Farm Focus: Mexican Mint Marigold
Mexican Mint Marigold, also known as Spanish tarragon, is one of the tasty herbs grown here at Rosy Tomorrows Heritage Farm.
We love the hints of liquorish and anise this plant produces. The vibrant flowers are edible, and the leaves used as a flavor-filled alternative for tarragon.
This delicious delight was found in the mountains of Mexico and Guatemala, and has been documented in Mexico for allegedly being used by the Aztecs in ceremonies involving Tlaloc, their rain god.
We love that this plant is a perennial in south Florida, which means it grows year-round!

Farm Focus: Mei Qing Choi and Pak Choi
First cultivated in China, these tasty greens quickly spread throughout Asia and on to the rest of the world because of their antioxidant properties. Mei Qing and Pak Choi are both easily a favorite for the stir fry fans, but there is beauty in the difference between flavors of the two and why we grow both for you to try.
Pak Choi
Pak Choi (commonly pronounced pock choy), has a sweet, warm, and succulent flavor. The stalks have purple strips, which add a nice dimension to any dish. It pairs perfectly with ginger.

Farm Focus: Ham Steak
Instead of a large ham roast, ham steaks give you all the same flavor without the volume - making them perfect for small families.
Fresh hams (like the ones we sell) get their name from the hind leg of the animal and are not cured. But you can create an even better sweet and savory ham at home by curing it yourself - and without all the nitrates.
It's easy to get put off by long lists of instructions, but don't worry - each stage is simple and requires minimal intervention. At the brining stage, your ham is resting in a salty/sugary mixture to pack in extra flavor. You ...
Farm Focus: Nasturtium
The Power of Flowers
They’re not just pretty - edible flowers pack a nutritional punch that’ll liven up up your sandwiches and salads and more. Nasturtium flowers have a mild peppery flavor with a slightly mustard-like aroma. Add the flowers to salads, after the vinaigrette, so as to preserve their beautiful color and shape. Treat the flavorful leaves like arugula and put them in salads, chop them into egg salad, and top them on pizza. Nasturtiums are extremely nutritious and contain vitamin C and iron. Here on the farm, we use the larger, more mature leaves as as a ...
Farm Focus: Minuet Cabbage
Minuet Cabbage (also commonly called Chinese Cabbage or Napa Cabbage) has thick crisp stems and frilly yellow-green leaves. The flavor is often sweeter and softer than common cabbage. Seasoned and fermented, it tastes great as kimchi and Minuet cabbage shines as a base for raw salads and stir-fries. Its outer leaves are great for wrapping homemade spring rolls but the tender inner leaves are what really makes this vegetable an extremely versatile superstar.
Minuet cabbage is extremely low in calories but packed with many antioxidant plant compounds such as carotenes, ...
