Back to my old stomping grounds...

I'm heading out to Oakland for a quick visit. I can't wait to see my friends, and I'm looking forward to stopping by Adesso and Boccalone for some excellent cured meats. I also plan on drinking lots of coffee. Blue Bottle, Four Barrel, Dynamo, and of course the old standby Peet's. I will probably have a caffiene buzz that will last for a couple of weeks, which is good, because March is going to be a big month. Keep an eye on the site for a bunch of announcements including new farmers that we'll be working with, events were you can taste our products, and most importantly where you can buy our products!

p.s. I already spilled the beans about one of our new suppliers on the twitter feed over there -->

Buddy & Waylon

Before Willie & Waylon, there was Buddy & Waylon. Another great post from the Selvedge Yard.

Two weeks and counting

Two weeks into production and things are going well. It's been cold and wet, which has made humidity control a little challenging, but we figured it out and are plugging along. Here are some photos of salume in progress.

Pancetta


And, for good measure, some Copa di Testa.
