The Box & Pantry Items

Mixed Produce Box

Every week the box will look similar (but of rotating varieties) with salad greens, cooking greens, root veggies, seasonal vegetables, alliums and herbs, and a small assortment of fruit. You can see some of our old box flyers in our updates section, or email us at orders@martinsfarmtotable.com for a current newsletter. Our newsletter serves as our weekly flyer now and we no longer write new flyers. See the newsletter for recipe tips and ideas!

Each week, we send out a description of the box for the upcoming delivery days. Please note that substitutions can happen from time to time, and if we run out of an item, it will be replaced with another, or the quantity of an existing item will be increased. Thank you for supporting our small farm and adventurously accepting the small, sometimes random treasures we send!

Add-on Pantry Bags

We also offer rotating pantry bag options, both from our farm and from other farmer friends. Here are just a few examples from the *many* we offer:

Citrus

Bernard Ranch citrus from Riverside, with navel or Valencia oranges, tangelos, red grapefruits, oro blanco or march white grapefruits, blood oranges, lemons or Meyer lemons, blood oranges, and others (they rotate through the seasons).

Dried Beans

White butter beans and borlotti beans from Louie Iacopi’s Farm in Half Moon Bay.

Nuts

Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil. This is from Frantoio Olivestri in Umbria.

Pasta and Gluten-Free Pasta

Granoro is a pasta company based in Puglia, and we have a pantry item of three of premium pastas, two packages of spaghetti, and one each of pappardelle, and orecchiette. These pastas are made from wheat grown in Puglia, bronze extruded, with attention paid to slowly drying the pasta for higher quality. You will notice the difference compared to regular supermarket Italian dried pasta, and at a very reasonable price. The different shapes provide lots of opportunities for making pasta with farm box ingredients, as well as traditional meat sauces.

Granoro has a gluten-free pasta line, with a combination of quinoa, rice, and corn flours. These are pretty close to the real thing. There are many households out there that stopped making pasta because someone became gluten intolerant. I strongly recommend giving these a try, so that you can make pasta a household habit once again. These three different shapes provide some variety to your pasta making. 

Artichoke Hearts

Anticia Valle d’Ofanta grilled artichoke hearts from Puglia. These artichokes are grown, cooked, and packed by this farm in Puglia and they are really good, especially for this price. I got a jar to try out and they are close to using a fresh baby artichoke. No vinegar, packed in safflower oil for neutral flavor, they are great to throw in pastas, an omelet,  or cut up and dressed up with a little vinegar, lemon zest, a splash of olio nuovo and pinch of Sicilian sea salt. 

Honey

ADI Apicultora Italian raw chestnut honey. Chestnut honey is like no other honey. Dark, rich, strongly flavored. It is often used in savory cooking, with game birds, roasting root vegetables, or with gorgonzola cheese and pears. Try it on a piece of bread to get a more robust honey flavor than you are used to. 

Salt

Sea salt from Sicily

Cornmeal and Wheat Flour

Stone milled white cornmeal and heirloom whole wheat flour from Capay Mills
