Spring Greens at Better Farm
/The season has started at Better Farm
with lots of fresh produce available for sale to the community. Please contact us at (315) 482-2536 or info@betterfarm.org to place an order!
Here's what we've got available so far:
Organic Asparagus
$3/bunch
Our
is grown in raised beds on the property. Instead of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, we employ lasagna gardening methods (also called sheet or
). Because we utilize hay, cardboard, fresh compost, organic manure from our chickens, and other
methods, our asparagus is free of all chemicals, totally organic, and completely delicious.
Organic Looseleaf Lettuce
$1.50/bunch or $6/6 oz.
This crop of organic, looseleaf lettuce was grown indoors in Better Farm's
setup. Utilizing fish waste to fertilize and nourish our plants, this lettuce is raised in a gravel bed and gets its sun-like rays from a grow light hovering overhead. Because it grows inside, the leaves are never exposed to harsh elements or winds; making for the tenderest lettuce you're likely to ever taste.
Organic Chives
$2/handful
This is the fourth season for our chives, which make a great addition to any recipe. Add fresh to salads, stocks, stir-fries, bakes, or marinades; or dry it out for months of use in your favorite dishes. Our chives are grown alongside the asparagus in raised mulch-garden beds.
Free-Range Eggs From Happy Hens
$3/dozen
Okay, not a "green", but we have lots of karmically balanced eggs available from Better Farm's hens!
Scarlet, Bernadette, Delores, Destiny's Child, the
, and all the
enjoy fresh grass, organic leftovers, and yummy feed (not to mention endless pounds of all the centipedes, spiders, ticks, mosquitoes, bees, and worms they can find!) all day long as they have free range of Better Farm's entire property. These hens are spoiled to the Nth degree; and it shows in their amazing eggs. Variety of colors (brown, pale blue/green, and white) available.
Stay tuned as more and more crops come to bloom!
