Everything’s better with butter. That’s the motto of Wendy French Barrett, Owner and Chief Butter Enthusiast of Wise Butter, and we completely agree! Wise Butter is small-batch, blended butter made lovingly by hand in Nashville, TN and we are thrilled to offer their goods in our seasonal farm boxes. They offer a Chipotle Butter that is delicious on a sweet potato, a Garlic Basil Wise Butter that packs a punch with traditional shrimp and grits and so much more! Add some Wise Butter to your box!

You’ve picked the perfect Christmas tree. Now it’s time to trim it! Beautiful ornaments don’t have to be store bought and original tree garlands were often made from natural items such as dried fruit, cinnamon sticks, popcorn, etc. Try this easy garland made of dried orange slices and ribbon!
You’ll need:
To make:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Cut the oranges into 2 cm slices. Blot the slices with paper towels to remove some of the moisture (this will help them dry faster). Place the orange slices on a cooling rack. Turn the slices every half hour for 2-3 hours.
Using the yarn needle, poke a hole near the top of the orange and run the ribbon through. That’s it! Time to decorate your tree!
