If we lived in Northern Italy, this type of chicory would be very commonplace. However, in Canada, it is rarely grown. We love it as a Fall crop which gets so very sweet after repeated frosts. We use it in a Fall salad mix and hope you enjoy it. It is so beautiful to look [...]
This is a work of art and absolutely gorgeous in our lettuce mix. Enjoy!!

Red (purple), green, ruffled, and more - cooking mustards. Cook as you would any other cooking green - but this one cooks very quickly (just wilt it) and there is no need to remove the stems as they are very tender. We stir fry them with a splash of olive oil, garlic, pepper and [...]

A pile of organic Italian flat beans. These Italian Romano beans are great on their own - or as they get larger are good in stews. Great flavour and are known by various names world-wide!

Our melons are grown for their flavour! When you cut them open, they have red, pink, yellow, or orange flesh - they all are very sweet! Kids of all ages will go crazy for these heirloom melons! And they haven't been pumped full of chemical fertilizers like those conventional farmers grow! Enjoy!!
