Welcome to our August Farm to Fork in a Box We have carefully curated and hand selected each product, have met each farmer and maker to be sure their products are delicious and their business practices align with SacTown Bites' philosophy. We think of this as a 'food tour in a box' where you get to taste some of the best...
Bloody Marys - people either love them or hate them. We love them! There is nothing more glorious than a good Bloody Mary garnished with fresh celery on a sunny morning. Notice we said 'sunny', not 'Sunday'. We think Bloody Marys are good any day, anytime. Garnishing this cocktail has become an Olympic sport practically, but we like to keep ours pretty simple...
Pomegranates have to be one of the queen of fruits, among many members of fruit royalty, such as Cherimoya, Pitaya, or Manogsteen. Packaged in a rubbery scarlet coating streaked with peach and pink and green – at the bottom – a perfect crown. Inside hundreds of juicy ruby seeds nestled in a pale labyrinth of flesh...
While their olive oils are delicious and award winning, they make one product that is a little gem. We were so excited when we found out about their sun dried olives. The purity of a sun dried olive is magical. These little nuggets are simply Mission variety olives dried in the sun with a hint of salt...
My first thought when it became clear the pandemic was going to keep us all locked down for weeks or months, was, oh boy, a lot of people are going to have to learn to cook! No more grabbing lunch at the food truck with coworkers, or meeting up with friends for tapas and sangria. No brunch!

Blenheim’s are sweet and tart and are wonderful fresh or dried and in preserves, but they mature a little more slowly than other varieties. They also bruise easily...
Is there a better aroma than walking into a coffee shop and getting hit with the smell of coffee beans roasting? We love that smell, and you can experience it every week by visiting one of Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters coffee shops. The expert coffee roasters at Chocolate Fish roast small batches of beans each week for their three cafes and for local restaurants...
One of our favorite things to do as a family on the weekends is to go to the farmers marketto get fresh produce for the week, and perhaps a bouquet of flowers. Well, in truth, it’s my favorite thing to do. But I get eager company with my daughter and husband because the first stop is always at the Upper Crust Baking tables to drool over all the incredible pastry choices that have spread out...
The Davis Farmers Market Cookbook was a natural addition to our monthly boxes because it not only focuses on seasonal cooking, but it also introduces you to the farmers that grow that produce. The Davis Farmers Market is thought to be one of the best in the country. Which is no surprise...
