We understand the importance of having access to fresh, nutritious vegetables for everyone's health. Our produce is grown right here, just miles from your own home, not trucked across thousands of miles losing vital nutrients along the way and causing mass amounts of pollution to be released into our environment. We are ever conscious of rising fuel costs and know we can provide great, fresh options from around the bend. We use organic methods which allow us to bring you the healthiest produce possible. Below are several of our offerings; if you have a special request that you'd like us to grow for you, please call and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Our Crops
Our signature product - Organic Baby Greens. More nutrient dense and, let's say it, fun than iceberg lettuce, Baby Greens are a perfect base for any salad and work well in a myriad of other uses. Salad greens contain Vitamins A and C, calcium, fiber, beta-carotene, folate and phytonutrients.We start with the finest seed and our own blend of compost, topsoil and green sand to ensure our Baby Greens are growing in the best, nutrient rich soil around. Available fresh picked every day throughout the summer and fall. We use biodegradable corn based plastic bags, but welcome you to bring a container to fill with these greens if you prefer.
Arugula is a spicy accent to any salad and can also be used instead of basil in pesto sauce. It can also be cooked in a saute and is popular in Italian cuisine. Sometimes called rocket or rugula, this green is also low in calories and high in Vitamins A and C. Arugula is known for its somewhat hot, peppery flavor. We have Arugula available throughout the summer months and into the fall.
This variety of cherry tomato, known as Yellow Pear Tomato adds a glorious, sunny color to any plate. These delightfully sweet and flavorful tomatoes are a winner with children and adults alike. Very versatile, Yellow Pear Tomatoes taste great in salads, topped on crostini with mozzarella and olive oil, sautéed in any pasta dish or on their own as a quick snack. These tomatoes are available from mid-summer through the fall. In addition to Yellow Pear tomatoes, we are also growing our very popular Tri-Color mix with the sweetest orange, yellow and red varieties around!
In addition to the great vegetables highlighted above, we also grow head lettuce varieties in Romaine, Red Leaf and Butterhead, Radishes, Cucumbers, Slicing Tomatoes, Eggplant, Broccoli, Broccoli Rabe, three kinds of Beans (just to name a few!) and we are always open to your requests or recommendations. Our 2011 season will have even more produce options! We are growing over 40 varieties of vegetables! Check back soon for full details!
