Varieties
Varieties we grow and love:

- Red Ball – a red Brussel
Storage
As always, fresh produce is most delicious and nutritious when consumed as close to the harvest date as possible.
When first harvested, we sell Brussels attached to their stalk. Later on we strip the sprouts from the stalk and sell loose. Brussels will keep a good long time if kept cold enough, and not crowded, and not too compacted. the still need to breathe a little.
Having said all that, Brussel Sprouts steamed just right close to harvest are sweet, faintly cabbagy- broccoli.
