Quiet, Cold & Calorically Dense

January is normally a slower season at the shop. The holiday's have passed and everyone is regrouping and finding some sort of normal pace once again. That's not to say that we slow down a great deal, our case and especially our freezers have more variety than ever. We spent the week making huge batches of bolognese, enchiladas con carne and the return of ham and bean soup. Your body needs those high quality fats and rich collagen on these winter days. You'll feel great!

Eliza will be at the Carrboro Farmers Market this Saturday, January 13th from 9-12 with lots of pork cuts and charcuterie. We will not be bringing the trailer this time around but should have plenty to choose from. If you would like to pick up your order there, pork only please, just put in an order online. She will be at markets every other weekend throughout the winter.

Lastly, if you are looking for a fun, relaxed and free event this week, consider coming out to The River Room at Haw River Ballroom on Friday night at 6 p.m. for a really talented and cozy musical improv night. Friends of the shop Morgan Siem and Gareth Leslie have put this event together as part of what will hopefully be a recurring series. Bring a cooler and grab some provisions then head over for a drink and some free music. We will be there!

Chorizo Verde will be rolling this week, see you soon!
