Calef's picnic bench

We love a good picnic. Whether its a simple meal outside or a more extravagant experience. Calef’s can help you pack the perfect picnic. And this August, to celebrate Picnic month, we are sharing some of our favorite picnic ideas.

A simple deli picnic

Order ahead and grab everything you need before heading out to your favorite outdoor spot. Even if that is enjoying one of our lovely picnic benches.

We offer easy online ordering so you can get everything you need for an easy meal from sandwiches to drinks to chips and dessert. The hardest part will be deciding what to order!

It’s also super simple to create a meal from sides and deli favorites right on our deli site. We offer small containers of Deli Favorites like a sharp cheddar chunk or pepperoni chunk, Effie’s corn biscuits, whole sour or dill pickles available in individual portions or a pail, ideal for sharing. Pair these delicious snacks with your favorite crackers, chips, or bread. And maybe consider adding a small container of our homemade salads from our deli case. Choose from potato and egg salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad, plain chicken salad, or cranberry walnut chicken salad.

Adding something sweet!

At Calef’s there is no shortage of sweet treats. Make a quick stop at Candyland to create a mixed bag of crowd favorites. Or select something from our finer, gourmet candy and fudge counter. A sweet treat is not only a great way to end a meal, its the nice treat for younger picnic friends.

Other Picnic Essentials!

To properly enjoy a picnic, its best to be prepared. Make sure to have some bug spray and sunblock depending on where you are heading! But most of all have fun and enjoy the company.

Calef’s Soups, Perfect for Fall and Cooler Weather

As the cooler weather approaches here in New England, we tend to shift our menus from seasonal summer dishes and lighter fare to soups, rich flavors, and warm homemade baked goods. The change in season also brings a change in schedules, often relying on quick and healthy meals or low and slow dinners. Our Calef’s soups and bread mixes are the perfect meal solution. Both are easy to make, have lots of great flavors and require ingredients that may just be in your fridge already. With lots of delicious soup options and the potential to tweak mixes to fit exactly what you are craving. And best of all, our mixes are made with high quality ingredients, making them a healthy choice compared to other quick meal alternatives.

Cheers to July 4th with Festive Drinks!

The holiday weekend is almost here and we have fun drinks for the entire family. From old fashioned sodas in all kinds of classic flavors, to new sodas, and sparkling waters. We have hydration drinks that can double as mixers, non-beers, maple drink mixers, and the best Bloody Mary mixes around. July 4th cookouts and celebrations are about more than the food. They are about the cold beverages that spark some nostalgia, bring people together, or take the edge off a hot day. To help you stock your holiday cooler and bar we have gathered some of our favorites!
