Greenhouse Crops at Twin Springs Fruit Farm
Tomatoes - Cherry Tomatoes - Cucumbers - Arugula - Eggplant - Lettuce - Basil-Spring Mix-Watercress
Tomatoes:
Trust, a beefsteak variety with firm 6-10 oz. fruit, has very good flavor and keeps well. After some trial and error, we have settled on Trust as our primary variety.
Cherry Tomatoes:
Sungold– Golden cherry tomato with 1″ to 1 ½” fruit with a unique tropical flavor – very sweet
Dasher– Deep red cherry tomato – Great in salads.
Cucumbers:
Manar – Middle Eastern, Seedless cucumbers, thin skinned, "burpless" with superb Flavor
Arugula:
Freshly cut bunches of arugula have become a very popular seller. We will be re-seeding the beds right through the season, so there should be a steady supply for all markets.
Eggplant:
Limited quantities, and very popular. Arrive early at market before they disappear.
Lettuce:
Red Oak Leaf and Green Buttercrunch – Tender and delicious. Now available most of the year.
Basil:
Almost year-round, with the roots in place to keep it fresh, or even be planted – by the bunch.
Watercress:
Spicy leaves and stems, great in salad, sold as a living plant with roots in place and keeps very well.
Our fourth large greenhouse, completed in the Spring of 2014, allows us to grow more year-round crops. The new "carbon neutral" biomass heating plant, a very “green” heat source, will enable us to grow more items in the colder months. Let us know at market, or via e-mail, what you think about these items and how we might expand or improve our produce.
