What’s In The Box? December 19-25

Home for the Holidays
‘Tis the season for family and friends to gather around and celebrate the most magical time of year—so allow us to lend a helping hand with an array of brunch-ready accoutrements that range from smoky bacon rashers and farm-fresh eggs to bright winter citrus fruits and an assortment of baked goods like chocolate babka, stollen loaf, and English muffins. Also included: A selection of winter chicories, pancake mix, freshly-foraged mushrooms, sweet pears, Bella Luna apples, and coffee to keep you fueled for cozy, more leisurely mornings just ahead. From our family to yours—happy holidays!

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!

Freshly-Baked Goods

This week’s delivery features a bevy of baked goods to get you stocked up for the holidays: Traditional German Stollen fruit loaf, dark and rich chocolate-studded babka, and light, airy English muffins perfect for toasting (and topping with bacon rashers and a scrambled farm-fresh egg, we say!).

Island Time Coffee Deception Dark Blend

Crafted specifically for the Northwest aesthetic, Island Time Coffee Company sources only the finest, farm-direct, sustainable coffee beans from Latin America and Indonesia. All of the Whidbey Island-based company’s coffee is small-batch roasted, ensuring the best possible freshness.

Mille Prosecco Millesimato Extra-Dry DOC

Fabulously lively and light at every glass, this extra-dry Italian Prosecco features a bouquet of apple and pear notes as well as hints of light citrus.

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. With the much shorter days of fall, the girls are up with the sun to start the day, anxious to head outside where they still enjoy roaming if it isn’t raining too much! Bedtime is coming much earlier now, as we see them heading into their house to roost as the sun is going down.

Local Mushrooms

With a firm texture and light, delicate flavor, this mix of local Hedgehog, golden Chanterelle, and Yellowfoot Chanterelle mushrooms will lend earthy appeal to a variety of dishes.

Organic Greens

This week, enjoy a beautiful selection of radicchio that includes Rosa del Vento, Lusia, Chioggia and Castelfranco varieties, plus red and green endive and red-veined sorrel.

Seasonal Organic Fruit & Vegetables

This week’s produce selection also includes: Thelma Sanders winter squash, stem and leaf Satsumas, red Comice pears, and Pink Lady apples.

Garden-Grown Herbs

Fresh Italian parsley from the garden at Bella Luna.
