Produce
We grow a wide variety of vegetables to fill your plate! Our grandmothers used to tell us we needed a minimum of 5 colors on our plate at every meal. We grow many familiar heirloom products as well as some fun-snacking vegetables. How many Mexican cucumbers can YOU fit in your mouth? (Hint: it’s more than 2 but less than 10!)

Microgreens
Microgreens are incredible sources of flavor, fiber, and nutrients! Some microgreens have been said to have hundreds of times more nutrition than the full-grown plant! We like to put them on sandwiches, in smoothies, on salads, in eggs, or on pretty much anything that needs color and crunch.
Microgreen Varieties
- Pea – Known for having a ton of Vitamin C and a notably significant source of iron. Like other microgreens, they are high in fiber. Can anyone say “heart healthy?”
- Radish – Known for being rich in essential amino acids and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and potassium. These guys are even a little spicy! Add more than just health; add some spice to your dish.
- Broccoli – Even if you don’t like broccoli, you’ll like this. Broccoli greens provide vitamins A and C, phosphorus, iron, and a phytochemical called sulforaphane. What is this sulforaphane? It’s a sulfur-rich compound known to reduce inflammation.
- Arugula – Did you know a microgreen can provide calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, potassium, and iron? These microgreens are the most prominent in the salad mix we grow.
- Sunflower – Yeah, we all love to look at the pretty flowers, and some like to eat the roasted seeds, but sunflower microgreens have a wealth of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin D, and even lutein, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. This is a great option for adding a nutritional boost to your daily routine.
- Beets – The microgreens are less earthy and a bit sweeter than their grown-up vegetable. They are fiber-rich with iron, nitrate, folic acid, and antioxidants.
- Clover – These microgreens are rich in Vitamins A, B, C, and K and bring in some zinc, magnesium, and protein to round out a powerful boost. They are known for their nutty flavor and juicy yet crunchy texture.
Edible Flowers
Edible flowers are super cool. They are pretty, make me smile, AND some offer refuge for helpful insects in the garden. What’s not to love?!
Flower Varieties
- Nasturtium – Blossoms are edible and are sweet to even a little spicy. They add beauty and zest to any salad or platter.
- Sunflower – Yep, you know you can eat the seeds, but did you know you can eat the flower too? The sunflower bud tastes a lot like artichoke.
- Pansies – These are growing in popularity for garnishing chocolate desserts, cocktails, and salads. They taste a little floral and may even have a hint of mint.
- Hibiscus – A favorite in the GY6F family! Not only are these gorgeous, but they are berry-like flavored and can be a little tart. Favorite use is for teas and garnish.
Spices
Spices, spices, and more spices! That’s one of our favorite things to create. Spice blends to enhance any meal and some of your favorite flavors are available. Fire Flakes are a staple in our home – these come from a combination of various peppers ranging from sweet Carnival to hot Fish peppers. Fresh Flakes are much milder and bring a little zest to things like grilled cheese and pizza.
Pantry Items
The pantry is usually stocked with a variety of jellies, jams, and jarred tomato products (sauce, paste, diced, whole, etc). Dehydrated products range from sundried cherry tomatoes to full-on dehydrated potatoes. We’re always experimenting with new dehydrated flavor/spice combinations, so be sure to head on over to our online store to browse our current inventory!
Plants
Not much is more satisfying than harvesting something from your own plant in your own home! We know how much we enjoy eating cherry tomatoes from the plant when we harvest, so we try to share that excitement with customers who want to try their hand at growing at home. Each spring, we make starter plants available. We tend to keep a rotating stock of herbs or flowers available as the year goes on as well.
