It's not much longer until the first day of Spring and we are SO looking forward to a fantastic 2023 growing season. But. I would be lying if I said I'm not thankful for winter and the season of rest. We accomplished a lot last year and that's something to celebrate! We also have accomplished some big goals already for 2023! Jeff started the Microgreens project in January and by the end of January we had our Microgreens in the cooler case at Polks Folly Market in Cedar Crest, NM.

Our offerings included: Sunflower, Pea, Broccoli, Rambo Radish and the very popular East Mountain Mix. In early March, we added NEW Microgreens products to our offerings: Wasabi Mustard, Arugula, a beautiful purple Kohlrabi, and the extremely popular Sandia Spicy Mix.

If you love spicy things, be sure to grab some Sandia Spicy Mix (and an extra container of Wasabi Mustard, it's my favorite!).
