How about a picnic?

What's your idea of a perfect Sunday? Ours is strolling through the market, chatting with friends and picking up ingredients for an afternoon picnic. 


Start off with some great, local cheese
Berkshire Blue and Hudson Red from Julia & Isabella


Amazing Real Live Food Company's Stella Vallis Tomme is a great choice.
Add some Summer Sausage, like this venison version from Highland Farm
Or some smoked turkey from Quattro's.
They also have smoked pheasant sausage that you can slice and eat.
You gotta have a nice loaf of bread. Grab something from
Our Daily Bread or Tivoli Bread & Baking
A jar of olives from Dancing Ewe Farm would be a nice addition to a picnic basket.
Add something sweet, like these raspberries that just came into season.
How about a quart of refreshing currant juice from Ray Tousey.
Or a growler of beer from Old Chatham Brewing .
These fruit tartlets from Farm Country Soup would make a great ending.
Pack it all in one of our insulated tote bags and you are good to go!
