The Dirt, Issue #6 Grocery Shopping, Rebuilt from the Ground Up

>>> Read the full issue here.

As summer edges toward fall, we’re reminded that food tells the story of the seasons. Every tote you bring home is more than just groceries — it’s a reflection of farmers working with the land, weather shaping harvests, and families (like yours) cooking meals that bring it all together.

What’s in Your Tote This Week

• Grass-Fed Beef & Pasture-Raised Chicken — the backbone of real family dinners.
• Seasonal Produce Spotlight:
• Heirloom Tomatoes: Sweet, imperfect, and perfect for a caprese or roasted sauce.
• Sweet Corn: Eat it fresh or char it on the grill for smoky sweetness.
• Garlic Bulbs: Harvested at peak — a staple that transforms any dish.
• Purple Majesty Potatoes: Vibrant and full of antioxidants, mash or roast them for a showstopper side.
• Elberta Peaches: Juicy, classic late-summer fruit.

From the Farm

At Spence Farm, Elberta peaches mark a tradition that runs generations deep — fruit picked at its peak, not its shelf-life.

At Bee Cool Honey Farm, salad greens are cut fresh each morning, a reminder that food can be simple and beautiful.

And at Bland Family Farm, potatoes grow in soil enriched the old-fashioned way — with patience, care, and attention.

When you choose Iron & Acre, you’re not just buying food — you’re voting for families like theirs.
