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.
Yummy! A basket full of pure goodness!
We are a nut-loving family, so this would be our best Xmas present! My spouse would be in (nut) heaven!
How lovely of Rancho Vignola to provide another basket of goodies! I hope they have dates — frozen dates are almost like nature’s caramel/toffee!
Love those nuts
That’s the best gift for a foodie, like me…I mean i would love to give it to my son, but, i know it would never make it out of my house, so he’d simply have to come for a visit to try some of the lovely nuts. (What we won’t do foe a visit!)
Crossing my fingers that I get to try new stuff
This would be wonderful – thanks for the chance!
Nuts and dried fruit are a special part of this season.
The photo of the gift basket is so tempting! Thanks for offering this to your readers. I still have lots of happy memories of your cooking classes at the Fairfield Community Centre – you changed our cooking forever!!
Please, pretty please. I am a nut-a-holic.
Thanks for sharing the bounty Heidi, count me in for delicious seasonal treats!
Perfect time for nuts – I can actually get ahead and start preparing the fruitcake I didn’t make this year.
