September 2013 What’s New on the Farm The Latest and Greatest From Fresh Origins Who Make the Best Microgreens in the World! And Now They Have a Monet You Can EAT!

Every month we get look forward to seeing what our favorite farmers are up to because every month they invent something new!  We love how they always want to be better even when they are already the best.  Here's the latest and greatest for September.  It just so happens that they come in two of our most favorite colors: pink and green!  If you have any appreciation for art, you're going to love the first number:
Herb Flowers
Sage Blossom Monet Pink
Bright pink trumpet shaped flowers with a pleasant mild sweetness and a very slight bitterness.  
Our original plants were brought over from the estate gardens of Impressionist painter Claude Monet in Giverny, France. Dress up desserts, such as souffles, fruit tarts & crème caramel. Lovely topper for sorbets. Float in a cocktail for an appealing finishing touch.
Cheese Leaf
Large leaves; deep green on the front side, maroon & green on the back side. Very strong cheese aroma & flavor, described bysome as reminiscent of blue cheese or Livarot (French cheese.) This leaf is like nothing you've tried before! Pungent, earthy & nutty. Brought to us by Botanical Explorer, Joe Simcox. Vegan alternative to cheese. Can be added to soups, omelets, & stews. Decorate a cheese & fruit plate. Use as a bed for filet mignon.
