Jeff’s greens are heavenly!
If you’re like me, you’re lazy. Okay, to put it a bit more gently, if you’re like me, you love convenience.
So the idea of pre-washed salad greens in a bag is a winner: convenience leading to healthier eating habits and all that.
The problem is, the ideal and the reality don’t have much in common. In terms of flavor, most store-bought greens are on the same level as industrial strawberries from California: they look good, but are better left as uneaten garnishes. Also, apart from actual flavor, there are little blobs of already-rotten green goo mixed in with the ‘fresh'(er) pieces. Picking out/washing off such slime undermines the convenience (and the overall appeal).
SO–I was kind of in heaven when I looked into the bag Jeff left of greens grown in the new set-up (hoop house?) that he’s been using.
NO DIRT
NO BUGS
NO MYSTERY-GREEN-GOO-BLOBS
I didn’t even bother washing them.
–it was as simple as ‘open the bag, put in bowl, and eat’.
Something that cool, there’s got to be a catch, right?
But I don’t think there is.
So thanks Jeff. Thanks very much. But also–watch out. I think the world is about to beat a path to your doorstep.

Am I missing something? I am supposed to be able to understand this website, but I can not figure out who wrote this!? Well, thanks for the compliment regardless. I agree, the greens are tasty. Nature can take much more of the credit than I. Nature and Johnny’s Seeds. I just try to stay out of the way.
But, FYI, the greens are available by subscription or in the self-serve box while they last.
