Great news from the fields! It looks like nearly none of our Swiss Chard is falling prey to the usual hazards that affect that plant. It looks like it's going to be a bumper season!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year's from your friends at Growlite Farms!

Seasonal Crops

Baby Carrots

Unlike those 'baby-cut' carrots you might find shrinkwrapped in the freezer aisle at the store, our Baby Carrots are specially grown and bred to a smaller size, making them sweeter and more tender than regular carrots. These babies are difficult to grow and generally yield low numbers come harvest time, so if you want to experience the carrot like you never imagined, keep an eye on our twitter feed; we'll let you know when we ship the harvest and where.

Swiss Chard

Widely considered one of the most nutritious greens on the planet and extemely popular in Mediterrainian cuisine, Swiss Chard has been bred for centuries by European farmers, with the earliest crops tracing back to Sicily. Although they are very closely related to beets, chard is known for its bitter taste and the reddish color in the stalk often causes it to be confused with rubarb. Look for our spring crop of Swiss Chard in your local grocery soon!

Artichoke Flowers

A classic taste for foodies that dates all the way back to the ancient Greeks! Our perennial artichoke harvests are a local favorite every spring, and this year is looking to be a bumper crop. Be on the lookout for special deals this year, because really, we're not all that sure if we'll know what to do with the surplus. If you've never tried this succulent flower, steamed with dill and slathered with garlic butter, then we at Growlite Farms cannot attest to your having lived yet!
