Holiday Gift Guide: Food & Beverage
Nestled in the coastal hills of Northern California near the town of Tomales, Stemple Creek Ranch has been home to the Poncia family for four generations.
Our history in Marin County began over a century ago when Angelo Poncia immigrated to the remote outpost of Fallon from his native Italy. The dairy he originally established on this land survived for three successive generations.
Today, Stemple Creek Ranch is proudly run by Angelo’s great-grandson Loren, and his wife Lisa, who have reinvented the family business with a vision for raising superior quality grass fed and finished meats.
Our goal is to work in harmony with Mother Nature to promote optimal biodiversity that ensures the long term health and productivity of the ranch. We use regenerative, organic agricultural practices, which means we seek to enhance and rehabilitate our entire ecosystem by focusing on soil health and increasing carbon in our land.
Most of our pastureland is Certified Organic, and our free range beef and lamb are 100% grass fed and grass finished. We rotationally graze our stock on open pasture from birth to harvest. They are never supplemented with grains, corn, or soy, and never receive artificial hormones, growth promotants, or antibiotics. Our pigs are humanely raised in large outdoor pens where they enjoy a vegetarian diet with plenty of room to socialize and express natural behaviors.
Stemple Creek Ranch knows the importance of family time and brings folks together for a quality meal during holiday gatherings. The family-owned brand is leading the way in regenerative agriculture while offering premium meats often served in Michelin star restaurants. Families nationwide can enjoy these delicious offerings delivered right to their doorsteps for them to easily prepare on their own. A fourth-generation farmer, Loren Poncia runs the farm with his wife, Lisa. They are strong believers that grass-fed and grass-finished animals make the best selections for their customers. The farm is located in Marin County in Northern California. The beef, lamb, and pork are raised on organic pastures and all animals are treated with respect and care.

Tea’s the season to ring in holiday cheer with the arrival of Stash Tea’s Limited Edition Holiday Flavors. Dust off the stockings, untangle the twinkly lights, and get out your Christmas mug! It’s time to gather around Stash’s holiday teas because there’s nothing like the festive flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, peppermint, or chocolate to get the celebration going.
Stash’s family of five enchanting and decadent holiday teas capture the flavors of the season! Need an energy boost? Christmas Morning and Holiday Chai will pick you up and leave you feeling jolly. Ready for yuletide cheer without caffeine? Try a cup of Stash’s delightful herbal classic Christmas Eve. Or is it a little sprinkle of magic you seek? While White Christmas might be a larger-than-life tea blend, Christmas in Paris is the true matriarch of this family, bringing all the magic there is in one bag of tea.
Christmas Morning: Remember the excitement on Christmas morning when you were a kid? This blend captures all that special holiday cheer with flavors that grow in intensity with every sip. When you brew it, the full-bodied aroma of brisk black tea is the first clue that a special day is on its way. The choice for your holiday morning treat, this caffeinated blend you will get a well-deserved and welcomed boost that will help you keep up with those who didn’t stay up late playing Santa Claus.
Holiday Chai: This holiday chai will make you believe in Christmas miracles. We combined some of the finest types of teas in the world, including a robust Assam and aromatic Darjeeling, to make this special black chai tea. We blended these teas with traditional chai spices like cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and clove… but then we cranked up the holiday cheer to the next level. We added natural flavors of gingerbread, nutmeg, and rum to give this chai a unique, jolly twist that you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
Christmas Eve: This tea will have you singing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to your teacup. Flavors of orange, spearmint, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla come together like a Christmas carol, and make this Christmas tea a superb blend to harmonize with.

While sharing a cup of this sweet and spicy tea with loved ones the night before the big day does make for a delicious tradition, sipping this blend any of the other 364 evenings can bring about some of that same Christmas cheer.

Christmas in Paris will no doubt become your new holiday tea favorite You can enjoy it as a “hot chocolate” tea as well just by adding a splash of milk (or your favorite non-dairy substitute) and sugar (or the sweetener of your choice) to create the ultimate substitution for calorie-dense hot cocoa.
