Here’s what you’ll find in your box this week:
Skagit River Ranch Breakfast Sausage
With a flavor profile that includes hints of sweet maple syrup and savory spices, these incredible breakfast sausages are made from the all-natural pork raised on the Skagit River Ranch in Sedro-Woolley. These pampered pigs roam outdoors in certified-organic pasture land to root and dig, thriving on a diet of flax seed, corn and wheat.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Baked just for us by our favorite local bakery, this fresh-baked cinnamon raisin loaf makes for a delicious base to French toast.
Locally-Grown Blueberries
Freshly-picked ripe blueberries.
Island Time Coffee Island Sunset French 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. All of the Whidbey Island company’s coffee is small-batch roasted, ensuring the best possible freshness, and this particular dark-roasted blend is smooth, dark and tangy, with an assertive smoky aroma.
Casas del Bosque Pinot Noir Rosé 2022
This single vineyard Rosé is made with Pinot Noir grapes planted on the “Las Dichas” side of Casablanca Valley, the coolest, westernmost reach of Chile. A very pale hue of pink, it is delicately fruity with hints of strawberries and petrichor, and dry on the palate with ample body and refreshing acidity.
Farm Fresh Eggs
As they spend lots of time outdoors in their run, our small flock of heritage breed laying hens are enjoying succulent popweed pulled from the gardens along with an extra helping of grain to supplement their diet to give us fresh eggs in beautiful shades of brown, beige and cream.
Fresh Organic Greens
Escarole greens.
Heirloom Tomatoes
It’s time! The first of the local heirloom tomatoes are here, and they are just waiting to be enjoyed.
Seasonal Organic Fruit & Vegetables
This week’s beautiful selection of summer produce also includes Ronde de Nice summer squash, sugar snap peas, Persian cucumbers, fennel, orange carrots and fingerling potatoes, lemons.
Fresh Garden Herbs
Living Genovese basil and Italian parsley.
Amaretti Cookies with Coffee
Accented by freshly-ground coffee notes, these traditional soft, buttery Italian cookies are a wonderful little pick-me-up.
