we are spent. It would be more arduous if we didn't have the pleasure of getting animals—especially this time of year—that put a smile on our face every week. We hope when you come by the shop, you can see that we take a lot of pride in the work we do and farms we choose to partner with.

Although it was overwhelming on the production end at the shop this week, we still managed to squeeze in a going-away gathering for Stefan. We gathered at Cane Creek for a taco dinner. We were busy, so we threw together something like chorizo and marinated a bunch of thinly sliced pork collar in a mojo rub and called it good. Nachos, cheap beer, bocce ball. Jason even came off on one of the 12-packs of La Croix he keeps stocked in his trunk at all times. It was a really nice time and nobody went to jail.

Everyone is taking Monday off from production to relax and spend time with family, but we will be back at it Tuesday with animals coming in the door and lots to be done. If you have a weird request, let us know—we can probably do it!
