Citrus Crunch Lettuce Blend
Lettuce blend with Green & Red Sorrel
This colorful blend has a colorful citrus flavor! Our freshly harvested citrus blend is a feel-good combination of crunchy romaine and gentle sorrel for an effervescent mix of red and green colors with a tangy crunch. At our Arlington, VA farm, this locally crafted blend is medicinal produce containing healthy nutrients that help reduce blood pressure and bone growth. Sorrel has vitamin C to help fight infections.
We love the citrus taste of this blend in a salad, and our farming experts recommend it as a bed for quinoa, farro, or pilafs. Blend with rich berries and chevre for an entreé salad. Light oil or vinegar-based dressings bring the flavors forward!
Kale Microgreens
Check the kale-ender — it’s microgreen time! Nutrient-packed kale microgreens have chlorophyll and cold-busting, immune boosting vitamins. These micros have the taste of kale with a smooth, hydrating crunch. Add them to sandwiches, atop a citrus blend salad to add dimensions of flavor and texture, or use with egg dishes, or in smoothies. We grow this food in your neighborhood, meaning we can bring the farm straight to your door every week. Kale-lelujah!
Leeks
Sweet leeks bring luck and immune-fortifying vitamins. Anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory, the onion-chive flavor palette works well in quiches, pastas, and breakfast dishes. Add butter and a bit of salt to slow roast these in a skillet for 15 minutes and add to meat, mushroom, or eggplant main courses. Grown in our SILO, these versatile veggies are one more reason to eat local!
Green and Purple Sage
Be wise like a sage and incorporate this week’s herbs, purple and green sage, into your meals and beverages! Sage has a woodsy aroma and a savory taste that invokes introspection. With immune-fortifying vitamins, sage is often used as a tonic for body and spirit. Our farmers recommend infusing it into butter. Include with a crisp salad or add to any olive oil based sauce. Roasted cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cheese-based pastas come alive with added sage. Perfect for use in a refreshing beverage!
Buzz Button + Lemon Verbena
Enter a state of bliss with one of the most powerful herbal medicines on the farm!
Make your mouth sparkle! Bright buzz button flowers and velvety, aromatic lemon verbena elevate beverages and dishes with flavor, aroma, and medicinal value. Buzz buttons will boost a mood, and lemon verbena is smooth.
Buzz flowers release a substance when chewed, that give the mouth a delicious buzzed feeling. They’re a perfect addition to lemonade or martinis, to top your buzz with a buzz! Freeze your lemon verbena in ice cube trays to simply infuse into the beverage. Punch up a party with these farm-grown delights!
