Farm Focus: Mizuna
We have completely fallen in love with Mizuna, a delicious and nutritional powerhouse.
Tender frond-like leaves, it is peppery like arugula, milder than endive or frisée, and it adds delicious depth to green salads, especially those that include slices of fresh apple or pear. Their flavorful leaves are delicious topped on a pizza, stacked on a grass-fed burger, or tucked into a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s terrific in a stir fry or sautéed with garlic, ginger and mushrooms.
Mizuna is one of those vegetables that a lot of people haven’t tried but it’s easy to use and a great addition to any meal. Mizuna is a mild tasting Asian green that ...

Farm to Fork: Yard Long Beans
Beans in summer in Southwest Florida? These aren't your typical green beans, which need cooler temperatures for success.
Instead, they are purple yard long beans, specifically, the Thai Purple Podded Yard Long Bean. Vigorous, and thanks to Thailand, very heat tolerant, these beans come from the gardens at Rosy Tomorrows Heritage Farm. The pods can grow up to 20 inches long and are a gorgeous deep purple color with pale green tips.
Unlike regular green beans, which can become limp and soft when exposed to high heat, yard long beans are perfect for stir-fries, able to withstand high heat and still retain their crispness. The flavor is mild, like a ...
Farm Focus: Okinawa Spinach
We are very excited to introduce one of our organically grown perennial salad greens this week! It will be served alongside kale, topped with feta and house-made dill vinaigrette in the featured salad at The Barn at Rosy Tomorrows Heritage Farm; available for lunch or take home.
This vegetable was discovered in Asia, but when it reached Hawaii, it's popularity grew. Okinawa Spinach is gorgeous. Dark green leaves on the tops and the undersides are a beautiful purple. It has an unique sweet, herby tea-like flavor adding a beautiful aesthetic element to cuisine. The stems and the leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, it is full of vitamins, and is said ...
Farm Focus: Eggplant
Our special varieties: from left to right.
Orient Charm - a slender and sweet variety reaching up to 8" long.
Barbarella - round and groovy, with a creamy middle, perfect for stuffing
Fairytale - the smallest and sweetest of our varieties, growing 2" long, it’s delicious roasted whole and has very few seeds.
Our eggplants are not bitter and do not need much to bring out all their wonderful delicate flavors. Cultivated in Asia as the "aubergine", the eggplant has been enjoyed for centuries. It is related to the tomato and the potato in the nightshade family, and is technically a fruit. Bursting with a variety of important vitamins and ...

Farm Focus: Husk Cherry
In shape, it is closely related to the tomatillo. The husk cherry has a thin lantern-like paper called a calyx protecting it's fruit. The flavor, unlike the tomatillo, has a dark honey color and a pineapple grape sweetness when fully ripe. They can be eaten raw, and if the fruit remains in the husk, it can store at room temperature for up to 30 days.
Native to Peru, Columbia, and Ecuador, the husk cherry has countless nick names, making it harder to retrace it's journey. Today, it is commercially cultivated in South Africa, where it is canned and exported.
Aside from being a healthy alternative to what's in the candy dish, husk cherries are ...
