NOTE: WHY LARDER? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? roughly it means Cupboard “a place to store food”

The word comes from the latin word lardarium. It was how food (especially meat) was stored long ago before we had refrigeration. We use it…mostly just to be different and we like the word. Since we began years ago here in the Valley as a Cheese & Charcuterie company. I kind of felt like Charcuterie (means cured meat or a store selling cold cooked meats) it was appropriate for what we were making. Explanation

Charcuterie is a French term that refers to a way of preserving meat by curing it. This method was developed before refrigeration. Charcuterie boards often include cured meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and breads. 

The term “charcuterie” can also refer to a delicatessen that specializes in selling cured meats and meat dishes. The people who make charcuterie are called charcutiers. 

History

The practice of charcuterie dates back to the 15th century in France. At that time, charcutiers were organized and ran shops that were permitted to make, cook, and sell pork products. Today, charcuterie is made from a variety of meats, including pork, game, and poultry.

    Curious as to that location for your farmhouse breakfast place. Have you looked at the suites by Grocery Outlet? They keep that place tidy and clean.

      I live in the Ranchos and need a shared kitchen for my local catering company and food trailer/truck. I love the people in the Ranchos. I researched for quite a while and realized the best place was close to home and providing all the amazing people with great coffee and food. If we are successful and can expand in a couple years. Maybe we will move over that way, but no plans anytime soon.

      Thanks for asking.

    Welcome to the neighborhood.

      Thank you Chery. I actually have lived in this area for several years. I love it here. I just thought all of us here in Ranchoes seriously needed good coffee and food.

  5. Marcella on May 31, 2024 at 3:46 pm

    Best of luck on your venture. I look forward to some goodies.

    • Valley Larder on June 27, 2024 at 2:24 am

      Thank you Marcella. It has been a very busy first week. Hopefully once we get one more cook we will have incredible pastries coming out of our kitchen.

    I love your story and can’t wait to meet you and support your new venture. Our area is ripe for a cafe such as yours, and I think you will do very well.
