Granny Smith Apples (5 lb bag) East Bay/Peninsula

These are the popular variety of avocado with the dark bumpy skin and creamy green flesh, high in the rich healthy oils that make it so deliciously flavorful. Use in guacamole, put on toast, or just eat straight. Avocados mature on the tree but are not ready to eat until they soften off the tree.

This year we are offering a collection of farm treats from Mariquita Farm and our neighbors at Belle Farms and Fruitilicious Farms. We have created a gift bag which includes Belle Farms olive oil, Apple/Quince Jelly, rose petals and a selection of herbs and herbal infusions.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" includes Sage (8 g bag), Summer Savory (12 g bag) and Thyme OR Lemon Thyme -- it will be one or the other (8 g bag) -- perfect for seasoning your tomato sauces! The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.

These are jalapeños harvested after they've turned sweet and spicy fire! Great to add some sweet heat to salsa or stir fries. Or, make sriracha!
