While we are sad to bid goodbye to the Heirloom Tomato Sandwich, we are thrilled to welcome the Buffalo Chicken Caesar! It’s the 2 sauces that make it sing.

Behold the winners and runners-up for our sticker design contest! The theme was Veggies in the City and we were stunned by the submissions. A selection of these will be at your nearest Clover later in September. Which is your favorite? 🎨

Last day for Heirloom Tomato Pesto Sandwich is Tuesday 9/8! Thanks Ethan and Marianna at CloverFIN for the beautiful sandwich and Ward's Berry Farm for heirlooms as big as a human head (sans bun).

Your job is to eat as many tomatoes as you can during tomato season. Our job is to facilitate that. Deal? 🤝

The Egg & Eggplant Sandwich is back by popular demand! Our area manager Chris said recently “We get questions about this every day.” The Egg & Eggplant, or as we lovingly call it, Egg & Egg, is our version of an Iraqi-Jewish sandwich. It has hummus, cucumber tomato salad, crisp, custardy circles of local eggplant (right now coming from Mokrzecki Farm in Hadley), a perfect hardboiled egg, and a drizzle of nutty tahini sauce. It was on our menu full-time for the first decade of Clover, but now we run it seasonally when we can get the best local eggplant.

A nice salad to take to a picnic, ripped straight from the headlines of our Zucchini Sandwich. Just beware: your friends at the picnic will be a little jealous they didn’t make it.

Can zucchini be the star of a sandwich?

Basil mayo, fried-then-glazed tofu from Heiwa Tofu, thinly sliced zucchini from Joe Czajkowski Farm in Hadley, Ma, pops of corn and shiso. Back on the menu for as long as we can get local zucs! So we ask - should zucchini be the star of a sandwich?

Behold the sauce menu. 🕐 Clockwise from noon you’ve got ketchup, herby buttermilk ranch, hot sauce, jalapeño cream cheese, tahini, honey sriracha glaze, mayo, and chicken sauce!
