Our Veggies

Our focus is on heirloom and open-pollinated varieties and local seed sources. We never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides in our growing practices. Our goal is to provide a diverse mix of seasonal vegetables from week-to-week, including many familiar vegetables and some less familiar, specialty varieties.

Below is a library of the vegetables we grow. Some variation from this is guaranteed due to seed availability, growing conditions, farmer interest and customer demand. Take a look:

Leeks: Tadorna

Leeks: Tadorna (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes)

This variety of Kohlrabi is slightly faster growing than it’s purple counterpart, and therefore slightly sweeter tasting and more tender.

TOP

Leeks: Tadorna

Leeks: Tadorna (Allium ampeloprasum var. porrum)

These leeks have dark green leaves and a thick, blanched stalk that reaches 15 cms. A mild flavoured leek that retains its firm texture when cooked.

Leeks: Varna

Leeks: Varna (Allium ampeloprasum var. Porrum)

The ultimate fast growing summer leek. Produces thin white stalks that can reach a length of 35 cms.

Lettuce: Baby Green

Lettuce: Baby Green (Latuca sativa)

This mini romaine lettuce is certainly one of the finest tasting lettuces. Perfect for salads and sandwiches.

TOP

Lettuce: Coastal Star

Lettuce: Coastal Star (Latuca sativa)

This tall, dark, romaine lettuce has tightly packed heads that mature quickly. Crisp texture and a pleasant flavour.

Lettuce: Conquistador

Lettuce: Conquistador (Latuca sativa)

Big, open romaine, great for Caesar salads.
