Recent Crop Collaborations
LIME BASIL
Lime basil, a specific and less common varietal of the common herb, has small leaves, grows slowly, and has a distinctly citrusy scent, like the aroma emitted when zesting a lime, combined with notes of camphor, clove, and mint.
Grown in collaboration with Lon Bounsanga of SAAP in Cary.
ULTRACROSS OKRA
This cultivar, from the Utopian Seed Project, is the result of seed from plants that had been cross-pollinated from more than 80 different types of okra, and then selected for specific traits related to climate resiliency in the Southeast, North Carolina specifically.
Grown in collaboration with Adé Carrena of Dounou Cuisine in Raleigh.
AGRETTI
Agretti is an annual shrub that is most popularly known, foraged, and cultivated in Italy (specifically central Italy). It features needle-like leaves (almost like rosemary, but longer) that have a crunchy, vegetal, and slightly briny flavor. Part of the amaranth family, it’s loosely related to spinach and beets, but more closely associated with sea beans in flavor.
Grown in collaboration with Matt Kelly of Nanas Restaurant in Durham.
