Nansletter 08/03/2021

Ahhh..August (cue the Taylor Swift song). The last month of summer is finally here, but lowkey we are ready for fall already. Anyone else? Anyways, this week we are deep diving into late summer faves and as always giving menu item recommendations. We'll also be telling you all about what is happening in the Nan's Market universe. Let's dive in! 

Featured Products:

62 Soaps

We love using this space to introduce y'all, our Nan Fans to local businesses worth supporting. This week we want to feature these AMAZING summer scents from 62 Soaps, run right here in Stow, MA. 62 Soaps are cold-processed which means that there is no heat involved in the making of these soaps: this requires them to take longer to set but in our opinion, it's worth it. Danielle from 62 has very unique soap scents: she has even made a Liquid Sunshine soap for us! This batch she just dropped off has scents like Peach Nectar, Blood Orange, Pineapple Sage, and Beach Day. And the best part is that they are just as beautiful as they smell. Come check them out in the barn and follow 62 Soaps on Instagram for more info!

Maine Root Sodas

Drink delicious soda while also doing good? Sign us up! That's what Portland-based Maine Root is all about! We're sure you've seen their sodas all around town, but are so excited to announce you can also get them here at Nan's! Maine Root is made with Brazilian cane sugar and has so many mouthwatering flavors that have their roots in New England- AND they give back to their community in Brazil by investing into hospitals and schools all the time. What's not to love? Some of our favorite summer flavors are blueberry, mandarin orange, and lemon lime! (And coming in the fall: pumpkin pie!) Drink them on their own, mix them into a delicious concoction, or add vanilla ice cream for a funky float. We don't judge.

Featured Menu Items

Farmhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies

We are the types of people that, even after eating a filling and delicious meal, always crave a little something sweet. These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect fix for said craving...salty, sweet, gooey, crunchy yet soft. If you've had them, you understand. These taste like the homemade chocolate chip cookies that your mom or grandma would make on snow days and will nourish your heart as well as your stomach.If you haven't- what are you doing?! Go order them now! (Just kidding, lol. We were being dramatic.)

Meat & Potatoes Grain Bowl

Okay, we need to talk. You need to try the flank steak on your next grain bowl. It's tender and flavorful with a hint of spice (that's from the chimichurri we marinate it in) and is the perfect compliment to any of our veggies. In this bowl combo, we have it paired with the spicy kale salad, roasted sweet potatoes, spiced cucumbers and a mix of tahini and tzatziki sauce. This is a flavor explosion waiting to happen...are you going to try this?

Wine of the Week:

Field Recordings’ Freddo

We know y'all love Field Recordings, and here is one of our new faves. This is Sangiovese like you've had it before. "FREDDO" is a carbonically macerated expression of the classic Tuscan grape, drawing out notes of banana bubblegum and tutti-frutti. Get a hard chill on this (the label changes color when it's ready to go...) and crush this rare gem while you're catching some of the final summer rays this weekend.
