ORDER FORMS DELIVERY INFO & CALENDAR INGREDIENTS REVIEWS

Not enough time to cook? Just learning about traditional foods? At Traditional Foods Kitchen we offer limited quantities of a selection of wholesome carefully-prepared traditional foods (or modern foods using nutrient-dense ingredients) that are available exclusively for pick-up and home delivery. All items are prepared fresh, so we usually need a few days to get your order together. Of course we also offer cooking classes and downloadable health and recipe guides so you can learn how to make all these foods for yourself and your family!

Taste preferences

While most of our products will taste familiar and yummy on the first try, please keep in mind that some of our items (especially the fermented foods) may seem strange to you at first. We cannot offer refunds for items you just don't "like" the taste of. Of course, if something is wrong with the product we will replace it. Plan on offering your taste-test items to a friend or family member in case it doesn't turn out to be what you had in mind (though we recommend giving it a few tries as you will grow to like many of these new foods with time). You can always make special requests based on your taste preferences and any dietary restrictions (i.e. no garlic, no sunflower seeds), and we will do our best to accommodate.

Special diets

All of our items are gluten-free and grain-free; none of the foods we prepare come in contact with gluten or are prepared with gluten-containing ingredients (however, the kitchen is not gluten-free). For individuals avoiding meat products, many of our items are vegetarian-friendly; check the notes underneath each listing. Our only purely vegan items are kombucha, fried apple butter, deodorant, tooth powder, and coconut oil.

Our ingredients

We source as many of our ingredients as we can from organic, local sources, and also rely on Wilderness Family Naturals, Whole Foods, and local health food stores for some items. We do our best to use organic ingredients (or better) whenever humanly possible, and for animal foods we use only pastured/grass-fed unprocessed products. Read about all our ingredients here.

Shelf life

• broth -- keep frozen for long-term storage; once thawed, reboil before using and use within 7 days for chicken or beef, and within 5 days for fish

• blueberry muffins -- good in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 days; best reheated in a toaster oven and served with butter or our sweet or plain yogurt cheese

• meat products -- same as all other meat products (keep frozen for long-term, use within 2-3 days after thawing)

• yogurt & yogurt cheese -- use your sense of smell and taste if you keep these past a week. The yogurt will likely last much longer, but if it or the cheese develops a fizzy slightly beer-like flavor (a little like sourdough starter, a fermenty sort of taste, or a slight vomit-like flavor) then discard and do not eat. There will be bacteria present that are likely to cause stomach cramps and maybe vomiting/diarrhea (not "bad" bacteria, but bacteria that the average American digestive system doesn't handle well).

• whey -- lasts at least 6 months, probably longer. Discard if a fermenty/fizzy smell or flavor develops.

• fermented veggies & veggie tonic -- the tonic lasts indefinitely. The veggies may get softer with time, but generally they are good for a few months. The flavor may get stronger and more sour with time.

• pate -- open and break the butter seal within 1 week of delivery, and use within 3-5 days (best within 3 days). You can scrape off the part that has been exposed to air to get to the part that's still good, if using longer than 3 days.

• ginger ale & kombucha -- these last indefinitely (don't go "bad") but will get less sweet with time; keep in fridge

• beet kvass -- should also last indefinitely. If a strange taste develops don't use, but I've never had this happen.

• ketchup -- best within 2 weeks. If a mold or film forms, scrape off the top.

• mayo -- best within 2-3 weeks. A fermenty fizzy flavor may develop if kept a long time, and it won't taste as good. But not necessarily harmful (has never made me sick and I'm pretty sensitive). Will eventually grow mold.

• chocolates & crackers -- both last a really long time! Keep the chocolates in the freezer, and the crackers in a kitchen cupboard. I have had crackers that still taste good after 2 weeks, but you will probably eat them up much more quickly. In summer months they may taste stale more quickly.
  

• vanilla pudding -- 5 days max! It will start to separate after this time.

• BBQ sauce -- lasts indefinitely in fridge

• butternut custard -- best within about 5 days
  

• apple butter -- the coconut oil preserves this pretty well, but you will probably use it up fast

• quinoa pilaf -- good for 1 week or more in the refrigerator (I have never had this go bad, so not sure what the signs would be)
  

• refried beans -- will probably keep no more than 5-6 days in the refrigerator; a sour, off taste/smell will develop
  

• coconut oil, lard, bacon fat -- last indefinitely

Traditional Bone Broths

Traditional bone broth (chicken)

Made from pasture-raised chicken and chicken feet, raw apple cider vinegar, organic carrots, organic celery, onions, fresh home-grown thyme, organic bay leaves, Celtic sea salt, and filtered water. This broth is the finest in flavor, nutritional value, and health benefits. Store it in your freezer so you have it on hand for colds and illness, or use liberally in soups, sauces, gravies, and for cooking grains, beans, and pot roast. Our broth is full of minerals (plus healthy fats and protein), gelatinous when refrigerated (a sign it's good!), and easily digested and assimilated. It also has a "protein-sparing" quality, which means it helps a small amount of animal protein go farther, nutritionally-speaking. Traditional bone broth should be a crucial part of your diet, and must be particularly emphasized if you do not consume grass-fed dairy products. Broth comes frozen in a quart- or pint-size plastic container, or in liquid form in a glass jar available upon request ONLY WHEN PICKING UP FROM ME ON MY OFF WEEKS ($2.50 additional jar deposit per quart, $2.00 additional jar deposit per pint).

Health indications: bone & joint injuries, pain, and stiffness ~ arthritis ~ immunity ~ poor digestion ~ digestive disorders ~ recovery from cold or flu ~ weak bones & teeth ~ osteoporosis/osteopenia ~ low appetite/food aversions ~ mineral deficiencies ~ post-partum recovery ~ inflammation

Traditional bone broth (fish)

The most therapeutic of our broths, this one is made using heads, flesh, and bones from fresh wild-caught fish, raw apple cider vinegar, organic carrots, onions, white wine, organic thyme and bay leaves, Celtic sea salt, and filtered water. This broth is rich in minerals that nourish the whole body, and is especially good for the eyes and for thyroid health. It has a rich but delicate flavor and is excellent consumed as an accompaniment to meals or a warm beverage "snack," as a base for soups and seafood stews, for poaching fish, or for making sauce reductions for seafood dishes.

DAIRY

Cream-top yogurt

Our luscious, creamy yogurt is made using fresh unprocessed organic milk from grass-fed cows, and is cultured for a full 24 hours, making it suitable for individuals on the GAPS diet (at the appropriate stage) and others who are sensitive to lactose and casein. Easily-digested, probiotic, creamy, nourishing, and very mild-tasting. The only ingredients we use are milk and our starter yogurt, which contains live active cultures. All commercial yogurt is fermented no longer than 12 hours (usually less); the 24-hour culturing period makes ours unique and incredibly digestible. Our yogurt is cultured in glass and comes in the jar we make it in. Lasts great in the refrigerator, but you will want to eat it right up! Top with our cinnamon apple butter for a sweet treat, enjoy it plain, or serve as a savory sauce combined with herbs, lemon, cucumber, olive oil, and sea salt.

Health indications: vitamin A & D deficiency ~ poor gut flora ~ poor digestion ~ calcium deficiency ~ lactose intolerance ~ GAPS issues ~ digestive disorders ~ cancer prevention

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

GREAT FOR BABIES (OVER 6 MONTHS). MAY BE BLENDED WITH RAW PASTURED EGG YOLK, EXTRA CREAM (OPTIONAL), AND WHEY (SEE BELOW) TO MAKE A NOURISHING BEVERAGE FOR KIDS (CONSUME WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND KEEP COLD).

Beverages

Organic kombucha

Our kombucha is just a bit sweet with a slight floral flavor, and has a pleasant, almost spicy, kick to it. It is brewed using a SCOBY "mushroom" or "mother," organic black tea, and organic dehydrated cane sugar juice. Long prized in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world, "tea kvass" (kombucha) is becoming popular in the West for its powerful detoxifying benefits. The SCOBY "mushroom" converts the tannins in tea into glucuronic acid, the most powerful detoxifier available for consumption; the sugar is used by the SCOBY for food. The end products contains no caffeine and is very low in sugar; however, it may be allowed to sit at room temperature for a few days to produce a completely sugar-free vinegar-like beverage. Use medicinally for all types of digestive ailments, or enjoy as a refreshing beverage with meals (we recommend diluting it). Our kombucha comes in glass Pellegrino bottles (25.3 oz).

Health indications: poor gut flora ~ cancer prevention ~ immunity ~ upset/sour stomach ~ gas ~ bloating ~ indigestion

Special diets: vegan, vegetarian

25.3 oz. bottle: $5.00 + $1.00 refundable deposit

Ginger ale (lactofermented)

Spicy, lightly carbonated, and mildly sweet, our ginger ale is made using a process called lactofermentation, which means it is rich in enzymes and probiotic benefits. One of the "original" sports drinks, lactofermented ginger ale is electrolyte-rich, which means it is actually more hydrating than water and the perfect beverage for replenishing fluids lost during strenuous exercise. We make ours using raw honey, fresh ginger root, fresh-squeezed lime juice, whey, filtered water, a pinch of Celtic sea salt, and glass-bottled Pellegrino to dilute it to the perfect level of sweetness (although we recommend further dilution for kids and adults sensitive to sweeteners). Ginger ale comes in a glass 25.3-oz. Pellegrino bottle.

Health indications: dehydration ~ heat sensitivity/heat stroke ~ strenuous exercise ~ poor digestion

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

25.3 oz. bottle: $7.50 + $1.00 refundable deposit

Beet kvass (lactofermented)

We can say with confidence that this is the best beet kvass around! This traditional and refreshing Russian beverage is the perfect tonic for detoxifying and cleansing the liver, and an excellent antidote for morning sickness. In Europe it is used in cancer therapy.

We make ours the old-fashioned lactofermented way, with fresh beets, Celtic sea salt, whey, filtered water, and garlic cloves. The rich purple color will delight you as much as the fresh, salty, slightly sour flavor, and the wonderful probiotic benefits -- enjoy a few ounces morning and evening and reap the health benefits! Or use in place of vinegar in salad dressing, and as a topping on soups.

Health indications: cleansing/detoxifying ~ morning sickness ~ digestive regularity ~ poor gut flora ~ poor digestion ~ cancer therapy

GREAT FOR BABIES (OVER 6 MONTHS). INTRODUCE IT EARLY AND EVEN YOUR TODDLER WILL LOVE IT!

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

25.3 oz. bottle: $7.00 + $1.00 refundable deposit

Veggie medley tonic (lactofermented)

The perfect tonic for upset stomach, hyperacidity, abdominal cramping, and general gastrointestinal discomfort. Great for people who have tummy trouble from going too long without eating! Enjoy a few ounces 15 minutes before each heavy meal and you will have greatly improved digestion (an essential part of each meal for blood type A people, who tend to produce less stomach acid).

This tonic is a natural byproduct of our Vegetable Medley; it contains juices from cabbage, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower, as well as sea salt and whey.

Health indications: upset stomach ~ hyperacidity ~ gastrointestinal discomfort ~ abdominal cramping ~ poor digestion of fats & protein

GREAT FOR BABIES (OVER 6 MONTHS).

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

Pint: $3.00 + $2.00 refundable deposit

Condiments & SAUcES

Coconut-olive mayonnaise (lactofermented)

A luscious yellow mayonnaise with the perfect texture and consistency, made from a 70-30 blend of expeller-pressed organic coconut oil (no coconut flavor) and organic cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. Coconut oil offers superior immune-boosting properties due to its high lauric acid content, and raw olive oil is an excellent source of vitamin E, oleocanthal, and polyphenols. Our mayo also includes pastured eggs and egg yolks, whey from pastured milk, Celtic sea salt, and fresh lemon juice. Perfect for sandwiches, deviled eggs, dips, and dressings, or as a nutrient-dense treat straight from the jar! Our mayonnaise is lactofermented and boasts probiotic benefits. Comes in a glass pint-size jar.

Health indications: fatty acid deficiency ~ vitamin E deficiency ~ low immunity ~ cravings for sweets and/or fried foods

GREAT FOR BABIES (OVER 6 MONTHS) AND TODDLERS.

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

Pint: $12.00 + $2.00 refundable deposit

Ketchup (lactofermented)

Surprisingly delicious, satisfying, and amazingly perfect as a substitute for the commercial varieties, this ketchup is made using organic tomato paste (from a jar, not a can), whey, Celtic sea salt, Rapadura, cayenne pepper, fresh garlic, traditional fish sauce (for that savory-salty flavor), and a little filtered water for the perfect consistency. Our ketchup offers probiotic benefits and comes in a pint-size glass jar. This is a must for any household with kids or adults who love ketchup! Serve with fresh potatoes sliced and fried in pastured chicken fat (schmaltz), or add some prepared horseradish and use for dipping shrimp.

Health indications: because store-bought ketchup (even organic) isn't good for you!

Special diets: gluten-free

Pint: $12.00 + $2.00 refundable deposit

Lactofermented vegetable medley

A delicious, tangy mix of sliced cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and green beans. Our medley is fermented for 5-7 days before refrigeration. We use only fresh vegetables, whey, Celtic sea salt, and filtered water. These salty-sour veggies are delicious with meats and eggs, and assist with digestion of cooked foods, particularly animal proteins. Enjoy the probiotic-rich juice in small amounts as a digestive tonic. *Note: colors fade slightly during the fermentation process; vegetables pictured have just been packaged.

Health indications: poor gut flora ~ GAPS issues ~ difficulty digesting meats, eggs, fats ~ immune health

Special diets: gluten-free, vegetarian

GREAT FOR BABIES (OVER 6 MONTHS) - LIQUID ONLY PLEASE, AND IN SMALL AMOUNTS.

Quart: $11.00 + $2.50 refundable deposit

Barbecue sauce

Trying to eat healthy without giving up delicious barbecue? If so, it's definitely time to toss those store-bought bottles of sauce which are filled with unhealthy sweeteners, refined salt, and additives of all kinds. Our special barbecue sauce is made using only natural sweeteners (a blend of local maple syrup, raw local honey, and organic blackstrap molasses), herbs and spices, organic Worcestershire sauce, raw apple cider vinegar, Celtic sea salt, and lard from pastured pigs. It all comes together as if by magic to create a spicy-sweet sauce that's mouth-wateringly delicious on ribs (we recommend pastured pork spare ribs). *Note: heat the sauce gently before serving by placing the jar on the back of a hot stove or in a pot of water over very low heat. Because it contains no additives or preservatives it may have a thin layer of fat on top when chilled.

Special diets: gluten-free

Pint: $12.00 + $2.00 refundable deposit

Vanilla pudding

This classic treat is made using nutrient-dense ingredients for a healthier pudding option: grass-fed unprocessed milk, pastured egg yolks, organic fair trade vanilla extract, organic cornstarch, and grass-fed butter. To sweeten it we use Rapadura, a traditional unrefined form of sugar that is naturally high in iron, which creates a deliciously rich flavor reminiscent of butterscotch.

Raw cacao treats

Many people have told us this is the best chocolate they've ever had! These rich chocolate treats are incredibly dark and dense, and outrageously delicious. With only three ingredients (organic raw cacao, raw local honey, and expeller-pressed organic coconut oil) they will amaze you with their simplicity and make your health-conscious taste buds rejoice. (Since they're very rich and contain small amounts of caffeine, we do recommend moderation.) Each pint of treats contains about 3/4 cup of raw cacao, which is naturally rich in magnesium. STORE IN FREEZER. May be melted to produce a rich chocolate sauce. *Note: these treats do not contain any coconut flavor as we use a semi-refined coconut oil with a neutral flavor.

Health indications: magnesium deficiencies ~ chocolate cravings ~ low immune function

Pastured lard (pig fat)

Pure white, with a mild flavor perfect for multipurpose use! At our house we use lard to fry everything from meatballs to pork chops; also excellent for potatoes, and unbeatable for refried beans. Pastured lard is one of our best sources of vitamin D (second only to cod liver oil!), and boasts at least 1100 IUs of this essential fat-soluble vitamin per tablespoon.

Half pint: $3.00 + $1.50 refundable deposit

Bacon fat

Home rendered from organic and/or pastured organically-raised bacon. Use for frying oat cakes (form leftover congealed oatmeal into patties), for French toast or pancakes, in savory baked goods, and for frying or sauteing other foods where a slight salty/bacon flavor is desirable. We think bacon fat is unbeatable for frying cabbage! Not quite as high in vitamin D as pastured lard, but still a good source of this important fat-soluble vitamin.

Coconut oil

A neutrally-flavored expeller-pressed organic coconut oil. Great source of lauric acid for immune health, and fabulous for fighting parasites, fungi, and yeasts in the gut. Add to smoothies, use for low-temperature sauteing and frying, and serve as a topping on hot whole grain breakfast cereal. Perfect for frying apples and pears with cinnamon.

Body Care

Coconut oil deodorant

At long last -- a natural deodorant that really works, even for men! And even better, it's made entirely of edible ingredients, so it presents absolutely no risk to your health. Perfectly safe and non-irritating even when applied after shaving, and guaranteed to be suitable for nursing mothers (it won't negatively affect breastmilk). We use organic coconut oil, organic arrowroot powder, and baking soda -- that's it. Comes in a 1 oz. glass jar; should last about one month for two people. In temperatures above 76 degrees F, the coconut oil will liquefy, so you will need to give it a quick stir with your finger before applying. The rest of the time it has the perfect consistency. *NOTE: use sparingly only on armpit areas where hair grows, rub in thoroughly, and allow the deodorant to dry before dressing to avoid any risk of creating white marks on the inside of clothing.

Natural tooth powder

Made from baking soda, Celtic sea salt, and peppermint essential oil, our tooth powder will get your teeth clean safely and leave your mouth refreshed. Mild and gentle enough even for highly sensitive teeth. Equivalent to about 1/4 cup of powder, or about 2.4 ounces dry weight, this amount will last a small family for a few months. *Note: wet your toothbrush, then sprinkle on a pinch of the powder. It will taste quite salty at first, but you will become accustomed to the taste. Remember that getting your teeth really clean requires the action of bristles on teeth for several minutes (we have seen great results with the Oral B Contours toothbrush).

Health indications: tooth sensitivity
