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.
Keep spreading the yummy love. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely opportunity to try this beautiful product. Thank you as always for your wisdom, Heidi! I’ve been told that many people who think they are allergic to nuts are actually allergic to the rancidity in stale ones. We in Canada, unfortunately eat stale ones far too often. I’ll order from Rancho Vignolo whether I’m the lucky winner or not! Blessings.
Me too…me too. I want to enter too. I’m nuts for nuts and would love to try the taste test. What a lovely Christmas give-away.
Did you know that in Victorian times, a “dessert” was made of things like fruit and nuts and candy, artfully arranged, and served last? this is why the British have a course called “pudding” during which they serve sweet things that we would call dessert, because dessert was actually a different thing. So I would love some dessert, please Heidi. Pick me, Pick me!
Hi Heidi
Love your blog. I LOVE nuts and dried fruit, my favourite food. I’ve tasted fresh nuts before – nothing like them. As the Number 3 person said so eloquently, Pick me! Pick me! Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.
ooo! what a wonderful giveaway! thanks:)
Love all R.V. products. Every year I have to restrain myself when I’m ordering! Ditto nice article in EAT magazine. I still remember your holiday baking class. So many good treats in so little time!
It’s probably been 20 years since I’ve had fresh nuts. (Local farmer with a walnut tree but doesn’t sell them every year.) Would love to try these products. 🙂
Hi Heidi:
Wow! I’d have be nutty not to want to win this bounteous fruit and nut basket. Thank you Heidi. Good luck everyone!
Looks delicious.
We’ve been looking for new Christmas traditions – fresh new nuts arriving for the winter – perfect!
Wow this is a great Christmas idea! Would be great to unpack the basket at my house in Toronto.
