Beef Stew (a bit spicy) (Lake City/Meadowbrook)
Expired
Beef stew including potatoes, carrots, tomatoes & onions. Very heavy on the meat, slightly spicy, but quite tasty. Addition of more veggies would dilute the spice.

Lactose-Free Coffee Creamer (Lake City/Meadowbrook)
Expired
6 quarts each of French Vanilla & Sweet Cream; made with real cream. "Best by" 6/05/26, but the sugar content keeps these things fresh long past that date. I also use these for any recipe that calls for milk or cream & sugar; just decrease the amount of sugar you add. Makes great French toast, too! Please specify how many quarts you can use or share.

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.)

Gravenstein apples (Lake City/Meadowbrook)
Gifted
About 20# total. (You don't have to take all.) These are not fully ripe, but they still have flavor & are great for pies or applesauce... you just might need a little extra sugar. We do not spray our tree & only use organic compost to fertilize. 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).
