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.
Delicious and environmentally friendly too – what’s not to love? Thanks for highlighting these great products again this year, Heidi.
That would be a Happy Vegan Christmas to share with my family and friends:)
I would love to win this yummy basket of dried fruit & nuts! Please pick me!!
Hi Heidi,
I also love, love, love Rancho Vignola! Their raw organic cashews are so fresh, but I admit I am addicted to the organic dark chocolate covered almonds. I sure would love to try more of their treats!
Great article in EAT, by the way!
What a fab gift idea!
That is a fab gift idea!
I’m drooling… Pick me .
I am “nuts” about nuts…..But seriously, I remember in the 100 mile diet how they went and got fresh nuts within the 100 mile radius. So much we take for granted in this amazing part of the world we live in….I wanted to add that you were the one who really drove home for me the difference roasted nuts make. I had used them mostly in salads, etc. but it really moves baking up a notch!
Oh Heidi. I remember your explaining about these delicious nuts at the Indian food cookery course on Quadra! You are so right. Now is the season for FRESH nuts!
I’m not even sure I have tasted a non-supermarket nut! What a great gift idea!
I can certainly attest to the greatness of these nuts!! and to the nuttiness of Heidi!!
Yum!
