Herbs & Veggies
Our herb & vegetable offerings are fresh from the garden. They've never been sprayed with anything, are fertilized only with organic fertilizers, and are picked within a day of hitting the market stand.
What do we grow?
In our family we pretty much grow what we eat. If we don't like it, we don't grow it. If we do like it, we grow it till it comes out our ears. Want to know our favorite recipes? We'll be posting them here soon.
It seems like a lot, but everything is seasonal. At no point in the year is everything harvest-ready at the same time. The only exception for us is leafy greens. In the winter we grow lettuce and spinach in the greenhouse, so it really is a year-round crop. Here are the things we plant every year.
