WHAT VEGETABLES DO YOU GROW?
All of your favorites, including: lettuce, beets, carrots, kale, potatoes, radishes, sweet corn, garlic, green beans, peas, rhubarb, asparagus, kohlrabi, and onions.
ARE YOUR GREENS, LETTUCES AND OTHER VEGGIES WASHED?
The answer is “only if we have to”. Greens will keep much longer in your fridge if they are not washed. Storage crops store longer if they still have dirt on them. We’ll wash some but not all vegetables.
WILL MY VEGGIES ALWAYS LOOK PERFECT?
No. We Americans have become used to cosmetically perfect vegetables, because the grocery store is full of veggies that have been raised in an almost factory-like environment with lots of chemicals and genetic engineering with the goal being high yields and uniformity at the expense of taste. Our veggies are grown with no fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. We also grow mostly heirloom varieties of veggies that have been selected over the years for how good they taste versus how good they look.
