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

This wonderfully fragrant herb shows up in many dishes the most common is salsa. We plant successions of so there is never a shortage to pick.

Flowers

This is one of the great experiences of the u-pick section. An array of beautiful flowers to make a bouquet to bring home every week.

Turnips

Turnips are a misunderstood vegetable. We grow a variety called Hakurei that is a beautiful white globe that is sweet and juicy, with the emphasis on sweet. It is great in salads.

Sweet Potato

This crop is sometimes tricky to grow here in northern climates. Usually grown in warmer temperatures.

Winter Squash

The last of the cucurbit family to be harvested. Not only do we grow butternut, we grow sweet dumplings, hubbards, and delicata. All come in interesting shapes and sizes.

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.

Rutabaga

People not familiar with rutabagas are often surprised at their sweet flavor. This crop is harvested in the fall and lasts through the winter. It is great roasted in the oven.

Radishes
