Local Meal Delivery
Meal delivery kits are a growing industry, but Beth Richards of Local Baskit
has an edge with her local produce, quality seafood and grass-fed beef
from Miles Smith Farm. Using the motto “Loyal to Local,” she provides three
options: Choose from the Artisan Baskit with premium meats and seafood,
the Fresh Baskit with quality meats or the vegetarian Simple Basket. Kits
include ingredients for two or four servings, recipes, and suggested local
wine and beer pairings. They are shipped next-day UPS, delivered locally or can
be picked up at farmers markets in Keene and Bedford, Hermit Woods Winery
in Meredith or her Concord Marketplace. The marketplace is the site of tasting
parties, wellness events and, on September 21, a beer and cannoli tasting with
Concord’s Area 23. New this fall will be a soup and salad kit in partnership with
lēf Farms of Loudon. Check her website for Seacoast pick-ups. localbaskit.com

New Release
Djinn Spirits has announced the release of its latest product,
Henry Knox Gin. The result of three years of research into gin
production, Knox is a clear, light and fragrant example of
the American dry gin style. The required juniper is subdued
and balanced against a light grapefruit presence with a
cardamom and angelica base. This gin makes a lovely martini
and is great in a classic gin and tonic or any one of the
many traditional and modern gin cocktails. The distillery,
gift shop and tasting room are open weekends from 12-5
p.m. djinnspirits.com.
