GREENS :: 2018 STATS

50 heads of lettuce, 38 spinach bunches, 16 kale bunches, and 4 cabbage heads, left our hands and were given to food pantries to distribute to the vulnerable and in need.

We harvested more lettuce than we planted. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ About 80 pounds worth! EIGHTY! 🙌🏻

Why do we grow these greens?
ROMAINE: Although romaine lettuce is low in fiber, it's high in minerals, such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. It's naturally low in sodium. Plus, romaine lettuce is packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.

BUTTERCRUNCH: The thick sweet leaves of buttercrunch lettuce add a good dose of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate to the diet.

SPINACH: Spinach is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants which may benefit eye health, reduce oxidative stress, help prevent cancer and reduce blood pressure levels. It includes vitamins A, C, K1, folic acid, iron, and calcium. Spinach also contains several other vitamins and minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B6, B9 and E.

KALE: Kale, everyone’s favorite, is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, packing in large doses of vitamins A, C, K, B6, manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium. Kale is also very high in antioxidants.

CABBAGE: Cabbage contains K, C, folate, manganese, B6, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. In addition, cabbage is high in fiber and contains powerful antioxidants, including polyphenols and sulfur compounds.

Greens are full of fiber and all the things that keep bodies going.
