As we move from mid-summer’s peak into the rich abundance of early fall, The Greensted’s shelves are transforming with the season’s bounty. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic are at their peak – making this the perfect time to start your fire cider for winter wellness!
What’s Coming: Fall Preview
The horizon brings exciting seasonal changes with fall squash varieties, sweet melons, crisp apples, and hearty potatoes all arriving soon. We’re sourcing from various local farms to bring you the freshest seasonal produce as it becomes available.
An Important Update: Microgreens Chapter Closes
After 8 years of growing microgreens for wholesale distribution to grocery stores, we’ve made the difficult decision to close this part of our business. The costs of production, packaging, and distribution have exceeded returns, and we’ve never increased pricing during our 8-year run. Understanding that every penny matters to budget-conscious consumers, we’ve decided to take a break from growing altogether while we evaluate what the future may hold.
