FAQs
How many people will the bundles serve?
Thanksgiving Dinner - 5# of potatoes will serve mashed potatoes for 8-10 people (~1/2 cup serving). 3# of onions will amount to ~6 cups of onions that can be used in mashed potatoes, stuffing, and any other dish. 1/4# garlic equates to 5-6 heads of garlic, each with 6-10 cloves. The 4 butternut squashes will make about 16 cups of squash, enough for 8-10 people.
Cheese Board - Together the items in this bundle will feed 5-10 people.
How should I store my bundle until Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving Dinner - separate the onions, garlic, and potatoes. You can keep each in their bags, but move them to separate locations in your home that are cool (about 50-60 degrees), dry, and dark. If you are worried about moisture, a small fan will move the air around enough to create a dry storage environment. Butternut squash can be stored alongside any of the other items in the same conditions. The Culinary Herb Celtic Sea Salt can be stored in your pantry.
Cheese Board - Store the cheese and caramel sauce in the fridge. Apples should also be stored there in the crisper drawer, set for fruit (high humidity). Walnuts can be stored in their bag in your pantry. The jam, if unopened, can store in the pantry.
Hostess Gift - The Culinary Herb Cane Sugar can be stored in your pantry. Dried flower bouquet should be stored out of sunlight and away from a heat source.
If we don’t use everything for Thanksgiving how long will it last?
Thanksgiving Dinner - All of the produce in the Thanksgiving Dinner bundle will store for 2-3+ months. Potatoes, garlic, and onions should be stored in separate locations in your house - but all in cool, dry, and dark places. The winter squash can be stored with any of the other produce items in the bundle - they aren’t as picky. The culinary herb Celtic sea salt will last for over a year. Keep out of sunlight to preserve the color of the herbs.
Cheese Board - The walnuts have been “cured” and will last 3-6 months in their shell in your pantry. You can also bag & freeze them in their shell for up to 1 year. The apples will last another 2-3 weeks in your fridge in the crisper drawer. Your cheese has individual best by date stickers on them, but most are good into the new year - just keep them refrigerated. The caramel sauce is best by January 1, 2025. If the jam remains unopened it will be good for another 6 months. If you open the jam, keep refrigerated and use within a month.
Hostess Gift - Dried bouquets will last 1 year with proper care (instructions provided at purchase). The culinary herb cane sugar will last over a year. Keep out of sunlight to preserve the color of the herbs.

How do I open the walnuts?

What items in the bundles are organic?
All of the vegetables were grown following organic standards and are free of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. The apples and walnuts are heirloom trees, that have never been sprayed. The cheese and caramel sauce from Eden Valley Creamery is USDA certified organic and made with their grass-fed cow’s milk. The flowers are pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide-free and were dried without the use of any chemicals. The cane sugar in the Culinary Herb Cane Sugar is USDA certified organic. All of the herbs in the sugar and salts are grown pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide-free on our farm.
The jam (with the exception of the apple butter) is made with local fruit sourced locally from Senek Farms, which is a conventional farm. The apple butter is made using apples from our farm’s heirloom trees that have never been sprayed.
The sea salt is not eligible for organic certification since it is a mineral.
