Little known fact that running an urban farm acquaints you with: that beautiful broccoli head you see isn’t just one thing—it’s actually a cluster of tiny flower buds! Each “floret” is an unopened flower, ready to bloom if left on the plant. The tight, green clusters you recognize are the plant’s effort to create seeds, and when they start to flower, you’ll see gorgeous white blossoms.

So whether it’s our classic broccoli or the delicate flowering kind, you’re actually eating the plant at a very special stage of growth…and we’ll have both this weekend, so come by the market and see it for yourself!

The delicate white and yellow flowers are totally edible—and they taste amazing! Add them to your salads, stir-fries, or simply enjoy them as a snack.

Swing by early to grab yours before they’re gone—we can’t wait to see you there! AND PLEASE NOTE! Tomball Farmers Market is closed for German Fest, so we’ll see you all next week!

would like to take moment to shout out these three lovely individuals, who have been helping out so much at the farm this fall: Van, Hussein, and Hamida. They were introduced to us by the inspiring folks at , (specifically the dynamic , who is PIF’s Farmer Education Manager) and are working with us for a six month internship program.

They all hail from Burma (Myanmar) and, though we are meant to be the instructors in this whole arrangement, have taught us a great deal about the world and brightened up the farm for the last number of weeks. We’d like to give our thanks to for running a fantastic organization…please give them whatever support you can, as that support results directly in folks like Van, Hussein, and Hamida being able to spend time exchanging experiences with us .

This will be the last weekend before Thanksgiving, so come on out to any of the following farmers markets this weekend and stock up for the annual fall festival of turkey and starch (and VEGETABLES)!

Whaaaat?

Is that lettuce actually growing in a hydroponic greenhouse quite literally built to grow hydroponic lettuce? Why yes. Yes indeed it is.

While we must manage your expectations and say WE WILL NOT HAVE LETTUCE TOMORROW…we can quite happily say that we will have lettuce NEXT WEEK, and will be returning to a few more farmers markets with the leafy greens that you guys have all come to expect from us, and to love.

Small amounts of these babies are, however, going out this weekend, specifically for our lovely FarmBox customers, who are getting the first of the season taste because, well, we love our FarmBox customers!

What is a FarmBox, you ask? We’re glad you did!

A FarmBox is a box of the best local, organic produce delivered to your door! With three different sizes to choose from, fresh artisanal mushrooms, culinary herbs, microgreens, and an ever-evolving cast of vegetables depending on the season, a FarmBox is the best way to get more veggies into your diet, to challenge yourself to try new things, and to get the first lettuces that has had for sale since the infernal summer began and Beryl and her sidekick the Derecho came to town and…and…and….

So check out https://verdegreens.com/collections/farmbox-and-add-ons for our FarmBox selection, and get your hands on some of these gorgeous lettuces a little bit earlier! Otherwise, we’ll see you next week.

For tomorrow, we’ll be at the following farmers markets, sadly, with NO LETTUCE. But come anyway because you love us!

After a week like we’ve had, it might be that this little frog has the right idea. Amphibianism may be the way forward for us all.

has spent the week slopping around in the mud and painstakingly re-skinning a number of our greenhouses after the damage caused by Beryl. It’s been a slog, and there is plenty more to do, but we’ll be at the following markets this weekend, so come on out and see us…
