This is it! The greatest gift you’ll give or receive this year! One of our favorite things about finally having a physical storefront is being able to fill it with all of the products we’ve discovered over years in the biz! We’ve amassed the best sellers stocked at our brick & mortar, which all also happen to be incredible, small producer-made consumables (well minus the soap)! Whether you’re sharing it all with with friends/family or showering one person with all of these lovely things, this collection is the answer! What’s in the box, you ask?

• Three third pound wedges of our favorite cheeses of the moment

• A bag of our housemade crackers

• A third pound log of Banner Cultured Butter w/ Sea Salt

• A small format La Salumina Salame

The legendary spruce bark wrapped raw cow’s milk from Dodgeville, WI is back! Uplands Cheese and cheesemaker Andy Hatch have been a major force in establishing the United States as a producer of some of the best cheese in the world. Focusing on just two cheeses, Rush Creek Reserve is made after the cows have switched from pasture to hay feeding, making for fattier, more nutrient rich milk. This is what every cheese fiend in the country is after around the holidays!

Wheels are approximately 12 oz.

Our favorite application: In our opinion, there is only one way to do Rush Creek, which is to give it 2 hours to come to room temp before unwrapping, taking a paring knife to just above the half of the spruce bark, and folding back half of the top to reveal the liquid gold below. From there, go at it with warm baguette, spoons or fingers (you animals!).

Tastes like: Mushroom custard, holiday ham, beef bone broth.

The Brass Tacks:

• Uplands Cheese - Dodgeville, WI

• Washed Rind + Spruce Bark Wrapped

• Raw Cow

• Animal Rennet

• Season: Special Holiday Release, generally available November through January

Words can’t describe the beaming joy on Nora’s face when she found out that Green Dirt Farm were working on a blue cheese. We had been after a non-cow blue for several years when we heard that the team at GDF were releasing their first batch of a Roquefort-inspired pasteurized sheep’s milk blue. And, boy, does this blue deliver! A little younger and more mild than your typical Roquefort, Mount Bethel Blue showcases the the fattiness of sheep’s milk with it’s semi-firm texture and flavors of mellow stone fruit, and just a hint of pepper.

Our favorite application: Mount Bethel Blue is particularly great smeared on still hot baguette. And also benefits from a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of Roasted Hazelnuts.

Tastes like: Forest floor earthiness, scalded milk, vegetable broth.

The Brass Tacks:

• Green Dirt Farm - Weston, MO

• Roquefort Style Blue

• Pasteurized Sheep

• Animal Rennet

• Farmstead Operation with the addition of milk from neighboring farms

• Season: Year Round

If you’re seeing these, you might want to give them a try, because who knows how long they’ll be around for! After a pretty lengthy mid-pandemic recipe testing period, we seemingly cracked the cracker code and began selling these babies at our regular farmers market to much acclaim! Maybe it’s the nutty sesame seed studdings, maybe it’s the extra crunch semolina flour provides, maybe it’s the cultured Banner Butter (probably this one), or maybe it’s the combination of all of these things. Whatever it is, they are really quite a perfect cheese pairing. Adding insult to injury, they’re very difficult to stop eating just on their own.

This is one of those products that we stress over selling out of before we can even think to set one aside for ourselves. Like all of the other things Eleanor and Gianpiero do- this pâté is immediately the best version of country style pork pâté that we could imagine. A simple expression of high quality ingredients made with care.

We’re going ape on this apricot jam from Ayako & Family out of Seattle! We try to keep our producers as close to home as possible, but thoughtfully crafted, exceptional products deserve, well, exceptions! Helmed by Alessandra Gordon, Ayako & Family partners with century-old, regenerative orchards in the Yakima region of Washington to preserve and accentuate perfectly ripe fruit. Along with massive, beautiful apricotiness, this hexagonal jar of bronze beauty has some warm, brown butter notes and citrus florality. It is an absolute legend alongside the tommes of our furthest-flung cheesemaker, Green Dirt Farm, Aux Arcs and Prairie Tomme!

What is cheese without a cracker? Well, yeah… it’s cheese. But isn’t a cracker such a lovely addition? A lovely little textural treat. These rye crisps are made from a danish style rugbrød that we make in the shop. The rye flour and cracked rye meal comes freshly milled from Anson Mills in Columbia, SC, and is leavened with our sourdough starter (named Levi) along with some dark beer, sunflower, flax, and pumpkin seeds. The baked off loaves then get sliced thinly and baked further into this super savory seeded crackers! They are especially good with stronger flavored cheeses.
