Our Shallot Infused Olive Oil is thousands of shallots in the making! In addition to our fall bulb planting, we sow hundreds of shallots by seed each spring. Grow, little shallots, grow! 🌱🧅💚

☘️ May the road rise up to meet you with a tasty table of food!

In honor of all things green, here's a fan favorite (and one of my favorites too!) from last year's Flatbread Challenge: Green Dreams Flatbread. 💚

🥪 And here’s a pro-tip for this recipe: it was inspired by a popular Irish grilled cheese. So if you aren’t in the mood to roll out dough, just grab two slices of bread and make it a sandwich! All you need is:
🧀 Sharp Cheddar
🥒 Pickles & Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Chives)
🧅 Shallot Infused Olive Oil

Both the flatbread and the grilled cheese pair perfectly with a cold beer. Sláinte! ☘️

The secret ingredient you didn't know you needed has arrived! 🤯

🧄 Our new Black Garlic Balsamic is crafted from small-batch black garlic we make ourselves using garlic fresh from the farm. Infused into white balsamic, it delivers a complex, fascinating flavor—sweet, savory, and pure umami. Give your cooking an unexpected depth that transforms dishes from ordinary to extraordinary! ⭐
