The humanely-raised chickens, grass-fed beef, and pork . We’ve worked with this fourth-generation butcher for years and stand behind their commitment to animal welfare and traditional butchery techniques.
Many of our cheeses, breads, and pastries are crafted by area artisans using old-world methods. The bread alone comes from two bakeries using wild yeasts and stone ovens for a perfect crust and open crumb structure.
