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.
The Sweet Spot of Spring
As May eases gently into June, this week’s box captures the bright, fleeting flavors that make late spring feel so special. Tender fava beans, vibrant lettuces, crisp radishes, locally-foraged morel mushrooms, and richly flavorful Skagit River Ranch Polish sausages come together in a lineup that feels equally at home at a sunlit picnic table or a lingering evening supper outdoors. Rounded out with beautiful farm and duck eggs, country-style Pain au Levain bread, creamy Bellsong fromage blanc, and the season’s freshest greens and herbs, this week’s box is an invitation to savor this golden moment in time.
Here’s what you’ll find in your box this week:
Skagit River Ranch Polish Sausages
The pampered pigs raised by our friends at Skagit River Ranch in Sedro-Woolley roam freely across certified-organic pastureland, rooting, digging, and soaking up the fresh country air as only happy pigs can. Raised on a nourishing diet of flax seed, corn, and wheat, their richly flavorful pasture-raised pork shines beautifully in this week’s Polish sausage selection, bringing a savory, hearty touch to your spring suppers.
Locally Foraged Morel Mushrooms
These seasonal mushrooms are only available in the wild, developing a cult following of local ‘mushroom hunters’ who roam our forests looking for this treat of nature. Woodsy and earthy, yet delicate and rich, they are excellent incorporated into a variety of dishes, or simply sautéed in butter or olive oil and enjoyed on their own with a squeeze of lemon over top.
Pain au Levain Bread
This slightly-nutty, slightly-sweet sourdough loaf embodies country-style French baking with a chewy crust and light, airy interior. Baked just for us at a small bakery in Snohomish, this traditional Pain au Levain is crafted using the bakery’s own sourdough starter.
Nashi D’Anjou Pear Non-Alcoholic Perry
Crafted by Vashon Island’s Nashi Orchards using 100% organically grown D’Anjou pears from their Sakura Ridge orchard in Hood River, Oregon, this lightly sparkling perry is beautifully balanced with gentle sweetness and a soft, full mouthfeel. Bright and refreshing with no added sugar, it’s wonderfully versatile.
Bellsong Creamery Fromage Blanc
Light in texture and tangy in taste, our fromage blanc is lovingly-made from local cow’s milk—put it to work in your favorite recipes, or mix it with fresh herbs or lemon zest and honey to add lusciously-creamy appeal to your next cheese board.
Farm Fresh Eggs
Our small flock of heritage-breed Black Copper Maran, Ameraucana, and Delaware hens provide us with fresh eggs in beautiful shades of brown and green. With the long days of spring, they are enjoying lots of time outside in their run, pecking, scratching, and soaking up the sunshine.
Duck Eggs
With near-transparent egg whites and color-rich oversize yolks, these local duck eggs are a chef’s dream, lending flavorful appeal to a variety of dishes.
Fava Beans
Spring’s fleeting fava bean season has arrived! Tucked inside their plush green pods are tender beans prized for their creamy texture, grassy sweetness, and old-world charm. A staple of springtime cooking throughout Italy, favas shine simply dressed with olive oil, lemon, herbs, and shaved cheese—or blended into silky dips and spreads perfect for grazing boards and gatherings.
Seasonal Organic Greens
A gorgeous array of spring greens awaits this week: Spicy salad mix, escarole, and Little Gem lettuces.
Fresh Organic Fruit & Vegetables
This week’s produce selection also includes spring onions, Nantes carrots, red radishes, and spring onions.
Garden-Grown Herbs & Edible Flowers
Rosemary, sage, salad burnet, oregano and chive blossoms from the walled garden and middle field here at Bella Luna, plus cheery edible viola flowers.
