2017 Holiday Food Guide
What’s better than delicious (and healthy) snacking on-the-go? The Gluten Free Bar (GFB), a leading brand for fun and flavorful gluten-free snacks, is paving the way in growing the gluten-free “cluster” category with its new line of GFB Bites. Sure to excite you and your taste buds and available in six different flavors, including Dark Chocolate Coconut, Coconut Cashew Crunch, Chocolate Cherry Almond, PB+J, Dark Chocolate Hazelnut, and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, the Bites are available on shelves at club, grocery, mass merchandise, natural foods and supermarket stores nationwide.
Guatemala San Sebastian:
The Falla family of the San Sebastian farm in Antigua are known for their extreme attention to detail. Their coffees are evidence of that care, and we are proud to represent their family here at Ferris with this coffee. Utilizing the Slodry process draws out the sweetness and body in the coffee while also extending its green life. As a bourbon varietal from Guatemala, you’ll also find a gentle malic acidity, like in a red apple. This Tier 3 coffee from Ferris Nut & Coffee carries a great chocolate character along with a heavy body with lingering sweetness.
Costa Rica Sumava:
Finca Sumava de Lourdes in the West Valley region of Costa Rica is one of the most picturesque farms in the country. It is owned by our friend Francisco Mena, who we’ve worked with for a couple of years now. Francisco won 1st place in the 2016 Cup of Excellence competition in Costa Rica for one of the lots on Sumava! Our lot is a natural processed Caturra varietal, and it is probably the cleanest natural I’ve cupped. This coffee has some intensely sweet honey character along with notes of cocoa nib and dried fruits.
These are just a few of the wonderful collection of Ferris Coffee, which you can purchase by visiting them here.

The bars are great for the holiday cookers in the house, to grab a quick bite when you just don't have time.
