You may have noticed your lettuce and greens look and feel a little different. That's because we have moved them indoors to our greenhouse "still soil grown" to protect them from the Ohio elements. They have the same great flavor and nutrients but are a little less sturdy.  Hope you enjoy them just the same!

One of our signature crops is fresh spinach -- and we offer multiple varieties. Our delicious root spinach tastes mild, fresh, green and buttery, with natural sugar content off the charts! Brix readings are literally as high as an apple. Our spinach starts off sweet tasting, then finishes with nutty-buttery flavor. For a variety of fresh spinach with a mildly bitter taste progressing into earthiness, choose tropical spinach with its bright red stem and small reddish-green leaves. Our promise: we’ll never grow fresh spinach for maximum yield. Instead, we grow for flavor and nutrition.

The beauty of salads, Chef Jamie Simpson from the Culinary Vegetable Institute shares, is that the farmer has already done nearly all the work for you. When enjoying fresh salad ingredients that were regeneratively farmed and harvested at the peak of ripeness with love at The Chef’s Garden, you benefit from the maximum in flavor and nutrition. Salads can serve as a mouth-watering main entrée or the perfect side dish, and you can add different seasonal ingredients each time to make your salad a uniquely wonderful taste experience.  

They are a perfect prep ahead meal to take to work or school. You can also use salad greens to stretch leftovers into a filling and nourishing meal. 

Salads are packed with phytonutrients (including antioxidants), vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are a great way to increase your intake of vitamins A,C,E, folate, and K and to support a healthy gut microbiome. The high fiber and lower carbohydrate content of this nutrient dense box may help to stabilize blood sugar following a meal and our bitter greens may help to improve digestion by stimulating your own digestive juices.  

To retain the most nutrients from these vegetables it is best to eat them raw, blanched, or lightly sautéed.

Exactly what’s included in each of our salad boxes will vary by season, but they’ll always be perfectly curated with just the right amount of farm fresh greens and other veggies. 

This box contains vegetables for two for approximately one week.

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor. 

Blend Includes:

• Broccoli
• Arugula
• Chinese cabbage
• Purple Radish
• Red Mustard

Health Benefits

This antioxidant blend of brassica microgreens is a great source of vitamins (A, Folate, C, E, K), minerals (iron, potassium, calcium), phytonutrients (carotenoids, glucosinolates (I3C and sulforaphane), polyphenols), and fiber.

It all started with Brassica oleracea, the common plant that started the now large brassica vegetable family! Brassica (aka cruciferous) vegetables are part of the mustard family (genus Brassicaceae) and cabbage family - giving them their sometimes “spicy” flavor.

The beautiful part of microgreens is that ounce for ounce they are more nutrient-dense than their full-size counterparts and are super easy to incorporate into meals.

Harvesting plants at the microgreen stage results in:

• Higher levels of vitamins (C, folate, thiamin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, niacin, etc.).
• Lower levels of “antinutrients” like phytate, oxalate, and tannins.
• Enhanced flavor
• Improved availability and absorption of minerals like iron and calcium
• Enhanced digestibility of protein found in the plant

Brassica vegetables have been studied to potentially:

• Prevent oxidative stress (which damages cells) by providing antioxidants
• Benefit neurodegenerative disease and heart disease
• Turn on detox enzymes in your body
• Increase phase II detoxification
• Support healthy detoxification and elimination of estrogen metabolites.
• May be beneficial for hormonal balance and prevention of estrogen-sensitive cancers.
• Support the immune system
• Decrease chronic inflammation
• Reduce the risk of cancers
• Lung, colon, pancreatic, breast, bladder, and prostate cancers
• Reduce and/or slow growth of cancer cells

Cooking (boiling) reduces the level of glucosinolates so we recommend that you consume these microgreens raw to obtain the most beneficial nutrients,

Looking to get the most brassica benefit from your microgreens? Chew mindfully! Chewing helps to break up the cell walls of the microgreens which release the enzyme myrosinase. Myrosinase can then come into contact with the glucosinolates changing them into isothiocyanates (like sulforaphane). Your gut bacteria help too, but chewing, chopping, etc. have the greatest impact on increasing sulforaphane (which is one of the most well-known beneficial phytochemicals in brassicas).

Put this blend in everything! We suggest putting a handful of these microgreens in your:

• Salads
• Sandwiches/Wraps
• Smoothies
• Savory Oatmeal
• Eggs

**Disclaimer: If undergoing chemotherapy only consume with the direction of your oncology provider. If low thyroid (or low iodine) concerns talk with your medical practitioner prior to consuming large quantities.

Watercress is ranked #1 on the CDC’s list of Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables because it is super nutrient-dense containing 100% of the DV of Vitamin K, 25% of the DV of Vitamin A, and 25% of the DV of Vitamin C in just one cup.  Remember to optimally absorb Vitamins A and K (fat-soluble vitamins) enjoy your watercress with a good quality high polyphenol olive oil. 

Cruciferous vegetables, such as watercress, broccoli sprouts, kale, and radish greens contain sulforaphane, which is a sulfur-rich compound that has been shown to provide a number of health benefits.

Farmer Jones Farm Gomasio is a seasoning composed primarily of toasted sesame seeds, delicate flakes of kosher salt, and a blend of herbs from The Chef's Garden. With ingredients like bee pollen, fennel pollen, and alliums playing supporting roles, this batch of gomasio is a friend to many foods.

In this batch of gomasio, we leaned into ingredients that pair nicely with winter vegetables. While it excels on spinach salads and root vegetables, its talent for seasoning savory foods is ambidextrous. Consider Brussels Sprouts, Sweet Potatoes, Beets, Cauliflowers, Spinach (cooked or raw).

Most applications of gomasio are as a finishing component. Still, it is well suited to be an ingredient included in the cooking process (sesame crusted anything just got better) It can be used with crunchy breadcrumbs for a crispy breading, directly in marinades for meats and vegetables, and as the salt in homemade soups or sauces.
