We produce a variety of artisanal foods through our sustainable hydroponic farm.
Fresh Herbs
Everything tastes better with a healthy dose of herbs.
At East Farthing Gardens we grow numerous varieties of herbs, including mint, thyme, Mexican mint, summer savory, sage, lemon basil, sweet basil…. The list could go on. Mix these with greens like spinach, kale and lettuce varieties, or include edible flowers, and you’ve got a luxury mix.
Luxury Greens
Greens are greens. Unless they’re not.
Greens grown with end product in mind become spinach, colourful kale and lettuce mixes; mixes that are designed to add colour, flavour, scent and texture variations. Mixes that may end up including spinach, colourful lettuce varieties and mint, or greens mixes that have edible nasturtiums, bachelor’s buttons, violas or marigolds tucked into them. By designer, we mean that you, the customer, can input your creativity in the mix we create.
Edible Flowers
We are excited to be able to offer edible flowers as part of our growing tableau.
Our fresh edible flower selection will vary , depending on the season. In winter, flowers will include selections that grow well in a hydroponic system, such as nasturtiums, bachelor’s buttons, violas, pansies, calendula, etc. The summer season will include a much wider variety as we can incorporate soil based growing of Hollyhocks, roses, begonias, marigolds, asters, daylilies, etc. Edible flowers are a wonderful addition to drinks, pastries, spring rolls and garnishes.
Crystalized Edible Flowers
Crystallized, freeze dried flowers will be a fabulous option for those who are bakers, chocolatiers, mixologists, event planners, and those who are looking for wedding favours and corporate gifts.
Our crystallized flowers will include both sugar and monkfruit options for those who need to have a sugarfree option. There will also be an option to have them sprayed with a vegan confectioner’s glaze to increase shelf life.
