Leeks doing their morning stretches.
Our little leeks are happy in the greenhouse. It's easy to forget that the giant leeks you're used to start out more like a blade of grass.

Field lettuce.
I love the seemingly endless options for lettuce colors and textures. Here's just a few of the varieties we're growing.
Baby bunching onion.
We like to crisp up the roots in a pan and add them to our greens/salads. #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians So smart!

Gwendolyn I should try that
-
BethIsGreen I do that all the time. Thanks for sharing. Love your #NoFoodWaste tips!
Cilantro Microgreens
I'm a little obsessed with these right now. They are a pain to harvest, but have such an amazing flavor.
-
sugardetoxme How do you harvest them? Just a sharp pair of scissors snipping away?
-
olivettefarm @sugardetoxme we use sharp harvest knives. They're a little easier to move around in the trays. Same knives we use for lettuce and other leafy greens.
Leafy green harvest today.
A sampling of some of what's coming out of the fields today. Red Russian Kale, Tuscan Kale, Collards & Chard.
