"The sky is a neighborhood, don't make a sound Lights comin'…read moreup ahead, don't look now" (Foo Fighters) We just found one of the sweetest little neighborhood grocery stores and delis we've ever had the pleasure of walking into. They are part butcher shop, part deli, part bakery, part grab and go entree place, part produce store and part grocery store. And their prices are beyond belief. We just spent only $28.35 on all of this (below prices are before tax): An 11-ounce Raspberry Butter coffee cake for $2.59 Two and a half pounds of meat stuffed peppers for $12.82 A pint of pasta fagioli soup for $1.99 2 pounds of baked cabbage leaves in tomato sauce for $3.79 14-ounces of potato cheese pierogis for $4.71 1.6 pounds of chicken thighs for $2.72 That's plenty of dinners, for next to nothing. Oh, and the sweet woman at the checkout said this as she rang up the Pierogis - "I hope you like them, I made them last night". Welcome to our rotation, Waniewski!!

The Austin Brothers Farm sells beef, pork and eggs at their on-site farm store. The store is a…read moretiny building with wall-to-wall freezers full of their amazing grass-fed meat. If you want to buy some, you should call ahead. For my first visit, I came by during their posted hours, and I read a sign to honk my horn to be helped. As Mr. Austin explained to me, he is around during the days/times posted, but he might working in one of their fields. (If he knows that you are going to visit, he'll plan to be in the area of the farm shop.) He was also kind enough to explain some basics about choosing meat for what I might want to cook. He was so helpful! I'd never bought meat directly from the source before, and I'd never set out to buy grass-fed beef before (but I've been getting more interested in knowing about food sources). Every weekday, I drive by the Austin's Farm on my way to work, and I can see how well the animals are kept, and how happy they are in their spacious fields. In a sense, it could seem morbid to see the animals that might end up on my table, but I'm actually glad to know that they are healthy cows who live good lives. And, I like knowing that my purchases directly help to keep a local farm family in business. Best of all, their food just tastes amazing!! I hope you'll stop by and give it a try!! (Or check their website for farmers' markets where they also sell their products.) Here's their info: Austin Brothers Valley Farm 270 West Street Belchertown, MA 01007 Open year round, or by appointment: 413-668-6843 Tuesday and Wednesday, 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM Thursday- Sunday, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Closed Mondays http://www.austinsfarm.com
