THE PRODUCE AND PROTEIN BOX ($160)

Produce and protein staples for a family of 4, for a week

(or a smaller family that cooks a lot!)

• Produce Selection:  a seasonal selection of fresh, local fruit and vegetables, either organic, or if not certified organic, the farms that grow them follow organic practices, and are often “beyond organic”;  our produce farmers are mostly based in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, or within 150 miles of Los Angeles.  Plenty for a family of 4 (or a household that cooks alot!) to get through the week.

• Meat Selection:  three cuts of pastured, organic, local meat, sourced from Jimenez Family Farms, Rancho San Julian, Dey Dey’s Best Beef, Rocky Canyon, Sonoma Lamb and Pork,  (for example: a whole chicken, a pack of sausages, and steak; or chicken breasts, brisket, ground beef - each week  a different selection).  We fully support “nose to tail” eating, so will explore various cuts of meat, and always include instructions on how to prepare it.

• 1 x dried pulses, OR a mix, OR grain, OR pie shell etc.

• 1 x pack of nuts, seeds or dried fruit (from Peacock Farms, Fat Uncle Farms, Santa Barbara Pistachios, and others)

• 1 x Fair Trade product: a rotation of coffee, tea, sugar, rice, quinoa, chocolate. Investing in Fair Trade is our way of moving our food dollars into the greater community, as well as our own.

• 1 x recipes and suggested meal plan created by our team of farm to table chefs, to see you through the week
