For a bit of history, we’re keeping this description of what we grew in the Finger Lakes.
In addition to field produce we offered three other specialties — microgreens, edible flowers and dried herb mixes. See below for our comprehensive growing list.
Microgreens
True to our mission, we keep things simple. Our one microgreens mix is a combination of sunflowers and three different radishes. It offers snap and zest and is great on sandwiches, flatbreads, tacos and is an awesome garnish on soups and salads.
Edible Flowers
We grow our edible flowers for color and taste and find that chefs love to use them to brighten a plate as well as create an interesting mix in salad dressings.
Dried Herb Mixes
Our herbs are harvested by hand after the dew has lifted and then gently air dried. No chemicals, no machines. Then, they are blended carefully to produce beautiful complements to creative cooking or to create natural bath and body products. We harvest limited quantities based on the season’s offerings. See what’s happening with our herbal products.
Growing List for 2019
This list below is not all-inclusive but is representative of what we grow. Not all of it is grown in quantities to sell. If you want something specific, just ask. Let’s talk! We also work with allied farmers to supply larger quantities of items such as asparagus, corn, tomatoes, and more.
