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.
Wonderful, hope I win!
Didn’t know about this source for nuts and dried fruit. Will be checking them out.
There’s no comparing fresh nuts to supermarket bulk ones, it’s amazing. Like the difference between fresh coconut vs. bulk. Stoked to make your fruitcake recipe for my mama this year!
Yeah! Rancho Vignola!! Have been a customer for several years. There is no comparison in quality and freshness. And customer service is exceptional.
This sounds amazing Heidi! I remember picking filberts in Surrey as a teenager…yum!

I definitely know the difference that fresh nuts make in baked goods. What a lovely giveaway!
I would love to compare nuts! I’ve been eating possibly rancid nuts all my life!!
