Heirloom Tomatoes + Fresh Chicken 🍅🐔

They’re back!! 🍅 Heirloom tomatoes have arrived!

These juicy, seasonal staples are picked at their peak and sweet enough to enjoy on their own. 🧡 We also love them sliced on a grass-fed burger, tossed into a bright salad, or paired with fresh cucumbers and herbs.

As if it couldn’t get better than summertime heirloom tomatoes, we’ll also have fresh, air-chilled chicken in stock this week! 🍗 Straight from our butcher and never frozen–it truly doesn’t get fresher than this.

These popular items tend to go fast 💨, so be sure to place a pre-order online to guarantee yours.

We can’t wait to see you this week!
