Free: Shredded mild cheddar (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Gifted 5# shredded mild cheddar cheese; good stuff! Expires 18Dec 2026. You need room in your freezer for this bag: since it's shredded, it doesn't keep as well as block cheeses.

20d

Free: Lactose-free fat-free milk (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Expired Past due date, but it is ULTRA-PASTEURIZED & 0% fat, so keeps far beyond "expiration" date 9/13/26.

105d

Free: More Gravenstein apples (Lake City/Meadowbrook) Gifted Another 20-30 pounds of Gravensteins. We never spray our trees & only use organic compost as fertilizer. These are windfalls, so not perfect, but ideal for pies & sauce. Have a tart-sweet flavor. You cannot buy Gravensteins at the store, as they have a short harvest season & do not store well in commercial cold storage. So get them while you can! (Please specify how many pounds & when you can pick up.)

Please specify how many pounds you need & how you'll put them to use. Oh, yes, please give date & 2-hour window for pickup. I'll start checking for responses at 1pm today (Monday).
