Like wine aficionados bring favorite vintages from their personal cellars when they dine out, we bring the Baby Brassica Blend (BBB) from our farm. This practice may seem crazy, but one taste of these greens, and you’ll understand why we prefer ours. Who would think the salad could be the best part of the meal?
BBB grows in 22 large beds forming a circle at the heart of the farm. After preparing beds with the right soil mixture, we hand seed in furrows; each bed holds a single variety such as arugula, mustard, kale or mizuna, among others. Beds are rotated, so greens are at different stages of growth; one may have just been seeded, while another is ready for harvest, which is done with scissors. The reward is a great salad.
