Uplands Pig Dinner – Sunday, November 6th (7:30pm)
We recently bought a whey fed, acorn finished pig from Upland’s Cheese (makers of Pleasant Ridge Reserve) with our friend Joel Chesebro. We are excited to be able to host a five course meal at our shop featuring this pig, as well as some of the other pleasures of this fall season.   The cost will be $40/person, with an optional $10 beer pairing. There are only 25 spots available – come by Bradbury’s and pay in advance (cash only) to reserve your spot.
Here is a rough draft of the menu we will be serving (it is subject to change based upon availability at farmer’s market and last minute inspiration):
- Pork and Pickle Starter Plate (including Green Peppercorn Mortadella, Lardo and Apple Toasts, Pork Pie, and some lovely pickled items)
- Salad of Mizuna, Black Walnuts, Maple Cured Bacon, Apples and a Maple Dijon Vinaigrette
- Cider Brined Pork Loin w/ Brussels Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes, and Candied Hickory Nuts
- Pleasant Ridge Reserve w/ Winker’s Honey, Whole Wheat Crackers and Tomato Preserves
- Pumpkin Galette w/ Bourbon Whipped Cream
Cold days, warm drinks.
With the shorter days comes a new menu, our current crepes are:
Bacon and carmelized onions with brie, apples, and a fried egg.
Veal sausage, kale, and pickled ramps with fried egg.
Summer squash and shallots with scrambled eggs and sungold tomatoes.
-and-
spiced pumpkin puree with apple cider reduction and whipped cream.
or stop in for a hot apple cider!

We will be open from 7:30am-2:30pm on Labor Day (Monday, September 5th).

Honduras Coprocael
Last spring Caleb, the head roaster at Kickapoo Coffee, took me on a trip with him to Honduras to scope out the coffee scene there.  We started in Siguatepeque, where we got to cup coffees from many of the coops in the country. After that we went throughout Honduras, visiting some of our favorites. The Honduras Coprocael comes from one of those farms, and Coop Coffees (which Kickapoo Coffee is part of) has started purchasing coffee from these guys. Needless to say, we are really excited to be able to serve it to you! Thanks Caleb and crew for the once in a lifetime trip!
