Full Menu
Romaine Mix
Romaine is believed to be one of the oldest varieties of lettuce and is a classic at our organic farm. We’re most impressed by its versatility – you can eat it raw of course, but since it can withstand high heat, cooked romaine is a great option - especially when winter demands warm dishes that pack a nutrient punch to stave off a cold. Locally grown foods have more vitamins and taste better; our romaine mix is no exception.
Sunflower Shoots
Harvested when the first leaves appear, sunflower shoots are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and even protein, as well as a game changer in the kitchen. You can easily incorporate them into any snack or meal to add nutrient richness. They have a mild, nutty flavor; they make raw dishes crunchier, and give that sometimes necessary texture to cooked food. Some microgreens are damp and need to be consumed quickly before they lose their freshness, but sunflower shoots will stay crunchy for the week with no fuss.
Curled Parsley
Parsley is a medicinal herb grown locally at our Arlington, VA farm and a culinary classic. We believe this fresh, bright green is essential in the kitchen, especially in the winter months when immunity against the cold and flu is paramount. Parsley is high in antioxidants and Vitamin C (take that oranges), so know that when you add it raw to salads and dressing or use it to heighten flavors in sauces or marinades, you’re contributing to your overall well-being.
Baby Candy Cane Beets
You don’t have to add sugar to these candy canes! These specialty beets are earthy, yet sweeter than other beets; and their cool appearance promises to make any dish festive. Our farmers use them raw in salads, on charcuterie boards, or sprinkled onto roasted meats. We’re able to grow specialty produce like these beets for our community because we moved the farm.
Dried Herb Salt
Oregano, rosemary, thyme, and dill combine to make this perfect dried-herb salt, versatile and delicious in both taste and texture. Use this like any salt – so - on everything. We think it’s particularly special when added to warmed nuts, popcorn, or buttered toast.
