The Second Annual Rancho Vignola Giveaway
## INSERT EXCERPT ##
It’s that time of year again: Nutty Season. Yes, nutty as in, I must be crazy to have an entire pallet of dried fruits and nuts delivered to my house; but also nutty, as in DELICIOUS NEW CROP NUTS are in season!
Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I am a huge fan of Rancho Vignola for the quality and freshness of their products. You also may remember my giveaway last year, when I waxed poetic about the difference in freshness and flavour from a new crop Rancho Vignola nut and a regular (possibly rancid) supermarket nut. I mean, seriously, the difference is out of this world! I LOVE my delicious new crop nuts.
So here we are again. Rancho has generously offered a second basket for me to raffle off to one of my blog readers! Valued at $150, the Rancho basket will include a nice variety of dried fruits and new crop nuts for the lucky winner. The basket will arrive in time for Christmas!
To qualify for delivery, you must have a Canadian shipping address. Enter the draw in one of three ways:
(1) comment on this post
(2) post to my facebook fanpage
(3) tweet with the hashtag #chefheidisnuts to @chefheidifink
This year’s giveaway will end by midnight, Saturday, December 7th, and a winner will be announced Sunday, December 8th. That’s one week, folks!
And for all non-winners – this giveaway is running simultaneously with Rancho’s December online Harvest Event. No minimum order required! That way, you can always order some to try.)

Pumpkin Spice Scones
Pumpkin spices scones are a perfect fall treat; not-too-sweet, fragrant with spices, with a full complement of rich pumpkin flavour.
What a lovely Christmas present! As one who’s from a chilly part of the country, aka SK, aka The Land That Heat Forgot, these would make a lovely mid-winter treat x
OH MY! I don’t know how I missed this giveaway last year. What a fantastic gift this would make for myself, ahem, my family…
I would love to taste the difference between a super market nut and a Rancho Vignola nut. Pick me! Pick me!! Great article in Eat Mag by the way!!
One of my fondest memories growing in Newfoundland at Christmas was of the incredible nut bowl on my Nanny’s coffee table and the string of exotic (for me they were) figs in my stocking. Would love to have some new memories with these incredible local products.
I love your fruit cake recipes so much. I can’t image how extra wonderful they would be with superior ingredients like these!
What a gorgeous pic of all those goodies! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Being rather a nut myself, I believe this basket would find a wonderfully familiar home in my tree!
mmm, your writing always makes me hungry…thanks for that! I always think that Spring’s my favourite season no wait then there’s Summer and mmm the figsHoneyPumpkinApples of early Winter, but really it’s all about the fruit & nuts with their wonderful rush of intense flavours. This is my favourite food season for sure! Thanks for the pix and reminder to get going and order some of those delights.
Cheers!
I love Rancho as well! Such fabulous products and if I won this I would pass it along to our wonderful daycare provider as a holiday gift 🙂 Thanks for the tip on the Online Harvest Event too – might have to grab a few additional items!
I was read about how you used Rancho Vignola fruit and nuts in your fruit cakes. They sound delicious.
I would love to win these nutritious and delicious treats. Thanks!
Yum! What a treat this would be!
