"We met Lee, Ingrid and Leena Abraham from Berger Bluff Farm a few years ago when the Clayton Farmer's Market first opened. They're good people, the kind that you wish you met more often. They're blessed with green thumbs, a love of the land and a passion for growing tasty things to eat. We buy their delicious tomatoes in the summertime to pair up with fresh Mozzarellai di Bufala and we were thrilled when we learned that they're raising chickens and selling farm fresh eggs. They're also making weekly deliveries to the metro area. Their eggs are fresh baby, and totally different than the bland-tasting, white, factory-produced eggs. Berger Bluff eggs are snatched from the layers the same week that they're delivered. These are eggs as they should be with a natural, brown shell, buoyant egg whites and dark orange yolks that are rich and delicious. I feel like I've used 'delicious' too often but wait until you try these! They're about the same price as brown eggs that grocers are pedaling but these are fresher with much more flavor. Berger Bluff eggs are a great way to splurge without breaking the bank. Affordable luxury that also supports a local, independent farm."

PS We're still carrying Clarverach Farm Eggs when we can get 'em...


Parmigiano-Reggiano $12.99/lb

Cut and Wrapped Fresh to Your Order!
"We have a great price on Parm and we cut and wrap it fresh to your order. We've always recommend buying Parmigiano-Reggiano in hunks or wedges and highly recommend grating it yourself as pre-grated Parmigiano loses it's character quickly. Freshly grated always tastes better. Parmigiano-Reggiano is a great snacking cheese too, so don't just grate it over pasta, salads and soups. It's one of our favorite wine tasting cheeses as it has fresh acidity and doesn't coat your palate and interfere with the wine. We like to serve Parm with full-bodied reds (Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello di Montalcino!) or a chilled glass of French Champagne. Stop by for a FREE sample of Parmigiano-Reggiano so you can see for yourself!"
