Ode to a Winter's Box

I am the ideal csa member.  Ridiculously pleased by freshness that feels hand selected in the market of my dreams.  Perhaps because I love her so, I can feel Jeanine's tangible blessings for health and well being through amazing tasting food radiate from the glowing box that lands on my countertop, without fail, for the brightest part in winter's menu planning.

and people!  people!  i am getting the left overs.  Sure, I might get more chocolate truffles than you did in the sweetness that was the just before christmas box.  oh.  You didn't get chocolate truffles in your christmas box?!

ahem.

I am sure we can all agree that it's the little things that make the boxes so special. The certain juice of the satsumas on your chin.  The visions of a hearth fire roasted on the hazelnuts. The way the greens keep for three weeks in the fridge without even trying. Was I the only one who had never tried CHEESE AND COCOA TOGETHER?!  Who knew that decadence could be so healthy?

I hope that you are all enjoying winter's sweetness as much as I am.  I have been on the sunday box countdown for two weeks now.  A new month dawns and I start counting Sundays. and satsumas!

These lingering Summer days are gently easing us into Fall and beyond.  It’s hard to think about the shorter, darker days of Winter, but let me carry you there for just a moment to remind you that it’s time to consider signing up for the Winter Box Subscription.  Once a month we’ll do our best to pack up some sunshine and sweet breezes to send you home with.  From winter storage fruits, veggies and nuts ripened in our own Washington sunshine to California citrus and tender veggies to other exotic treats from the tropics around this beautiful globe, you’ll get a bright taste of sunshine sweetness blended with the hearty goodness of Fall and Winter coziness; all a tasty reminder of the long, warm days of Summers to come.  To top it all off, you’ll get a selection of food items including baked goods and cheeses from local producers.  It’s a food present you give yourself to put an extra bright spot into each month from November to March. 

Registration for the Winter Box Subscription closes on October 21, 2012.  Participation is limited and provided on a first come first served basis.

You can find out more about the Winter Box on our website: www.farmandfruitstand.com, or send us an email at madronagrove@farmandfruitstand.com.

Enough with winter thoughts, now step away from the computer and get back out in that sunshine while it lasts!  I’m going to!
