Hazzard Free Farm: Rolled Oats! Andrea Hazzard has been growing organic grains on her family farm (established in 1847!) in Pecatonica since 2007. These oats are grown and milled on her farm, keeping the cycle of farming close to home, where it belongs. Besides growing some of the tastiest and prettiest grains, she is an all around bad ass farmer, community and earth advocate. Christine mentored with Andy way back in 2015 and looks up to Andy as a bright light in the wild farming landscape of the Midwest. This item is raw and should be stored in the freezer
Golden Gills: LION’S MANE+ BLUE OYSTER! from our neighbors in Wauconda, IL. They speak to our heart as they source their growing medium for mushrooms is spent coffee grounds!

We are so pleased to share their tasty shrooms with you, and you may see Golden Gills return throughout the season:)
