Pink Lady Apple

Pink Lady apples are refined and sweet. Their skin ranges from pinky-yellow to red with a green blush. Under it all a creamy flesh, sweet and tart, with a honey taste. They all have the poise of a lady, and yes, that is a dimple underneath.

Watercress

Life semi-aquatic, the watercress floats dreamily waiting to be plucked. This water nymphy member of the cabbage family is high in calcium, folic acid, antioxidants, iron, and iodine. Served on sandwiches, as the English do, it is such a delight!

Honey

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called." - A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh.

Yellow & Orange Baby Carrots

Not just little bunnies love baby carrots. Ideal for dipping or snacking on raw. Carrot seeds are super tiny and so are broadcast over
the seedbed. Many carrots will grow in a crowd and need to be thinned to make room. That's how we get little ones.

Davidson Exotic Mushrooms, Kennett Square PA

Shiitake Mushrooms

Delicious fresh or dried, shiitakes have been a staple in Asian cuisines for at least 1000 years.  In addition to high amounts of Vitamin D if exposed briefly to sunlight, Shiitakes contain Lentinan, which human clinical studies have shown has anti-cancer effects.

Norwis White Potato

Norwis is The Potato Chip potato. Yet they do double duty mashed, steamed or fried in other shapes as well.

Storage: Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place, not the refrigerator. If they are organic, they have not been treated with any sprout retardants.

Preparation: Boil in skins, cool, and use in salads or glaze them in butter with a sprinkling of chopped parsley. Also excellent quartered and roasted with skins on with olive oil, garlic, a dash of salt, and herbs, such as rosemary.
