Patty Pan Cooperative Wholegrain Flour Tortillas

The locally-made, hand-pressed tortillas from this Shoreline-based worker-owned coop are crafted from just four stellar ingredients: Olive oil, salt, water and organic flour from Cairnspring Mills located in the Skagit Valley.

This small-batch sauce from Seattle-based Häxan Ferments is crafted from tomatoes, fresh peppers, onions, coffee, dry peppers, apple cider vinegar, cocoa nibs, raisins, garlic, salt and spices.

Sliced Multigrain Bread

Crafted in nearby Snohomish by our favorite bakery, this healthy freshly-baked loaf is made with locally-milled Shepherd’s Grain flour and seven different whole grains, plus a hint of honey and toasted sunflower seeds.

Honoro Vera White Wine Blend 2022

Bright in color, the Spanish wine crafted from Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc grapes exudes aromas of white flowers and fresh fruit, including exotic tropical notes. On the palate it is balanced and has a light and refreshing acidity.
