The co-op has become known for supplying our community with some of the finest and more affordable natural Christmas trees available, at both the East and Near West Side stores. “It’s always exciting when the trees are unloaded onto our patio,” says Jerome Gust, produce manager at the East store. “Everyone comments on the wonderful smell.” You’ll find fragrant Balsam Firs, holiday trees that are much desired for their short soft needles and lovely scent of pine, at the low price of $34.99. (“It’s nearly impossible to find this quality tree for under $50,” says Jerome.) Ours come from nearby Wisconsin, in two varieties – sheared, and unshaped. We also plan on offering Scotch Pines and White Pines, grown in French Lick Indiana, at Hillside Pines. “We’ve managed to keep the price on these very low, only $19.99,” says Jerome. We have some smaller Christmas trees, and tabletop trees of Rosemary, too. You’ll find Poinsettias in three colors, white, red, and pink. The wreaths we sell are made in-house by artist Julie Harries, from branches culled when we trim: prices on those begin at $9.99. Look for pine cone rosettes and wreaths, too. Holiday centerpieces from Metzger’s Farm are priced at $12.99. Local orange bittersweet often makes a limited appearance at this time of year. |

PIERCE PT is washed in a muscato wine and rolled in dried herbs from the Tomales Bay coastal region. The result is a delicious cheese, semi-firm yet creamy, complex yet never overpowering, that you'll recall longingly when it's out-of-season. PIERCE PT received a 1st Place award at the 2006 American Cheese Society Conference. 9-ounce round |
