NEW: Creamline Milk from Strafford Organic Creamery

Strafford Organic Creamery raises a herd of 70 Guernsey cows who graze on grass for 12 hours a day to make a most flavorful and high butterfat milk. The glass bottles are filled at the farm, and it is a rare opportunity to find organic milk bottled in glass! The farm only produces enough milk to sell at co-ops and smaller stores. Available now at the 4th Street Food Co-op.

NEW: Organic Avocado oil in bulk!

Exciting news—we now have Organic Avocado Oil available in bulk for just $13.11/lb! 🥑

Bring your own bottle and try our newly arrived bulk, organic (USDA-certified), expeller-pressed, delicious avocado oil! Avocado oil is great on salads, but also has a high smoke point so it’s good for sautéing, frying, and baking.

To make room for this new addition in our stainless steel dispenser, we’ll be keeping the bulk Apple Cider Vinegar in its jar. If you think you might need a little extra help with filling it up, feel free to do it over the sink. No worries at all—I’d do the same!

Have you tried our New-York made, organic pasta available in bulk, by Sfoglini?

Sfoglini pastas combine Italian technique and American ingredients. They are made in New York’s Hudson Valley with organic grains grown and milled on North American farms, bronze die extruded (resulting in a rough texture that makes the sauce stick) and slow dried (to preserve flavors and nutrients). Sfoglini was founded in Brooklyn in 2012 before moving to Coxsackie, New York, in 2018. More info and recipes: https://www.sfoglini.com/pages/recipes
