Blue Wildrye Farm: Our Freedom Ranger Chickens spend their days outside – grazing, scratching, hunting for bugs, and exploring the grass under the watchful eyes of our livestock guardian dogs. They’re slow-growing and active, producing a bird with rich, old-fashioned chicken flavor, pleasantly firm meat, and a wonderful balance of light and dark meat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and fresh herbs from the market, let it rest, and then roast, grill or smoke it for a beautiful dinner. And don’t toss the carcass! The bones and trimmings make a deeply flavorful homemade chicken stock for your next cozy fall meal. Order ahead and we’ll have your selection waiting for you at the market— pre-order for Saturday Market by Thursday night on our website.

Robinson Confections: NEW SPICY FLAVORS ALERT*

Kiss of Fire begins with the comforting sweetness of our classic Soft Peanut Brittle, then Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers, and red chili flake quickly turn up the temperature. The result is a serious but controlled sweet heat, made for people who want their candy to bite back. 4/5 Heat. 1/2lb bag, $16.

Kiss of Death has an insane level of heat with three times the concentration of Carolina Reapers, Ghost Peppers, and red chili flake used in Kiss of Fire. This is the bag people buy because they love face-melting spicy candy and have something to prove. 5/5 Heat. 1/4lb bag, $12.

Both flavors are available this Saturday at the Hayden market.
