Fruit Exchange- Fruit Needed

Fruit trees are great to have but can sometimes produce more fruit than you need. If you find you have too much fruit on your hands, please give us a call. We will come and harvest your excess fruit to share at our Wrigley neighborhood Co-op Food Exchange. Your fruit will be shared among neighbors and friends. Thank you for helping us keep food local.

Heirloom Pig Butchery Class & Charcuterie Workshop

Heirloom Pig Butchery Class & Charcuterie Workshop

This is a workshop for cooks, chefs or passionate gourmands that would like to learn more about breaking down whole pigs & primal cuts so they can make their own Bacon, Lardo, sausage, Coppa, Pancetta and more. We will have a whole Mangalitsa (Wooly Pig) for the demo along with a whole shoulder of Becker Lane Organic Berkshire Acorn finished Pork. We will break down the Mangalitsa to primal cuts and discuss what to do with each part. Basic recipes for curing pork will be covered as well as smoking techniques. We will only have room for 10 people at this workshop and there is a $60 fee. We will be able to taste some Mangalitsa Bacon, Pancetta & Coppa at the end of the class.
