Spray Free Beefsteak Tomato from Greenland Garden
One of the largest varieties of tomato! These are sweet and meaty.Arguable the ultimate BLT tomato, they're also great for slicing up into a "flattened" caprese! Honestly, these tomatoes are my favourite.

Spray Free Spring Yellow Onion from Wild Earth
While these resemble scallions, they are indeed storage onions picked at an earlier stage. “Spring" bulbs need refrigeration to stay fresh
and vibrant. Try them differently this time, what about a Tuna melt with Spring Onions confit?

Spray Free Jalapeno from Wild Earth
A staple as far as hot peppers go, but not toooo high on the heat scale! Jalapenos can be stuffed, roasted and blended into a delicious salsa with green tomatoes, pickled, preserved and fermented to be enjoyed for weeks to come!

Spay Free Zucchini from Jonothan Farms
Zucchini is also known as summer squash and it has a very mild taste that is slightly sweet, grassy, or green. Because of zucchini's mild flavour, it can be prepared in numerous ways, and it shows up in a wide variety of recipes.
Try this delicious ZAPPLE CRISP!
Spray Free Head Lettuce from Jonothan Farms
Sweet and tender! This leafy lettuce adds a crisp freshness to salads or sandwiches without too much water content!
Spray Free Orange Carrots - Bunched from Jonothan Farms
Sweet, tender and fresh -- did you know the greens are an excellent source of nutrition and EASY to turn into a delicious dish all on their own? Check out Carrot Greens: 3 ways, on the recipe blog for your own inspiration! OR use the carrot tops to make a Chimichurri

Spray Free Red Cabbage from Jonothan Farms
A red cabbage is milder and sweeter, this one is summer cabbage, hence softer and more pliable than a storage cabbage. Even though they are the same vegetable, these are meant to be eaten fresh.

Spray Free Salad Cucumbers from John Abrams
Great for pickling, or as the name suggests, thrown into a salad. Cucumbers are the perfect vegetable for beating the heat (and we've got lots of that coming!). I welcome you to try making an Israeli Salad with this juicy and crisp cucumbers.

Organic Tomato Party Pack from Blue Lagoon
Surprise! It is a Mix of Heirloom tomatoes. These tomatoes are simply delicious. The trick with Heirloom tomatoes is to let them ripen and soften. If they are not soft yet, they will keep up to a week. We have some fresh basil in the store, a sweet balsamic glaze to die for, and some bocconcini cheese ready for a lovely afternoon snack!

Organic Mint Bunch from Blue Lagoon
The well known mint will add sweet herbal flavour to your dishes and drinks. Maybe adding it up to a freshly squeezed homemade lemonade would help with the nice summer heat from these last couple days, if not, you could try grabbing a texas watermelon from the store to make a watermelon salad

Spray Free Beans from Jonothan Farms from
The key for the best beans is to master how long to boil green beans. Cook the green beans, covered, in a small amount of boiling salted water until crisp-tender: 10 to 15 minutes for whole or cut green beans. 5 to 10 minutes for french-cut green beans. Butter them up!

We tried this salad and we loved it BUT skip the dressing and give our pink vinaigrette a try.
