5I came here for the first time today after visiting the Riverside Arts Market and Grassroots and it was such a pleasant surprise and find. The owners were so sweet and open to talking about what they had. I definitely plan to visit again someday!
Super helpful owners. The greens are always fresh and delicious! The way greens should be grown.
Pulled up to this unassuming home on a residential street expecting to see a farm like Old McDonalds. To my surprise we walked into farming for the future with plants growing without soil! The room was filled with 47 water towers, filtered water system, temperature and humidity controlled air, lighting system and most unexpectedly, music played specifically to help the plants grow and their enjoyment. The owners David (retired architect) and his wife JoAnn (nurse) started their farm after COVID. You can find videos of their farm on YouTube and David has even written an E-book. If you are in Jacksonville and interested in starting your own micro farm, this FREE tour is a must see!
Wow!!! I am completely blown away by this farm!!! I didn’t know what to expect before I went but I was definitely impressed. The facility is thoughtfully designed and also very visually appealing. You can smell the freshness when you walk in and everywhere was extremely clean! I’ve been eating the spring mix salad with micro greens for the past few days and these greens require no dressing. Everything is so flavorful and delicious!! This place is a must visit! Thank you David!!
David and Joann are so obviously passionate about what they do and it shows in their kindness, knowledge, and quality. Best arugula I've ever tasted and their cilantro was so fresh and packed with flavor! Unlike anything you could find in a grocery store. I will most definitely be a regular and continue to support amazing local places and people like them!
