March 30 and 31, 2016: Spring, and a pop up!

We’re excited about next week’s menu for two reasons: it’s spring, and time for lamb meatballs, artichoke salad and chickpeas, turmeric sesame yogurt, and dandelion greens; and we’re doing our very first pop-up, at Neighbor’s Corner in San Francisco (for real this time)!


 
We’ll be delivering crate orders as usual, on Thursday, March 31, between 5:00 and 8:00 pm, to Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. On Wednesday, March 30, we’ll be at Neighbor’s Corner from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm selling elements from the menu to go, as part of their pop-up series. 10% of all sales from Neighbor’s Corner will benefit Nihonmachi Little Friends. You can read more about Neighbor’s Corner here--they are a wonderful new neighborhood hub, beautifully curated local market, and café. You can pre-order what you'd like to pick up there on Wednesday, and we'll have it ready for you, or just come by!
 
Crates are available in a regular size, and a small. We find that the food in any given crate lasts for several meals, for a range of about two people with a small vegetarian crate, to as many as eight with a regular all-in. The vegetarian version contains the artichoke and chickpea salad, the omnivore’s contains the lamb meatballs, and the all-in contains both.

Lamb and pork meatballs, Greek oregano, green garlic
