Though they can sometimes have a bad rap, brussels sprouts are currently an “it” vegetable for good reason! When prepared right, these little baby cabbages are so delicious and buttery, you’ll be clamoring for seconds. Cut them in half and try them roasted with a little salt, pepper, olive oil, and maple syrup. Or blanche them and fry with bacon. How could you go wrong there?

Finger Lakes Farms

Ithaca, NY

Based out of Ithaca, NY, Finger Lakes Farms is a young company, working diligently and responsibly to establish themselves in the sustainable farming world. As such, they hold themselves to the highest standards, not only pasture raising their animals and avoiding hormones and GMO additives, but also spending a lot of time and energy providing the highest standard of living for their chickens. They routinely have independent animal welfare specialists come in and inspect their farms to ensure the chickens are well, happy, and treated with respect. This means the chickens are performing at their peak, providing the best eggs imaginable. With their deep golden yolks, you'll see and taste the difference.

Store unwashed and untrimmed in a breathable bag in the crisper drawer of the fridge for up to four days. You can also give brussels sprouts a quick blanche for three to five minutes and freeze them for up to 12 months.
