What's in the box this week?


Gathered for Fall

The first days of fall call for something warm and comforting, and this week’s box is ready for the occasion. Creamy Arborio rice, locally foraged mushrooms, and our slow-simmered chicken stock come together for an autumn risotto, perfect alongside a crisp seasonal salad. Farm-fresh eggs, honey-oat sourdough, sweet onions, carrots, and a colorful mix of late-season peppers and tomatoes offer plenty of inspiration for the rest of the meal, while sunny Canary melon provides one last juicy taste of summer. It’s a box that deliciously captures the changing of the seasons—and gives you plenty of reasons to gather around the table.

Here’s what you’ll find in your box this week:

Arborio Rice
This round-grain rice comes from the Po River Valley region of Italy and is named for the town of Arborio located in the heart of the area. When cooked with our flavorful chicken stock and a splash of white wine, it becomes creamy and starchy and is a great pairing for autumn produce, such as this week’s foraged mushrooms.

Foraged Fall Mushrooms
A delicious taste of the season, these locally foraged mushrooms bring rich, earthy flavor to the autumn table. Sauté with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs for a simple side, fold into creamy risotto for a comforting fall meal, or pile atop toasted bread with a sprinkle of Parmesan for an easy appetizer.

New Day Honey Oat Sourdough
Freshly baked by New Day Bakery in Snohomish, this hearty sourdough loaf brings together the wholesome flavor of oats, a touch of honey sweetness, and the signature tang of traditional sourdough. Enjoy toasted with a generous spread of butter, pair with your favorite fall soup, or serve alongside this week’s creamy mushroom risotto for a cozy autumn meal.

Momento Cellars 2022 Petit Verdot
Rich, bold, and beautifully suited to the autumn table, this Petit Verdot brings deep color and generous dark-fruit character to the glass. Notes of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum mingle with hints of spice and earthy undertones, while structured tannins lend depth to the finish.

Farm Fresh Eggs
Our small flock of heritage-breed Black Copper Maran, Ameraucana, and Delaware hens provides us with fresh eggs in beautiful shades of brown and green. These lovely September days still offer plenty of time outdoors, where the hens happily peck, scratch, and forage in the fresh air.


Farm & Larder Chicken Stock
Made from roasted organic chickens, this flavorful stock is simmered slowly for hours with carrots, onions and celery and seasoned with a dash of sea salt.

Seasonal Organic Greens
Baby lettuces and radicchio.

Canary Melon
With its sunny yellow skin and sweet, juicy flesh, Canary melon brings a refreshing taste of late summer to the early-fall table.

Fresh Organic Fruits & Vegetables
This week’s bounty of produce includes: Spicy Pimenta de Neyde peppers from Southern Exposure Family Farm in the Skagit Valley, plus heirloom tomatoes, celery, Gatherer’s Gold frying peppers, Shin Kuroda carrots and sweet onions.

Garden-Grown Herbs
Fragrant garlic, basil, thyme and shallots from the walled garden and middle field here at Bella Luna.
