Product Description
Corn salad
3,78 $
This vegetable thrives in the cold. Therefore, it should be sown early in the spring, or at the end of summer, in an compost enriched soil. Its leaves are allegedly as rich in beta-Carotene as carrots, and a good source of vitamins A and C, and of iron.
We produce 95% of our seeds on our farm. Unfortunately, cornsalad seeds are hard to produce in Quebec. These seeds were thus purchased from an organic seed saver in the United States.

Medicinal plant used since antiquity. Feverfew is known for helping to prevent migraines, and to reduce their intensity and frequency. The leaves and flowers are usually used in infusions. Feverfew consumption is not recommended for pregnant women. Not to be confused with the German chamomille Matricaria recutita or Roman chamomille Chamaemelum nobile, which have completely different properties.

This hardy perennial can decorate your garden as nicely as your salads, with its striking dark red veins. It is also great with sandwiches, omelettes, quiches, and most other egg-based dishes. Slightly more tangy than common sorrel, bloody dock is the first to show up in the spring.

Graceful with its dark red leaves, this lettuce is nonetheless fierce. It has a high resistance to bolting as well as to insects and other pests. The leaves are wavy and crunchy. The lettuce is often described as semi-romaine, as the head is a bit loose and ruffled. Great taste. Rare. A special thanks to Mr. Paquet for sharing it with us.

Beautiful golden-orange skin with yellow striped flesh. Doesn't bleed and will not stain your fingers. Delicious sweet taste, raw or cooked, as you like it. Keeps its colour when cooked. All parts are edible, the buttery green leaves and yellow stems are almost as good as the gold root.
Very easy to grow, only requires love.

Native to North America. The strawberry blite is one of those forgotten vegetables that are making a strong comeback to our gardens. It is grown both for its leaves that can be eaten raw in a salad or steamed, and for its red berries. Although, do not be mistaken: despite their appearance and the name, these berries taste more like beets than strawberries. The fruit should be eaten in moderate quantities as the seeds contains some toxic compounds. The fruits were also used by Native Americans to make a red dye.

Small head lettuce with red undertones. Baquieu lettuce combines hardiness with early harvest. It might be an ancient German variety then called 'Erstling' (meaning the first) due to how early it can be harvested. Mentions of this variety are found in horticultural documents of the end of the 17th Century.

Coy in the garden, salsify can be mistaken for grass when still young. But its hardiness and lack of pests makes it a wise choice for enthusiasts of curiosities. Not the highest-yielding plant but its taste, somewhere between hazelnut and parsnip, widely makes up for it. It's also a true sundial: as soon as the first lights of the sunrise appear, the flowers will open towards the sun, and will then follow it for the whole day, until it sets. It is from the same family as dandelions.
The roots are tender and do not have a hint of bitterness, as long as harvested before the flowering stem starts to grow. The leaves are also edible. When the flower buds start appearing, on the second year, it is possible to eat them just like with viper's grass.
Culinary uses:
-raw roots chopped for salads,
-cooked roots sliced (with white wine to avoid blackening),
-young leaves in a salad,
-cooked leaves as vegetables,
-raw flower buds in a salad, or cooked as vegetables.

The leaves of this large curly endive grow in a rosette, and have a white midrib.
Chicory is mainly grown for its young leaves, but can also be eaten once mature when its delightful taste gets a spark of bitterness. Crunchy charming leaves.
Can be blanched by covering each plant with an upside-down pot for 2 to 3 weeks. Just make sure to elevate those pots a bit from the ground to provide sufficient air circulation. Can help to reduce bitterness.
