$1 Off Schmaltz &
Fall Foliage Recommendations

We hope you had a great Halloween, or if you’re trick-or-treating tonight, we wish your little ones lots of luck! Our little, pasture-raised duck certainly had lots of fun dressing up and quacking!

Schmaltz? What’s schmaltz, you ask! It’s rendered chicken fat, meant for cooking, baking, and loads of other amazing uses! Because our birds are pasture-raised and always outside, our chicken fat has a delicious, rich flavor with a lightness that means it can be used even in baking sweets or “chocolate” making! It imparts a richness that doesn’t reveal any chicken flavor at all—and that makes it our favorite fat to cook with! Read on for more information about how to add schmaltz to your day!

This week, you can find both of us at the Corner Farmers Market, with schmaltz on sale and edible plants that are showing their fall colors! Come by and see us if you haven’t in a while—we look forward to enjoying the beautiful day together!

Sauté With Schmaltz

If you’ve chatted with us lately, perhaps you’ve heard us rave about the many uses of chicken fat!

In fact, Emma likes cooking with chicken fat even more than duck fat and she just loves the flavor. Chicken fat is such a versatile fat that we can’t even imagine the time before we cooked everything with chicken fat!

Among our favorite uses for chicken fat, one that stands out is its use as a canola/vegetable oil substitute. Because chicken fat has one of the highest smoking points, it’s excellent when used for frying eggs or sautéing veggies. Swing by and grab your tub of chicken fat for $1 off!

Drizzle that Chicken Fat!

Chicken fat is amazing when drizzled over veggies before they go in the oven! Rather than using olive oil or coconut oil, chicken fat adds a little something extra that vegetable derivative oils can’t quite match.

Just the other day we cooked up some delicious french fries in our chicken fat, and chicken fat brussels sprouts are super creamy!

If you follow a Paleo or Keto diet, here’s looking at you!

Did You Say Chocolate?

Our newest obsession–chicken fat fudge, made with cocoa powder, chicken fat, vanilla, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Oh my. Want to know more? Come chat with us tomorrow at the market!

Fall Foliage Feature: Red!

This Fall Foliage Feature looks at two plants that are native and display similar fall color!

Both blueberries and juneberries (serviceberries) yield sweet and juicy berries, hold their leaves for quite a while during the fall, and display bright red or bright red-orange coloring.

It’s always an added bonus when your edible plants are also ornamental, right?

Fall Foliage Feature: Orange!

Take a look at these two trees that display lovely orange fall leaves!

The first is persimmon, the leaves of which change color over the course of the season… Going from green to yellow to orange and sometimes red. When all of the persimmon’s leaves have dropped, the tree still bears the beautiful orange persimmon fruits—making it a lovely scene even after winter is here.

Hazelnut trees also go orange for the fall season, displaying more of a red-orange shade, and tend to grow as rounded bushes which appear to be big balls of color in the fall!
