Details

Producer: San Giovanni's Farm

Location: Woodbine, Maryland

The Barrow family named their farm after their grandfather and gardener extraordinaire, Giovanni Marino. The farm is certified organic and even goes beyond USDA organic standards by adhering to the Real Organic Project’s standards. San Giovanni’s Farm primarily grows greens, microgreens, vegetables, flowers, and herbs, which they sell directly to customers in the DMV. Their use of the spent microgreen soil has become a big part of their fertility program for the field vegetables, helping to build healthy soil for generations to come.

Nutritional value: Microgreens are flavorful little powerhouses that contain up to 40 percent higher levels of nutrients (especially vitamins K, C and E, plus lutein and beta-carotene) than  their mature counterparts.
