If you are tempted to let others in the community know about your experience with littleGrasse, consider leaving a review online, such as Google Business or @littlegrassefoodworks on Facebook. We have never solicited this type of input, but we realize the internet is how many people first research farm posibilities. It’s time for us to be more visible and we appreciate your insight.
Tips for Success
- The 8 O’clock Ranch freezer will be operational through Sunday, November, 1st. This is the week to stock up on cuts from the freezer.
Red Kuri
- There’s a few Pennsylvania Crookneck squash in the share room. While their size is daunting for a weeknight meal, they’d be perfect for a holiday feast and should easily store until Thanksgiving. The red kuri is a more manageable size and known for its nutty favor.
