21 July, 2017: Chris hasn’t slept in a few days, but he can finally rest, because he’s pulled off something amazing. And it’s something you can all taste today. We are baking our bread overnight. We’re thinking this will have a huge impact on freshness. It will also mean that the HUB is a lot cooler during the day. The… Read More
12 July, 2017: That’s Martina, who leads up Food Development at Clover, at Next Barn Over in Hadley. She was telling us about her grandmother’s recipe for a zucchini flower pancake. If you see her, ask her about it. The flowers are a precursor to the zucchini themselves. Zucchini is hitting the menu hard. Stop by for Zucchini Fritters after 2pm. We grate the… Read More

3 December, 2008: It’s not that we want it to be secret, but we haven’t been saying anything about organic. We want feedback on the food right now.

7 July, 2017: We have these beautiful chickpeas from Connecticut and Montana that we’ve been turning into a silky hummus. We’ve been inspired by some of the hummus shops in NYC. And we’re thinking they might be a really neat way to highlight local produce. We tasted a few at Food Dev two weeks back, took some of the feedback from that meeting,… Read More
7 July, 2017: Strawberry Lemonade, Strawberry Soda, Strawberries after 2pm each day with cream and sugar. Our strawberries are from Joe Czajkowski Farm in North Hadley. The farm used to grow tobacco, now it grows strawberries! The berries this year are really sweet and delicious but the season is short (2-3 weeks at the most). Come be a part of it while… Read More
5 July, 2017: People have been asking to buy bottles of water since 2008 when I opened the first truck. Those first weeks in October 2008 we had 1 sandwich. No sides. No drinks. It wasn’t a statement, I just didn’t have any to sell. But as we grew I didn’t feel good about selling water in a plastic bottle.… Read More

25 January, 2010: Saturday I took my kids to see the chickens that lay eggs for Clover. We’ve been getting our eggs from Chip-in farm in Bedford, MA. They are not organic, but they are free range.
