Last fall we had the great pleasure of introducing Sandra’s greens to our retail store. Sandra grows mixed greens in her greenhouse in Clayton.
Sandra attended McGill’s Macdonald College, acquiring an M.Sc.in organic agriculture and winning the Mary Perlmutter Scholarship Award.
Sandra’s greens are available at the Red Apron, and a selection of local restaurants during the “shoulder-season” (fall and spring). Her recipe for spectacular greens involves a special formula hand-mixed soil, raised beds, gentle soaker irrigation and loving expertise. During December, January & February, the light levels are too low for the greens to thrive so we have been missing her weekly visits.
We are thrilled that the longer spring days are back, bringing Sandra’s wonderful greens with them. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy them through to the early summer.
Stop by our retail store and give them a try!
