We deliver farm fresh goodness to your door!

We believe in eating local. We believe in supporting our CT Farmers and small business in general. We are, after all, a small business ourselves. This service is for Connecticut residents only.

We deliver locally grown, mostly organic, fresh vegetables, fruit, dairy products, meat, baked goods, CT maple syrup and local honey, directly from local farms and producers right to your door whether it's your home or a restaurant who wants to serve local and fresh food.


Many can't get away from work or are just too busy to get to all the wonderful regional farmer's markets that spring up each week here and there, so we do it for you. We are the missing link and your personal supplier.  Its that simple.

Cato Corner Farm - Young Dutch Farmstead (cut to approximately 1 lb. piece)
Moderately creamy and medium mild with a slight nutty undertone and a rich, round, well-balanced flavor, the Dutch Farmstead is our variation on Gouda. Consistently one of our favorites, the Dutch was recognized both Saveur magazine in 2005 and Slow Food USA in 2003 as one of the best American raw milk farmstead cheeses. Ideal for sandwiches or with crackers and wine, the Dutch has a little more heft than the Bridgid's Abbey, giving it appeal to customers across a wide range of tastes. Melts well. Aged 2 - 4 months.

RECIPE FROM ONE OF OUR OWN Drew McLachian

Pan Seared Native Flounder with Local Herbs, Roasted CT Strawberries, Wilted Greens & Beltane Farm Goat Cheese

2 lbs. Flounder, filleted
1 tbls Assorted Fresh Herbs, Thyme, Parsley, finely chopped
1 each Lemon, zested & juiced
2 tbls. Butter
1 cup Extra Virgin La Bonta di Fiesole Olive Oil  
1 qt. Strawberries, hulled, gently rinsed & dried on towels
2 cups Braising Greens, Kale, Chard, cleaned and chopped
1 Shallot, minced
1/2 cup Fresh Goat Cheese
Salt & Pepper

Pre-Heat oven to 425 degrees
Toss Strawberries with 1/4 cup of the Olive Oil, some Salt & Pepper.  Place on Roasting Pan and cook for 5-7 minutes or until just soft.
Season Fluke with Salt & Pepper and coat lightly with Olive Oil. Put aside.
Heat heavy pan with 1 tbls of butter & 1/4 cup of the Olive Oil until just smoking.
Place Fluke flesh side down on pan, being careful of splattering.  Cook until nicely brown, about 3-4 minutes.  Flip fish over and finish cooking skin side down, until meat is translucent and just done.
Remove fish & set aside on towels. Drain pan and wipe clean.
Put remaining Olive Oil in pan and add Shallots.  Cook until clear and add Greens.  Toss until wilted, add Lemon juice and zest.  Off the heat, toss with the remaining Butter and season to taste.
Place Greens on plate next to the Strawberries, crumble Goat Cheese over both. Place Fluke off to the side and pour any juices over the top. Sprinkle with the Herbs and some Lemon juice.
Serves 4 well.
