Just like you can eat the roots on your leeks - you can also eat the roots on your scallions/green onions! They're great crisped up in a pan real quick. #NoFoodWaste
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

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.
