Herbs & Veggies
(& Fruit)
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. We try to have something in that category year-round, whether that's kale, collards, spinach or lettuce.
Fruit is coming right along as well! Our orchard is young still, but there are a few things we can look forward to within just a couple of years.
