What’s In The Box? September 5-11

SEPTEMBER 5-11

Fresh & Flavorful
With a vivid produce assortment that includes zucchini, Jimmy Nardello peppers, Patty Pan squash, mini seedless watermelon, a myriad of late-summer tomatoes and not one, but two kinds, of cucumbers, the late-summer harvest continues here at the farm. This week’s box continues to sing with such additional highlights as Pain au Levain bread, an elegant Spanish red wine, and farm-fresh eggs; combine these beauties with beautiful garden greens and fragrant herbs to allow all these fresh, seasonal flavors to shine.

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

Pain au Levain Bread

This slightly-nutty, slightly-sweet sourdough bread epitomizes French country-style baking with a chewy crust and light, airy interior. Baked by our favorite bakery in Snohomish, this traditional Pain au Levain is crafted using the bakery’s own sourdough starter

Atalaya ‘Laya’ Red Blend 2022

This unique Spanish red wine combines complexity, structure and intense color with the explosion of fruit and ease of consumption. Crafted with a blend of Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell grapes, it is elegant on the nose and palate, and pairs well with pastas, vegetables, grilled proteins and even short or medium cheeses.

Farm Fresh Eggs

As they spend plenty 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.
