Rouge D'Hiver Romaine

An open-pollinated, heirloom variety, Rouge D�Hiver originated in France in l885. This red romaine is unabashedly gorgeous, reliably hardy and perfect for baby greens. Rouge D�Hiver produces large, robust heads of reddish-bronze, green-veined leaves which tolerate both heat and cold well. Even after being dressed, its showy red leaves stay crisp and their heft makes them ideal with weightier salad ingredients. Serve shiny leaves of Rouge D�Hiver on a platter, arranging cooked, chilled beet slices, fennel slivers and toasted walnuts. Dress with a simple walnut oil vinaigrette and snips of chives. Simple, elegant and healthy!

Onion

Leeks and Onions

Pepper: Bell or Sweet

Bell Peppers

Our peppers are on the smaller side due to lower pollination, however this also leads most of them to be seedless. These sweet peppers come in green, red, or yellow – and sometimes an artistic mixture of all three colors.

Pepper: Hot

Aji Amarillo

The size and coloration of this pepper suggests its high heat content. Many people note a smoky flavor when they use this variety. Drying? yes. Scoville Rating: 30,000-50,000. mmm.

Anaheim

This pepper is also referred to as the New Mexico pepper and is the type of pepper used for charred, roasted chiles. It is mildly hot and is fun to use for stuffed peppers, because some can be quite hot while others are mild - it makes for an interesting dinner to see who will get the spicy one! Drying? no. Scoville Rating: 500-2,500.

Ancho/Poblano

This mildly spicy pepper is called 'Poblano' when fresh and 'Ancho' when dried. Drying? yes. Scoville Rating: 2,500-3,000.

Cayenne

The cayenne pepper is the hottest one we grow - so for those in need of heat, steer towards these long, red peppers. They are also reported to have many medicinal benefits from increasing circulation to reducing stomach aches, cramping pains, and gas. Drying? yes. Scoville Rating: 40,000-90,000.

Jalape�o

This popular pepper is named after the city of Xalapa, Veracruz where it is traditionally produced. Jalape�os are known by different names in Mexico, such as cuaresmenos, huachinangos and chiles gordos. A chipotle is a jalape�o that has been smoked. Drying? no. Scoville Rating: 2,500-10,000.

Serrano

The serrano is said to be five times hotter than the jalape�o and never needs to be peeled before using in a dish. Drying? yes. Scoville Rating: 10,000-23,000.

Potato

Root Vegetables

Carrots, Beets, Radish and Potatoes

Radish

French Breakfast

A root vegetable related to the turnip and horseradish family, with a crisp texture and a mild to delicately sweet flavor. The French Breakfast radish has an elongated shape that can grow to approximately three inches in length, displaying a bright red outer skin, which turns white at the root base. There are two main categories of radishes, either the spring or winter radishes, based on the time when they are harvested. Spring radishes are harvested early in their growing season resulting in a smaller radish. The winter radishes are harvested later in their growth and result in a larger round or more elongated shaped vegetable. This radish is considered to be a spring radish, but may be available throughout the year. It is a radish that is generally served raw to be used as hors d'oeuvres or a complement to salads. When selecting, choose radishes that are firm, crisp, and without blemishes. Radishes grown and harvested when temperatures remain hot develop an increased bitterness. Store without the leafy tops and place in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic to keep fresh for several days. It is also known as a Flambo radish.

Swiss Chard

A reliable mild green. We grow bright lights, which has fun colorful stems. Try it sauteed with butter and garlic.

Tatsoi

Our favorite Asian green. Can be harvested small for salad mix or as a large rosette. Beautiful, nutritious, tasty.
