Item Highlights
Parsnips
Parsnips are a versatile root vegetable with a subtly sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture that make them a favorite for hearty autumnal dishes. A staple in kitchens for centuries, they’ve been celebrated for their ability to elevate both rustic and refined recipes. Whether roasted, mashed, or pureed into warming soups, parsnips bring depth and sweetness to your meals. They pair beautifully with spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cumin, as well as savory ingredients like garlic, thyme, and browned butter. They’re packed with fiber, potassium, and vitamin C!
Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda
Central Coast Creamery is a California farmstead cheesemaker known for producing distinctive goat and cow milk cheeses from local, antibiotic-free herds. Their Goat Gouda is made with 100 percent goat’s milk and aged for four to six months. The cheese develops a firm yet slightly chalky texture, with flavors of tart apple, grass, caramel, and toasted nuts over a smooth, ivory paste. As it matures, small salt crystals may appear, adding a pleasant crunch to its rich character. It’s versatile enough to enjoy on its own, sliced into sandwiches, or paired with crisp white wines and fruit. Or, try our favorite pairing: Fat Toad Farm’s Goat Caramel!
Jasper Hill Farm Mini Harbison
Jasper Hill Farm is an artisan cheesemaker in Vermont that emphasizes place, connection, and careful affinage through their Cellars aging program. The Mini Harbison is a smaller version of their famed Harbison cheese. It’s wrapped in a strip of spruce bark from the Jasper Hill woodlands and ripened under a bloomy rind. Its interior is luxuriously creamy and spoonable, exhibiting notes of lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors. The Mini Harbison offers the same nuanced complexity in a more compact size, ideal for trying on a cheese board or sharing in smaller portions.
Santa Barbara Pistachio Co. Salted Organic In-Shell Pistachios
Santa Barbara Pistachio Co. has been growing and producing all-organic, all-natural pistachios since 1995, with its first certified organic crop in 2007. They are family-owned, manage every step of production on their own farms in the Sierra Madre range, and focus on minimal processing to preserve flavor. Their Salted Organic In-Shell Pistachios are tree-ripened on the sunlight-rich hillsides of Santa Barbara County and then roasted using only sea salt. Hand-sorted and packed daily to ensure farm-fresh taste, this product has long been a customer favorite for snacking.
Ritual Juniper Lavender 70% Dark Chocolate
Crafted in small batches in Utah, Ritual Chocolate focuses on using ethically sourced cacao to create pure, high-quality chocolate. This Juniper Lavender 70% Dark Chocolate is a sophisticated bar that blends the artistry of chocolate-making with the essence of the natural world. It highlights their commitment to creativity, pairing their signature dark chocolate with the floral notes of lavender and the woodsy, slightly citrusy flavor of juniper. The result is a beautifully balanced bar that’s rich and earthy, with aromatic layers of sweetness and subtle spice. Perfect for savoring on its own, it also pairs wonderfully with herbal teas or a bold glass of red wine. With its distinctive flavor profile, this bar offers a unique experience that celebrates the harmony of fine chocolate and botanical inspiration.
