Winter’s Brunch
Rise and shine, it’s breakfast time: Pour yourself a cup of coffee and perk up your taste buds with this week’s selection of farm-fresh brunch fare. Featuring such highlights as Jack Mountain’s smoky English-style bacon rashers, nutty pancake mix, rich eggs from our heritage breed hens, a unique Rosé cider from Vashon Island, and freshly-baked cinnamon-raisin bread, this seasonally-inspired delivery also includes parsnips, fingerling potatoes, turnips, gorgeous garden greens, apples, rapini, and a colorful assortment of winter citrus fruit. Enjoy!

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

Jack Mountain Smoked English-Style Bacon Rashers

Also known as back bacon, the rashers from this Skagit Valley-based meat company are hand cut from the loin with a portion of the belly still attached. Each belly cut is dry-cured the “old school” way, by hand, aged for a minimum of eight days, and are smoked all day over hazelnut shells. The resulting rashers crisp up very well, yet still have a big meaty chew.

Bluebird Grain Farms Organic Emmer Pancake Mix

This fantastic mix from a plow-to-package grain farm located in Winthrop, Washington yields sweet, nutty heirloom grain pancakes that are high in fiber, protein and B vitamins—not to mention utterly delicious!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread & Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Baked just for us by our favorite local bakery, this fresh-baked cinnamon raisin loaf makes for a delicious base to French toast. Also included: The bakery’s delicious chocolate chunk cookies!

Dragon’s Head Rosé Cider

This Rosé Cider is created from a unique blend of red fleshed apple varieties, including Redfield apples from the cidery’s orchard located on Vashon Island. Unlike typical apple trees, in the spring, the blossoms on the Redfield trees are bright pink, the leaves are a reddish bronze, and amazingly the flesh of these beautiful apples is red. When the apples are pressed, the juice is a crimson color that lightens and clears into the blush rosé that you see in the bottle. Bright and fruity, this cider is certainly unique for its color but also delicious in flavor.

Farm Fresh Eggs

Our small flock of heritage breed laying hens gives us fresh eggs each day in beautiful shades of brown, cream and green. As they spend more time snug in their coop during the chilly winter months, the “girls” are also enjoying extra helpings of grain and fresh greens to supplement their diet.

Island Time Coffee Ferry Line Blues Roast

Crafted specifically for the Northwest aesthetic, Island Time Coffee Company sources only the finest, farm-direct, sustainable coffee beans from Latin America and Indonesia. This particular medium-roasted blend boasts a broad range of tangy and aromatic flavors to ensure a full-bodied cup of coffee without any bitterness.

Strawberry Black Pepper Jam

Traditionally made with organic strawberries, meyer lemons, organic cane sugar and a hint of finely ground black pepper.

Organic Greens

Gorgeous red-veined micro sorrel, plus Chioggia and Treviso radicchio.

Seasonal Organic Fruit & Vegetables

This week’s produce selection also includes: Rapini, carrots, parsnips, Huckleberry Gold potatoes, yellow onions, and purple-top and Hakurei turnips, plus Meyer lemons, Minneola tangelos and farm apples from the orchard.

Garden-Grown Herbs

Flat-leaf Italian parsley, shallots, thyme and sweet bay from the walled garden.
