You heard it here first. We are beginning to re-model the store and bring it back with the intention of in-store shopping. Woo hoo. Curbside as usual while we re-organize, then we will move to a hybridized shopping experience. In-store shopping and curbside pickup, your choice. When the shop is in tiptop shape we will have a soft opening, ie: appointment only. Once the hybrid kinks are worked out we will open the doors fully. We miss you too.
That said, there is much to be excited about this week. The Hummingbird Beefsteaks arrived in full form. Jenn also threw in some green ones for you to fry up. Baby yellow Thompson sweetie grapes, don’t ask. Just put them on your list. That spinach I was a raving about is back again, California flat leaf style! A beautiful crate of escarole arrived, which you can pair with our organic 1A cannellini beans. An awesome assortment of Murray’s cheeses arrived. Happy to pick you an assortment to go with the Comice pears.
