01/28/2020

Guess what?

We are growing, too.🌱

Our farm has become so much more than we initially imagined with the support of you, our community.

In Spring 2020, come join us in our next chapter… Same wonderful greens...NEW NAME!

We are still growing while we “grow” but we’ll be quiet on social media for a little bit.

You can still find us at our many retail partners. 🛒

Did you eat any greens today? 🍴🌱

Let's talk about our greens for a minute... Did you know we water and fertilize from the bottom while using ZERO PESTICIDES which means leafy clean greens? I bet you can taste the difference... 😋🤤

How many of you know Will?

Will is one of the founding members of West Village Farms.

He has done about every role within the company; from hand seeding and hand cutting, to demoing and delivering. ✋🏽🌱

We are all so grateful for Will at the farm. 🙏🏾 👨🏾‍🌾

It's National Cut Your Energy Costs Day. ⚡

One easy way to do this is by consuming locally produced and sourced products. Reduce your "food miles" and reduce the energy and emission impacts associated with the transportation of goods. 🚚🚚

Have you heard of "food miles" before?

Can you name this plant??? 🤔🌱

Last summer we sent a survey out to our customers asking what they would like to see us grow, and SPINACH was the number one response. 💌

Today we're releasing our new Simple Spinach salad and we hope you love it! 💗

How do you feel about spinach??? 🌱😋

Look... 👀

Your lunch is being born. 🌱

It is our pleasure to introduce you to Heather! 👋

Heather resonates with the old adage, the early bird gets the worm. As one of the first people to the farm each morning, this supervisor is a production manager in training and assigns people to their area of work for the day. (Everyone knows how to do all of the different roles around the farm.)

Just like the delicious greens we grow, Heather has grown from tray dumping and sanitation, to a supervisor we admire. 🌱

Fun Fact.... Red Mustard is her favorite.🍃

12/18/2019

Love eating food grown locally? So do we. ❤🌱

All the ingredients you see here are from local farms and businesses. The greens are ours, the dressing is from River Wave Foods, the beets are Flat Tack Farm, and the Hakurei turnips are Quackenbush Farm.

Looks yummy, huh? 😋

12/17/2019

We got you all a present... a farm full of nutrient-dense baby greens and microgreens. 🌱🌱

Do you love it?! ❤

Look at all these pipes! 🚿💧

We use 95% less water than conventional outdoor agriculture. Our hydroponic system recirculates and fertilizes the water. 💦

What's your go to way of conserving water? 💧

12/10/2019

🙌🏾🙌🏾 It's International Human Rights Day. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

It's a day we honor our collective understanding of each other's inherent worth. ❤

It's because of that understanding that we employ people from many different backgrounds - from biologist to artists, engineers to chefs, farmers to fishermen, veterans to retail professionals, agronomists to job training interns - to grow healthy food for our community to eat. . 🌱🌱

Honor your humanity. Eat your greens. We'll grow them for you. 👩🏽‍🌾👨🏽‍🌾

12/05/2019

Today is World Soil Day! Good food starts with a good foundation: it's soil. 🧱🌱🌏🧱

Have you gotten your hands dirty in the soil and grown your own garden before???

Ps... Our Farm Lead Devin wants to be clear that potting mix isn't exactly soil... (🙄 agronomists 🙄)

12/03/2019

Good game Hawks. 🏈🎉🙌🏾

Now back to work. 👉🏽👉🏽 Eat your greens today. 🌱 Your body will thank you. 💚
