Full Menu

Crystal Lettuce

It’s crunch time — but there’s no need to speed through this emerald crystal lettuce. Antioxidant-rich greens grown in nutrient infused soil have a distinct texture and sweet, light flavor that creates memorable dishes. For salad, add the warmth of this week’s Hakurei turnips. Grated cheese and candied nuts can add dimension. Toss with oil or a light dressing to expertly mix taste notes. 

You can easily incorporate this colorful blend into appetizers and entrées! Sweet and delicate, crystal lettuce has a hydrating quality that makes it perfect for dishes like tacos and luncheon sandwiches, or added to our micro mix for an effervescent entrée salad.

Micro Medley

A blend of Kale and Arugula Microgreens

Nutrient-packed arugula and kale microgreens contain chlorophyll and are rich in vitamins C, K, and A. Anti-inflammatory and promoting digestion, these micros bring out the best in paninis, atop a spinach or Caesar salad, with egg dishes, or even in smoothies. We grow this food in your neighborhood, meaning we can bring the farm straight to your door every week. We love this earthy micro mix added to grilled cheese, chicken salad, and as a spritzer topping for cream based pastas and dips. 

Turnips

TurnUP for Turnips! Seasonal warmth, spice, and earthy flavor turns a regular meal into an autumnal experience. These freshly harvested versatile root vegetables add layers of taste and texture. Famously good raw, turnips can enhance meats and kabobs from the grill. Try them with some added olive oil and prepare on the stove for 30 mins. At snack times, sprinkle with sesame seeds or sea salt, or use creatively with miso, ginger, or orange. You can shave them into any dish. For a treat, douse with truffle oil!

Marjoram

Marjoram is a majorly tasty medicinal herb, used for centuries as a mild antibiotic. This sweeter, more delicate version of oregano is best used to add dimension and warmth to a dish. Try it in a stew or bisque, or add to pasta or a mixed grill. Marjoram can be used in high quantities without being overly dominant as a flavor profile. Tomato and broth-based soups will shine when marjoram is added to the mix. Add to savory sauces, marinades and glazes, and to add flavor to egg and rice-based dishes. 

Frosted Peppermint

Fall is in the air, and this herbaceous treat brings the crisp straight to your door. A woodsy pick-me-up on its own, added to refreshing teas and cocktails, it’s a star. Add your frosted peppermint to dips, spreads and jams, or to buttered toast. Serve with fruits or add to gelato and chocolate-based desserts. Cooling peppermint can help a headache or a seasonal cold.
