Summer does not end on Labour Day!
Our famous greenhouse grown Rainbow of Heirloom Tomatoes are at their peak through the month of September. The Rainbow of Cherry Tomatoes continue as well. If you are looking for Beefsteak-size Heirloom Tomatoes we can also pack you some of the best tasting varieties from our new trials.
The ever-popular tender Summer Nugget Squash are rather small this year. For this reason we have switched to selling them by the pound – but in most cases your cost is the same or less. Large or small they are perfect for grilling or steaming and an inexpensive way to present an unusual vegetable. We harvest their Squash Blossoms early in the morning to keep them conveniently open – making them easy for you to stuff.
Other summer treats with many many serving possibilities are refreshing Baby Fennel Bulbs, sweet Baby Summer Leeks, tender curly Garlic Scapes, amazingly aromatic Green Coriander Seeds, and sweet and the “oh-so-cute” Baby Bell Peppers.
At the request of several chefs we are reintroducing an assortment of beans. To make them very special we are concentrating on what connoisseurs consider to be the very best of beans – good old fashioned Premium Pole Beans. Broad green and yellow Italian Romano Beans, along with some new hot-weather-tolerant English Runner Beans are the best. Very thin French Filet Beans are another of this year’s choices. For Shelling Beans we have jumbo Chinese Green Soy Beans and delicate fresh green French shelling Flageolet Beans. (Please let us know if you would like us to apple-wood smoke some of these shelling beans for use in very special dishes.) Cool nights this fall mean beautiful Purple Snow Peas!
Rainbow of Swiss Chards are at their summer best. They provide a beautiful and delicious way for your customers to enjoy healthful leafy greens. Heirloom Bloomsdale Spinach is still the best version of this traditional green – and it gets even better as the nights cool.. For more pizzazz try buttery Fava Bean Leaves, nutty Baby Arugulas, zippy Baby Cresses, lingering Hot Mizuna Mustard, or bitter/sweet and aromatic Puntarella Chicory and Wild Dandelion.
For your dessert tables we now have sweet (and non-bitter) Huckleberries and can’t-stop-eating-‘em Husk Cherries. Tiny Wild Elderberries are ready – but order them before the birds get them. All these are great with wild meat dishes.
Summer desserts also cry out for edible flowers! Our mix of small (i.e. very usable) Edible Flowers and Edible Petals (i.e. extra easy-to-use) should remain steadily available. What an easy way to make stunning garnishes!
Summer Salads
Our Baby Salad Greens remain a restaurant icon – particularly in warm weather when a memorable salad is most appreciated. Because of its delicate appearance and full rich flavours, portions can be significantly smaller and with less of an expensive dressing than you may be used to. Very small portions can also be used as a wonderful garnishing salad.
A new addition to our Seedling selection is a formula blend of Mixed Seedlings. They are a convenient and interesting garnish over many presentations.
Summer Roots
Golden, Candy-Cane, Red Cylinder, and White Beets are coming out of our fields sweet and free of bitter oxalic acid because we kept them adequately irrigated. We do the same for our summer Red, Purple, Black, Yellow, White and Orange Carrots. (They aren’t as rich and sweet as they will be in the main fall harvest, but they are pretty good now.) Cool nights have brought on Baby White Turnips and Red Icicle Radish the earliest ever. (They are a little stonger tasting than usual, but cooler days will soon tame them.) The other turnips and radishes are coming right along too.
