This Week’s Menu and Thoughts

Welcome to our Turkey Trot, RavenHook style! Instead of running, we’ll be peeling apples, baking pecan and apple pies, toasting stuffing cubes, and shaping bread…all while dreaming of putting our feet up and enjoying a good meal with family at the finish line. This weekend we’re starting strong by releasing our first batch of Thanksgiving treats. Read on for our specials and come join us at one of our 15 farmers markets this week! (And on a more serious note, food needs in the community are mounting. If you want to help, or have food needs yourself, read to the end.)

First, let’s start with our show-stopping pies! We’re bringing back our Mile High Apple Pie and our Texas Pecan Pie. You can even get a slice of each if you’re on the fence about which one to serve for Thanksgiving. You can also get an even smaller taste of each with our Apple Pie Brioche and our Pecan Pie Bar. So delicious!

On the sweet side, we’re also introducing Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (V) and Hand-painted Maple Leaf Cookies! And we still have seasonal treats like Pumpkin Spice Cake and Nutty Apple Cake (V) that are great for breakfast or a mid-day snack. If you love chocolate, I highly recommend our Death by Chocolate Cherry Cookies (GF) and our Chocolate Babka!

On the savory side, we’re bringing back our Savory Pumpkin Bread (try it with cream cheese!) and Cranberrry Walnut Bread. This week’s Special Focaccia is topped with kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and parmesan cheese. And we have Stuffing Cubes made from a variety of our artisan bread for the yummiest stuffing!

Now back to food insecurity. Year in and year out, there are far too many people in the area facing food insecurity. Between the federal occupation, roller coaster of what’s happening with SNAP benefits, and government employees missing paychecks, the food needs in the area are quite dire. So sharing a few resources here, that perhaps you could use if you have food needs - and if you don’t, maybe you can support these groups.

First, FreshFarm is offering $30 at all of their markets for fresh fruits & veggies for anyone with SNAP AND for unpaid federal workers. Findhelp.org is a great resource where you can search by zip code and type of need (e.g., food, housing, etc.) to get customized resources. Food Rescue DC is a well-run group that we’ve worked with for many years. We’re also starting to support Good Trouble Mutual Aid’s food distribution in Columbia Heights on Saturdays. We’ve also heard great things about Food Justice DMV and the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network.

See you at the markets, Bread heads!
