How it Works
First of all, how does it work? A handcrafted wooden box will be hand-delivered to your doorstep, where it will remain throughout the duration of your subscription. This is where your weekly Farm & Larder goods will be placed each week.
Summering in France
Cool, classic and colorful, Salade Niçoise is the hallmark of summer in France, layered with fresh, crisp produce like haricot verts and cherry tomatoes, and accents like hard-boiled eggs, Niçoise olives, protein-rich tuna and wholegrain French mustard. Thus, your box this week is filled with local ingredients to create your own version of the famous salad, plus fragrant herbs, garden-grown greens, summer stone fruit, freshly-baked Pain au Levain bread, and imported French candies. Enjoy!
Here’s what you’ll find your box this week:
Salade Niçoise Kit with Black Niçoise Olives & Canned Albacore Tuna
This week, we’ve included all the ingredients to craft your own version of Julia Child’s favorite salad (see recipes for details!). Protein-rich and perfect for patio dining, this Provençal staple balances the best in summer produce with the classic pairing of plump, briny Niçoise olives and flavorful canned Albacore tuna from local company Lummi Island Wild.
Summer Stone Fruit
Hawaiian Punch pluots and sweet-tart apricots.
Pain au Levain Bread
This slightly-nutty, slightly-sweet sourdough baguette epitomizes French country-style baking with a chewy crust and light, airy interior. Baked by our favorite bakery in Snohomish, this traditional Pain au Levain is crafted using the bakery’s own sourdough starter; serve it alongside this week’s centerpiece salad to complete the meal.
Ravoire et Fils Domaine des Bellugues Rosé Mediterranée 2024
Made by a small family estate named for the fireflies that live around the vineyard (bellegues means “spark”), this French rosé bursts with fresh fruit flavors and a crisp, bright acidity.
Farm Fresh Eggs
Our small flock of heritage breed laying hens is made up of three heritage breeds: Black Copper Maran, Ameraucana, and Delaware. As they spend plenty of time outdoors in the sun, they are also enjoying garden trimmings and fresh greens to supplement their diet of organic layer mash as they continue to give us fresh eggs in beautiful shades of brown, beige and cream.
Moutarde de Meaux Pommery Mustard
Crafted from mustard seeds, water, vinegar, salt and spices, this immensely-flavorful wholegrain mustard from France has been made with the same time-honored recipe since 1632.
Seasonal Organic Greens
This week’s incredible delivery of greens features endive frisée, red and green shiso, fancy salad mix, and radicchio.
Fresh Organic Fruit & Vegetables
This week’s produce selection includes baby bunched yellow and rainbow carrots, rainbow slicer tomatoes, Walla Walla sweet onions, scallions, cherry tomatoes and haricots verts.
Garden-Grown Herbs
Fragrant mixed herbs from the walled garden.
Maffren Confiseur Calissous de Provence Candies
This mon petit French candies are prepared by hand with high-quality almonds and finely ground candied fruit, as well as a touch of honey and orange blossom for a unique flavor.
