Mooney Farms Sun-Dried Tomato Products (Review and Giveaway)

Closed.  And, the winner is:  Sam Buck






I have been in heaven with the products Mooney Farms sent me to review.  Their product line has given me an excuse to spend time in the kitchen cooking up some hearty Italian dishes, breads for bruschetta and making homemade pasta sauce.  In addition, I even tried my hand at a few of the recipes included on the jars of each of the Bella Sun Luci products sent my way.  

If you have never heard of Mooney Farms or the Bella Sun Luci product line, then you have been missing out.  After reading a few blog reviews about this product line, I knew I had to try it out for myself and share these wonderful and tasty products with you.  Just look at what Mooney Farms so kindly sent me for review:  






With so many ways to use and incorporate the sun-dried tomatoes into your dishes, you are bound to receive compliments from family and friends who savor dishes with these tomatoes in them.  My husband couldn't stop raving about the bruschetta and pesto sauce.  He especially loved the chicken and mushroom dish I created, in which I added the Italian herb tomato halves to.  I had so much fun playing around with these products in the kitchen and creating or vamping up old Italian family favorites.  I will definitely be buying Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomatoes products from now on.  And, you will too, after you try them for yourself.  It is so easy to turn a plain dish (including salads) into something amazing and tantalizing, just by adding some sun dried tomatoes to it.  And, you don't have to be a chef to truly enjoy and appreciate this product line.


About Mooney Farms:

Mooney Farms began in 1987 as a family owned kiwi farming operation. Products were sold at the farmer’s markets in Northern California by the family members. With the addition of sun dried tomatoes, their first sale to Price Club South San Francisco changed everything. The family’s Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil & Herbs sold out in a record 4 hours! Sun dried tomatoes had become mainstream and the Mooney Family had the winning recipe!


In 1994, Mooney Farms moved to a larger facility located in Chico, California to meet the growing demand for their products. Recently remodeled and expanded, the 100,000 square foot facility reflects their family’s rich history of the Mediterranean with 200 year old olive trees planted among the rows of lavender and rosemary.


The Mooney Family originates from Sonoma County and has always appreciated the natural beauty and style of Sonoma’s Vineyard landscapes and wineries which line the beautiful farming valley’s. Reminiscent of this area, they have created a beautiful rustic Italian style tasting room and storefront, which welcomes you to their family business.
