Here’s what you’ll find in your box:
Lemon-Pepper Linguine Pasta
Hand-crafted from wholesome, quality ingredients by Bellingham Pasta Co., this fresh linguine is kissed with citrusy lemon and fresh-cracked black pepper for incredible flavor.
Nonna Pat’s Eggplant Caponata
Crafted in the farmhouse kitchen using our own Nonna Pat’s treasured family recipe, this traditional Tuscan relish combines hearty eggplant, peppers, briny capers and juicy golden raisins and is lovely spread on toasted French bread.
French Baguette
Baked just for us by our favorite small bakery in nearby Snohomish, this fresh loaf embodies classic French baking with a delightfully-crisp crust and an airy interior.
Kiona Vineyards Columbia Valley Chenin Blanc 2018
Crafted from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the Columbia Valley, this crisp, dry white wine features refreshing aromas of tart green apples, plus hints of tropical fruit and a mouth-watering acidity that make it a wonderful pairing for this week’s spring-influenced pasta main.
Farm Fresh Eggs
Spending their time dodging raindrops on wet spring days, or strutting around their enclosure on sunny ones, our heritage breed laying hens are now also enjoying the tasty green popweed we pull from the garden, in turn supplying us with eggs in beautiful shades of brown, beige and cream.
Seasonal Organic Greens
Pea shoots, sunflower shoots and a mix of spring salad greens.
Cosmic Queen Oyster Mushrooms
Locally-foraged Oyster mushrooms, which boast a beautifully-meaty, mellow flavor when cooked in a little butter or chicken stock.
Spring Rhubarb
The ruby-red spring favorite is here!
Seasonal Organic Fruits & Vegetables
This week’s produce selection also includes purple French breakfast radishes, red cherry radishes, purple sprouting broccoli, romanesco, baby leeks, Huckleberry gold potatoes and a braising mix of greens, plus Cara Cara oranges, Meyer lemons and Honeycrisp apples.
