It takes around a month to grow before going into the soil. It then takes a further four to six weeks until the salad is ready to harvest.
We have over five different varieties of salad growing on our farm this season. Each with its own unique flavours and texture. Some of our favourites include; red and green Oak leaf, Little Gem lettuce, Mizuna and Rocket. As well as our popular mixed salad!
Harvested when needed, washed, bagged, and ready to go straight into our Farm Shop.
Absolutely Zero food miles!!
Whether you pair it with something from our Butchers, Fishmongers, or Deli, our salad is the perfect fresh addition to any meal.
Why not mix some herbs or drizzle over our new Bread Dipper flavoured oils?
