Full Menu
Asian Blend
Our freshly harvested Asian blend has layers of light flavor that’s perfect with ginger, mustard, or miso-based dressings. This balanced mix works well as a base for a salad, and will bring out the flavor of spring onions and microgreens. Add some butter, garlic powder, and a little pepper if you wilt these greens to create a bed for quinoa or plant-based meats. We’ve moved the farm to your Arlington, VA neighborhood to bring the world of healthy food to you, so these Asian-inspired greens don’t have to go far to be delivered to your door!
Red Cabbage Micro
Roll out the red carpet for these microgreens! Red cabbage microgreens have major nutritional value and a sweet, earthy taste. A major superfood, these micros have electrolytes and fiber. These add color and flavor to summer dips, tacos, or sprinkled atop grilled veggies and meats. We use nutrient-enriched soil to thoughtfully grow these healthy micros!
Mojito Mint
We’re toasting you this week with mojito mint! Make a cocktail or NA beverage with simple syrup or bubbly water and our mojito mint. The leaves are also fun to freeze into ice cubes or use in tea and smoothies. And you can make our mint syrup. Mint can boost your mood and help with headaches.
Mojito mint is for more than just drinks. It’s smoother than spearmint and has hints of citrus. Make a meal of prosciutto, cantaloupe, lemon juice, and mojito mint. You can use this mint to make tzatziki, or any kefir-based dish.
Spring Onion
It might be late summer, but spring onions are the perfect addition to lots of recipes, and can be used as a garnish. Scrumptious whether raw, julienned, or stir-fried, these bulbs pack in the taste and nutrition for an end of the season treat. Fiber-rich and vitamin heavy, these bulbs improve mood and stave off colds.
Add shredded spring onions from your local, Arlington, VA farm to top meat dishes, or add them to taco fillings. With a garlic sauce, spring onions pair with a variety of Asian dishes, and taste great atop the Asian blend in this week’s harvest. For a crudité dip, add to dill and sour cream. We love them on burgers and hot dogs, too!
Wasabi Arugula
Discover the exceptional allure of Wasabi Arugula, a peppery delight that elevates your culinary experience. This unique leafy green, also known as "Wasabi Rocket," boasts a distinct flavor reminiscent of traditional wasabi with a hint of spiciness. Incorporate it into salads, sandwiches, or even pesto for an invigorating twist. It pairs wonderfully with citrus fruits, cheeses, and nuts, adding depth to a variety of dishes. Not only does Wasabi Arugula tantalize the taste buds, but it also brings potential health benefits, including antioxidant richness, anti-inflammatory properties, digestive aid, and a wealth of essential vitamins and minerals. Embrace this versatile green to infuse both your plate and well-being with a touch of zing and nourishment.
