ORDER YOUR HOLIDAY PROTEIN
Have You Heard About The Bird(S)?
Happy Spooky Season Y’all! The mist is gathering ever thicker in the valleys, and the trees are in full fall regalia on the highways and byways. Turnip couldn’t decide which costume to wear this year, so she seized on the abundance of halloween festivities and went with both her skeleton costume and her turkey costume! Ever the planner, she wants to know what your plans are for upcoming holiday feasts. She beseeches you to take advantage of the Holiday Protein Pre-order system this year, which gains you access to discounts per pound that aren’t available off the shelf! Read on to learn more about all the options, then head to the live website to reserve your main events!
First of all, we have some excellent turkey options this year. The classic standard is Mary’s Organic Turkeys. At $5.49 per lb, they are the most affordable holiday protein option from the Corner on a per pound basis. They also have the greatest range of size options. They are also the only protein that is being offered in a non-frozen state. Finally, they are raised humanely and on a certified organic diet.
For a more indie, regenerative option, we have (new this year) turkeys from Tailfeather Farm in Walla Walla! These guys are truly pasture raised and fed locally milled Palouse grains. They have one solid size range, 16-20 pounds. $9.99 per lb.
For the true bio-regionally appropriate option, we have plenty of Sockeye Salmon Sides available from Katfish Salmon Co. Fished in Bristol Bay on boats no longer than 32 feet and crews of 3-4, these bad boys are fully traceable from bay to table. Clocking in at 1-1.25 pounds per side, they take significantly less oven time than a turkey, but look just as gorgeous on the platter.
If keeping it as local as possible is your top priority, look no further than a whole Duck from Spring Rain Farm, or a Boneless Beef Roast from West Brook Angus! Both proteins raised to the highest standards right here in Chimacum. A duck will run you much less than a turkey, and still plate up beautifully for a smaller group gathering. Ditto the Beef Roast, and there is something so comforting and hearty about a melt in your mouth slow-roasted chuck. Ducks weigh in around 5-6 pounds, and the Beef Roasts around 3 pounds. Keep it local (and regal) with these fabulous options for holiday proteins.
Last but not least, if you are in the mood for pork, we have you covered with a Hempler’s Honey Ham! Honey Hams are fully cooked/cured and smoked over natural hardwoods, and sweetened exclusively with organic honey and brown sugar. And leftover Honey Ham is extremely versatile, ripe for quiches and sandwiches alike.
All in all, we are proud of the spread we’ve got on tap for your holiday meals, and are stoked to pass along some discounts on a per pound basis to those of you that take the care and time to pre-order with the Corner. Thanks for keeping us in your plans and on your tables this year.
