This weekend feels like a brief moment of respite for us all to catch a collective breath. Take a break from packing lunches, cleaning sports uniforms, and otherwise managing too many schedules, and take some time to relax with friends and family. Please note that, due to Labor Day, next week all chicken will be frozen rather than fresh.
The beautiful late summer blooms and sun remind us that it is honey-gathering season. We have incredible raw honeys this week, just in time for cooler evenings and soothing mugs of tea. Joining Champlain Valley Apiaries are Northwoods Apiaries deep, dark Buckwheat and fruity Knotweed, and a special wildflower honey from Invisible Apiaries and Old Friends Farm. Introducing our theme of self-care this week, honey is of course more than just a sweetener. From allergy support, to soothing sore throats and coughs, a spoonful of antioxidant-rich honey is both the sugar and the medicine.
Beki from Vermont Fermentation Adventures is on a mission to bring gut health to the masses, and she dropped off new batches Spring Greens (packed with foraged nettles, ramps and dandelions), Sunshine, and Celtic Krauts this week along with her wonderful Mighty Fine Sunshine Brine. Need a little spice with your kraut? Try some Firecracker Kraut to liven-up your next stirfry, salad or sausage!
Around here, the catbirds beat the humans to the ripening elderberries every time. Fortunately, Shelburne's Sisters of Anarchy are keeping a closer eye on things and have plenty of Elderberry and Elderberry & Aronia syrup as a result. With school back in session and people more likely to be indoors, viral waves are just a matter of time. Do what you can to boost your immune system, keep yours hands clean, and support your body with proper rest: we have lovely eye pillows and chamomile & lavender tea from Green Mountain Lavender, as well as some salts for a good long soak.
We work closely with regional farmers and producers and update our storefront every Friday with the freshest seasonal food. We order only what you want – we’re food waste free, from farm to table.
Shop until Midnight each Sunday. No need to check out; your weekly order will be submitted automatically and repeats unless you edit or suspend it. Did we mention there are no subscription fees? Sweet.
From the farm to your door! Choose home delivery in Eastern Massachusetts and NYC, or get your order at one of our neighborhood pickup sites in Greater Boston. So fresh has never been so easy.
At Farmers To You we know our farmers and producers personally. That’s why we can promise to provide fresh, high quality food produced on healthy farms. If you are not satisfied with our products or our service, we’ll provide a complete credit to you.

Here is our promise so that you can feel good about your buying decision.
We sell food grown in a regenerative and sustainable way. Our farmer partners care for your health, and for the land, animals and the environment. The farmers and producers share their precise farming and production practices.
We find the best foods available in New England from more than 100 local farmers and producers. It is hard to find other markets with this breadth of local, fresh and delicious vegetables, meats, cheeses and other foods.
Our partnering Farmers and Producers are some of the best in New England. Most are organically certified, and those who are not use sustainable practices. They are in this for the love of food, farming, and the art and craft of it all. Get them into a conversation about their crops or animals, their soil practices, or their land and be prepared for a lengthy and passionate discourse. They are masters of their craft and are all very excited about the nearly direct relationship they have with you. All of them feel it is essential that families know the people who produce their food. They are fully committed to the well being and health of your family.
We are on a mission to build a trustworthy and sustainable food system by connecting farmers and families. We carefully select quality, clean and flavorful foods and commit to a waste-free, safe and regenerative regional food system. Our farm-fresh food comes from the best New England farms.
