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 Β 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 myΒ 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’sΒ December online Harvest Event. No minimum order required! That way, you can always order some to try.)

  1. What a wonderful gift to offer! Thank you! Love baking, especially Christmas baking and I love Rancho Vignola. A local group always puts in a big fruit & nut order every fall. Would definitely love to win one of these scrumptious baskets!

  2. I read your blog last year about Rancho Vignola and am hopeful to order from their Dec Harvest Event. I would love to win a basket! Happy Holidays!

  3. Rancho Vignola stuff is amazing. The first year we participated in the bulk buying, we had ordered walnuts. I was not keen on walnuts and usually preferred pecans in my cooking. When we received the walnuts my husband and I ate about a pound before they even made it to the cool storage. They were so sweet and fresh – totally unlike walnuts purchased from a store. Now, walnuts are one of my favourite nuts.

  4. a pallet full! awesome! mostly my cooking is vegan and having those fresh nuts is pure gold! pecan beet burgers rule!

  5. Just found your blog! Rebar has been my favorite cookbook ever since it was published! The Rancho basket looks fabulous and will be a wonderful treat for someone!
