Full Menu
Romaine Mix
It’s hard to romaine calm when these greens are on the plate! A farm favorite, the romaine mix is an effervescent blend of crunch and color. Hydrating and nourishing, these make an entree salad, side, or can be wilted in a stir fry. We’ve even added this mix to our smoothies!
Mizuna Microgreens
Don’t mizz out on these mizuna micros! The mild taste and mega doses of vitamins and chlorophyll mean these are best eaten raw. Add pumpkin seeds and sea salt for something seasonal. They taste perfect in salads and bring out the taste of snap peas and habanadas found in this week’s harvest. Sprinkle them into tacos, atop butternut squash or tomato soup, or serve them with breakfast omelets.
Habanada Pepper / Snap peas
These habanada peppers are a treat with a trick — they look like habanero peppers, but lack the heat. Sweet, juicy, and bright, these pumpkin-colored peppers are perfect for your plate! Serve with charcuterie, with this week’s romaine mix, with a basil-based dip, or in a kabob. These peppers have a flavorful crunch that makes them a perfect treat.
Snap peas are superfoods with tons of taste and vital vitamins. These green beauties will climb their way into your heart and onto your plate! Crunchy, cute, and colorful, these seasonal snap peas add to warm stews, pastas, and taste great with dips that include this week’s basil. Add garlic or ginger (or both!) to a stir fry, or zest with lemon and add vinaigrette for a salad. Add to a roasted chicken sandwich with a hint of BBQ sauce.
Basil
It’s aliiiiive! This week’s purple living basil stays fresher, brightens up your kitchen, and lasts longer than cut basil. Place this plant in a warm location, and watch it grow! Living basil plants have a much longer shelf life than harvested, refrigerated basil, and retain more nutrients. Basil is excellent in many flavor profiles, and is a key ingredient in pesto. Pair with garlic to seamlessly blend into Italian foods, incorporate it seamlessly with cucumber or citrus, fresh mild cheeses, or in a meat marinade.
