Holiday Bundles and Savings

Smoked Ham, Lamb, Wine and Hard Ciders from OCP

Hello

In the shuffle of all things focused on holiday orders, I forgot to include the mini share contents. See below for the full list of bag contents.

A short newsletter today. Lots to do today with holiday orders. Our little kitchen is bursting at the seams trying crank out Christmas cookies, eggnog, CHILI CRISP, pierogis, and so much more.

This week is an exciting and festive week at Fresh Fork. Items of note include:

Open to the Public Week. Tell friends or family to try us out with not commitment.
A Great Bag. Our farmers were able to get some crops out early before the single digits, so we have a good last push of brussel sprouts, sugar sweet carrots, and red cabbage.
Cheese Bundles and more - entertain or gift on a tasty budget.
Eggnog. We are making lots of eggnog this week to keep you all in the holiday spirit.
Cookie Decorating Kits. Have fun decorating our signature sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, colored with natural food dies.
New PET TREATS - dehydrated chicken, turkey and goose treats from our friends at Pleasant Valley Poultry.

We also have our OCP order form - a great way for you to get Ohio wines and ciders, charcuterie boards, and even a smoked ham or Ohio Lamb cuts at the Fresh Fork trucks this week.

Thanks

Trevor

Raw Sauerkraut -

It has been years since we have been out of stock for so long on this. We take pride in making our own raw sauerkraut with just two ingredients - organic cabbage and pink Himalayan sea salt.

This summer, the heat and drought caused our farmers to lose their first crop of cabbage. Without cabbage, there is no kraut. This fall the harvest was better, and we were able to start stockpiling barrels of it in September to ferment. In the fall - with the cool weather and drier cabbage - it takes longer to make.

But, just in time for New Years, we have kraut again. And a kraut deal to help you ring in the new year.

Kraut and Butt Roast - $22.50

The pork shoulder butt roast is perfect for the slow cooker and stewing with kraut. This comes with one butt roast (approx 2.5# to 3#) and 1 quart of kraut.

Chili Crisp -

It's been in the works for two months now. This project takes a lot of time!

We start in the fall with fresh jalapenos. Slice them and fry them until crispy. We strain them and pulse in the food processor until crispy bits of jalapeno.

We then peel the garlic and shallots, and do the same cooking process. And finally, at the end, the flavored oil is strained until clean and all three components are mixed together with seasonings and peanut nibs. The hot oil is poured over top and crisps everything back up.

This delicious condiment is a labor of love and sure to go fast. Keep refrigerated.
