POLISH POTTERY PARTY KICKS OFF OUR 18TH ANNUAL POLISH POTTERY SALE

This is a party worth coming to! Our 18th Annual Polish Pottery sale kicks off with a great party on the 6th! Our sale begins at 5:00 pm but the fun begins while you’re waiting for our doors to open. There will be Polish dancers, some great accordion music, and maybe an opportunity to join in. When our doors open, we’ll have plenty of staff waiting to help you select your Polish Pottery, all at 20% off, of course, and we’ll treat you to some Polish food from Hamtramck after you shop.

As if that wasn’t enough reason to come in on Thursday evening, there are other perks! Joann and Rick Holton from European Design Imports will be there, talking about some of the history of Polish Pottery and showing off some of their antique pieces from their personal collection. So interesting!

We always have the best selection on Thursday, and you’ll find it much easier to park relatively close to the store, since Milford Memories starts on Friday and continues until Sunday evening. Also, anybody purchasing Polish Pottery during the party can enter our drawing for a piece we’re giving away! You never know, it might be YOU!

WILDFLOWER GARDEN: with Kelly Ventura

One thing we’re certain of is this—if Kelly paints it, it’s going to be beautiful. Her designs are all inspired by nature and featured in boutique shops nationwide. We’re so lucky to be able to call her a local artist. Wildflower Garden is her newest design and will soon be available on some gorgeous melamine serveware pieces, just in time for warmer weather and your spring and summer parties.

We’ll be celebrating the launch with a fun afternoon in the store. Kelly will be there signing her pieces. You’ll have a fun shopping experience along with some sparkling fruity lemonade as you stroll the store, and Kelly’s pieces will be here for purchase.

To assure that we have the pieces you want in stock, we’re doing pre-orders online. If you pre-order, you’ll also be entered into a drawing for a piece from the collection. Kelly will be doing a spring floral watercolor that evening and any of our guests purchasing one of her pieces will be entered into a drawing to win the painting.

We always have a great time when Kelly comes in.

We do Sidewalk Sales a bit differently at Acorn Farm. We show you some great stuff out on the sidewalk, but we want you to be able to get some savings on some of our regular merchandise in the store. When you shop at Acorn Farm during Sidewalk Sales, you’ll pull an ice pop out of the cooler when you bring your purchases to the register. The ice pop will have the amount of your discount written on the bottom! It works just like our coupons, and certain exclusions apply. This is a superb time to stock up on some of our Acorn Farm favorites.

Whether you're a single gal, a retired grandma, a stay-at-home mom, a corporate star, an artist, a bookworm, or an athlete...this night is for you. However you show up in the world, we believe there's something worth celebrating---and we can't wait to celebrate you.

We'll begin the evening with a refreshing Strawberry Margarita and a delightful appetizer, bursting with the colors and flavors of spring. From there, we'll take a short stroll to the North End Market, where the magic continues. There, you'll create your very own beautifully scented candle, poured into a charming teacup to take home. You'll design the fragrance from start to finish, blending notes that speak to you. Whether you love something soft and floral, bright and citrusy, or warm and cozy, you'll have expert guidance and the freedom to create something uniquely yours.

Then it's back to our Acorn Farm kitchen where the experience turns delicious.

You'll gather around for a relaxed mini cooking class featuring tender asparagus spears, enveloped in golden, flaky puff pastry with a delicate layer of velvety cheese. A vibrant, green goddess-inspired salad is the perfect accompaniment---fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Along the way, you'll pick up tips, techniques, and inspiration you can bring into your own kitchen all while enjoying great conversation and plenty of laughs.

To finish, we'll indulge in delicate tea cakes, beautifully glazed and adorned with edible blossoms--a sweet, elegant ending to a night filled with creativity and connection.

This is more than a class. It's a chance to slow down, savor the season, try something new, and share a meaningful, joy-filled evening with other incredible women.

Come sip, create, laugh, and sparkle with us!

This is going to be a blast! We’ve never ventured into the world of Sushi before but thanks to our new friend, Miyako Watanabe, we’re doing this beginner sushi class. Miyako will show us the ins and outs of correctly rolling up some incredible sushi. Miyako will instruct us on three different rolls (tempura, California, and a veggie roll) and you’ll choose two of them to roll yourself. You’ll eat or take home all the sushi you make, along with the sushi mat you’ll get with the class! We’ll be showing how to make the ginger dressing that is served in our American sushi restaurants, a simple miso soup, and we’ll have a little sweet treat to finish the meal. This beginner class will not be making any rolls with raw fish—so anybody that’s a first-time sushi eater should have no fear!

Try something delicious that you’ve never tried before! Impress everyone with your newfound sushi skills!

SOUP 101: From Stock to Spoon!
$65.00

Winter may be almost over but we’re still enjoying soup to take the chill off until spring has truly arrived.  Susan Bizon is the master of the stock pot.  She makes a wonderfully rich, flavorful chicken stock that you can use right away, or freeze for soups, stews, gravies, and more.  In this class, she’ll show us how to make that beautiful stock and turn it into a comforting, homemade chicken noodle soup.

Ever made egg noodles from scratch? Kathy has—using her grandma’s recipe. She’ll show you how to make them both by hand and with a machine.  They’re surprisingly simple and transform  a good bowl of soup into something truly special.

We’ll also make some light, crispy Parmesan Twists that pair beautifully with any bowl of soup. Alongside them, we’ll prepare a fresh spring salad filled with seasonal favorites—tender greens, asparagus, peas, radishes, and spring onions—tossed in a bright, lemony dressing.

For dessert, we’ll finish with a triple-berry cobbler topped with Kathy’s favorite crumble topping—she always keeps extra in the freezer to sprinkle over muffins, quick breads or even baked oatmeal.  It’s a wonderful recipe to have in your baking arsenal.
