Learning how to plan succession plantings is a core ability if you want to maximize revenue because it allows continuous harvesting. The crops in this course are ideal for succession planting. With this technique, you’ll never run out of those crops during the seasons.
Nothing beats the flavor and texture of fresh garden carrots and clients never get tired of them. In this lesson, you will learn the cultivars, itineraries and harvesting techniques we use to efficiently deliver delicious and crunchy carrots, week after week.
Beets are one of those vegetables known to all and many people love them. It’s a sure value crop that sells very well. In this lesson, you will learn the best technique to grow surprising varieties that will add diversity to your display.
Salad turnip is a fabulous vegetable that we grow from early spring until late in the season. It is a very crunchy, juicy and sweet root. Customers who discover it, adopt it and they can fetch a good price.
Summer radishes are a relatively easy crop that we particularly like for the speed of its growth. It’s also a nice colorful addition to our early spring offer when our customers are craving crisp freshness!
Producing quality mesclun, or ready-to-eat baby lettuce mix, is a sure way to stand out at farmer’s markets, gain restaurant clients or delight CSA members. In this lesson you’ll learn the best practices to produce salanova lettuce and how to direct sow baby greens that will add a nice touch to the mix.
Spinach is the perfect crop to extend the season because it can withstand heavy frosts. If well protected from the wind, spinach can withstand the cold and is a very profitable crop to grow in winter. During the summer, the plant bolts quickly, this is why we prefer to grow them during shoulder months when they are delicious and they can fetch a premium price.
Arugula has its fans and we always manage to have enthusiastic customers for these slightly bitter, tender and spicy leaves. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to grow arugula with efficiency to market it as a ready-to-eat baby green.
Little Gem Lettuce is a crisp and delicious mini romaine lettuce, excellent in Caesar salads or even grilled on the barbecue. This is why it is so popular at the market and with chefs. It grows fast and 800 heads can fit on a 100-ft bed! The course assures you a constant supply of this lucrative crop.
