These are the best turnips around. We love them as they are very versatile. They can be enjoyed raw, grated on salads, steamed, sliced in a stir-fry – even baked. They are very mild with an almost sweet flavour. They originate in Japan where they are treasured. And the tops are nice as well as [...]

Micro-Greens Micro-greens are standard component of the weekly baskets and are contained in one of the plastic bags you receive. These marvelous, delicate, micro-vegetables are full of flavour and contain lots of healthy nutrients. We are in the process of dramatically changing the micro-greens so that they are different every week. Instead of a mix [...]
We have lots of cabbage this year - green, red, round, pointed, oriental, savoy, ruffled. They can all be used in the same fashion and are so fresh and flavourful. And our cabbage is of course grown without the usual toxic chemicals found on conventional cabbage (even "local" conventional). Due to [...]
Bok Choy One of our favourite oriental vegetables, bok choy (also known as Pak Choy) is a wonderful addition to any meal. It can be chopped up and eaten raw or cooked. We bring a fry pan full of water with scape and lemon balm (or anything else) to a boil and cut [...]
Our customers asked for them - so here they are! Sunflower shoots - grown in soil, not in water. Some of the baskets may contain them but generally they are available to our "Greens Only" customers and as an Add-On. Enjoy!!
