The season begins when I see the kids come from the field with strawberry juice in a halo around their mouths.

Herbs

We also grow a few beds of perennial herbs. In those beds you will find Parsley, Thyme, Oregano, Sage, Rosemary, Lemon Balm and a few others.

Dill

This herb is another we grow a lot of.  It is great to flavor vegetables, eggs, and salad dressings.

Cilantro

Swiss Chard

This is a very popular green for cooking available throughout the summer.  The leaves are similar to beet greens and spinach. Chard is packed with vitamins.

Yellow Summer Squash

Zucchini

Long green and sometimes yellow fruits are harvested for most of the season. Great on the grill, or baked in a bread.

Spinach

Not once, but twice in the season can we offer spinach. This crop does not like the heat so we plant for early spring and fall. This allows for the spinach to be wonderfully sweet.
