Happy 4-Year Anniversary, Tatyana!

For four years, Tatyana has been such an important part of the Modern Stone Age family - and if you’ve spent any time with us, chances are you know exactly who she is!!

As our Front of House Manager, she is the one making sure everything up front keeps moving - the shelves are stocked, the coffee is hot, the team knows what’s happening, and our customers are taken care of. She somehow knows everyone by name, and it seems like everyone knows Tatyana, too.

She also leads the charge at our Kent Island Farmers Market each week, representing us out in the community and building relationships far beyond our doors here in Chestertown.

And this year, she earned a VERY prestigious honor around here: Barista of the Year for the whole Eastern Shore!!

But more than everything she does, we’re grateful for the energy, consistency, humor, and heart she has brought to our team over these past four years.

Tatyana, thank you for helping keep this crazy place running, for taking such good care of our customers and our team, and for being such an important part of what we’ve built.

Happy 4 years, Tatyana! Here’s to year 5! ❤️

Drop Tatyana some love below⬇️

We’re proud to once again sponsor the Washington College Men’s Soccer parent & player lanyards this season!!

As parents of a player ourselves, we know just how useful these are - player names, jersey numbers and parent names all in one place. They make getting to know the team and families so much easier throughout the season.

We also love getting to fuel the team at their home games. On Saturday we kicked things off with a simple sandwich spread after a 3–0 scrimmage win!! Thanks to Zach and Tyler for delivering it!

Of course, having our son Billy on the team makes supporting this exceptional group of young men even more special.

Looking forward to a great season and if you are local - home game at 7pm against Salisbury on Tuesday. BBQ for the after game dinner!!

Happy Birthday, Sherly! 💖

We are so thankful to have Sherly as part of our MSAK team! She is one of those people who helps keep our kitchen moving every single day - always working hard, jumping in wherever she’s needed, keeping things clean and organized, and doing it all with the biggest smile.

Since joining us, Sherly has continued to take on more and more, helping with prep and now learning the line. We love watching her confidence and skills grow, and we’re so excited to see where this next year takes her.

And, of course, birthdays around here come with a dessert request! Sherly chose strawberry shortcake, so Bill made her one with sourdough shortcake, fermented cream, and fresh strawberries. 🍓

Sherly, thank you for your hard work, your positive energy, and everything you bring to our team!! We hope you have the happiest birthday - we’re so lucky to have you! 💖🎉

We may have run out of coppa a little earlier than planned, but August isn’t over yet - so we’re giving our pizza special one last summer twist - Heirloom Tomato White Pizza!

Our 100% wild, long-fermented sourdough crust is topped with extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, sea salt, and our house-made pasta filata cheese, then layered with ripe heirloom tomatoes from Lockbriar Farm and baked in our wood-fired oven.

Finished with fresh ricotta cream made from Nice Farms milk and Red Acres basil.

No complicated toppings needed. Just incredible local tomatoes and basil, traditionally prepared ingredients, and everything made from scratch.

Available through the end of August - or as long as those beautiful heirloom tomatoes keep coming!

It’s back-to-school season, and kitchens everywhere are once again becoming lunch-packing assembly lines.

We remember this season well.

This first photo was from 2010 - the first year all three of our kids headed off to preschool/school together. Three kids. Three backpacks. Three packed lunches.

We thought a lot about what went inside those lunchboxes.

But after raising three kids and packing somewhere around 7,000 school lunches, we’ve learned that the most important ingredient might not actually be in the lunchbox.

Because nourishing our kids is about more than protein, healthy fats and good ingredients.

It’s also about belonging.

It’s about packing food they’ll actually eat. Food that works in the environment where they’re eating it. Food that nourishes them without making them feel like the “weird kid” at the lunch table.

And THAT took us a while to figure out.

As so many families head back to school this week and next, we’re sharing what we learned along the way in our latest blog post: The Most Important Ingredient Isn’t in the Lunchbox!

No perfect-lunchbox pressure. Just lessons from two parents who packed a whole lot of lunches and learned a whole lot along the way.

Happy 3-Year Anniversary to Jane… Miss Jane… Mom… or Mum Mum, depending on who you are around here💗

For the past three years, Jane has been one of those people who keeps so much of Modern Stone Age Kitchen moving behind the scenes.

She keeps our shipping rolling, literally rolls crackers every Tuesday and leads the cracker charge, pops in at the Centreville Farmers Market, and is always willing to jump in wherever she’s needed.

But what makes her so special has nothing to do with any of those jobs. She’s always here with a smile, ready to ask how you’re doing, share a story, have a laugh, and make everyone - customers and team alike - feel genuinely welcome and appreciated.

We are incredibly lucky to have her as part of this crazy family business, and I’m especially lucky that I get to call her Mom. ❤️

Happy 3 years to the woman with about five different names and just as many jobs around here!

Now maybe Year 4 is finally the year we get her into the front of the house. 😉

Love you, Mom!!

Welcome back, Washington College!!!

We really do love this time of year. Having students back in Chestertown brings so much energy to town - and we especially love having so many of you walk through our doors!!

For us, it’s personal, too. Our son Billy is heading into his junior year at Washington College, playing soccer and lacrosse, so many of the students who come into the Kitchen aren’t just customers - they’re his teammates, classmates and friends. We love being a little piece of home for all of you while you’re here💗

A reminder that Washington College students receive 10% off every day at Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and student athletes receive 20% off on game days to fuel up before they compete!

And just in time for everyone’s return to Chestertown . . . Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back on Monday!

Welcome back, WAC. We’re really happy you’re here - the whole town is!🎉

It’s starting to feel like fall around here! 🍂

Washington College students are back in town and classes start Monday. Teachers are heading back into classrooms all around us, students aren’t far behind, and that means it’s officially time to bring back the Pumpkin Spice Latte. 🎃☕️

And take a look at that first picture because we’re pretty proud of it.

That’s what’s in our PSL.

Every single ingredient. You can see it. You can pronounce it. You know exactly what it is!!

We infuse local Back Creek Farms maple syrup with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg, add puréed Lockbriar Farms butternut squash, a double shot of organic Rise Up Coffee Costa Rica espresso, steamed and frothed Nice Farms milk, fermented Lewes Dairy cream and our housemade fall spice.

That’s it.

Everything made in-house, using incredible local ingredients whenever we possibly can.

And our Rosemary Muscovado Latte is back for fall too. 🌿

So consider this your reminder to plan accordingly on Monday. 😂

WAC Students - grab one on the way to class!
Teachers, staff and principals - you’re going to need one.
And parents? Drop those kids off and then come back and enjoy yours in peace and quiet. 🙌

⬇Tag someone who needs this in their life next week!

Fall, we’re ready for you!!

Imagine watching an AI version of yourself walk through the major milestones of your own life. 🤯

Your early career. The experiences that changed the way you thought. The places you traveled. The work you devoted your life to. And eventually . . . how all of those pieces came together to create what you’re doing today.

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Bill.

Before introducing Dr. Bill Schindler on their podcast, the guys at Keith, John & Friends created this AI-generated journey through his life - from archaeology and ancestral foodways to Eat Like a Human and ultimately the work we’re doing today at Modern Stone Age Kitchen.

We had NO idea this was coming.

And watching AI Bill move through his own history was one of the craziest things we’ve seen. But beyond the novelty of it, we were genuinely blown away by the thought and creativity that went into telling his story this way!!

We had to share the AI intro here so you could experience it too.

And then definitely go watch the full podcast - it’s a fantastic conversation that goes much deeper into Bill’s work, including a fascinating discussion about spinach and oxalates.

Huge thanks to Keith, John & Friends for such an unexpected and creative introduction. ❤️
