Tierra Farm


Good morning readers! I have a fantastic post to leave you with this fine Friday! It is the weekend and I am SOOOOO glad. I got a package in the mail from a awesome company and I had to wait a little while before posting because of the amount of products they sent me! I was flabbergasted to see what was in my box. I literally yelped! The ever so kind folks at Tierra Farm sent me a variety of nuts, dried fruits, chocolate covered goodies and a jar of the MOST amazing cashew butter that I have ever tried in my life. Not kidding there! Because I got so much I am going to just get started. I am going to show you what I got and then review after.
This is a little bit about Tierra Farm first!
Tierra Farm is a small, privately-owned, certified organic producer and roasting company in upstate New York. We maintain a diversified organic vegetable farm in the Finger Lakes region of New York state, but specialize in nut and seed roasting and dried fruits. At Tierra Farm, we strive for A+ quality in all of our products.
As true believers in organic foods as a way to nurture the land and the body, we only handle and sell certified organic products -- and we make no exceptions! All of our roasting, mixing and flavoring is conducted in-house, at our certified organic, peanut-free roasting and processing facility.
The nut, seed and dried fruit portion of the business was originally an attempt to create a source of income for the winter. That winter job has become a thriving year-around business, thanks to our tasty product selection and a reliable and energetic staff with an eye for quality.
Today, we sell wholesale to natural food co-ops, independent health food stores and direct to consumers over the internet.

Here we go, get ready...

These dried gems made my day as well. I LOVED the mango! No sugar added is such a plus for dried fruit. The flavor was amazing. The cranberries and rasins will surely be in my breakfast bread this week and oats! I have to put a spot light on the raisins though. I have never tasted a better raisin. All the way from Tibet??? Absolutely amazing and infact, I have already ordered more! This is a fantastic find!
