Pickled Cauliflower Santa Cruz/Los Gatos/Capitola

Quince is an ancient fruit originating in the Caucasus and northern Persia, and related to apples and pears. It is high in vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as pectin, making it a great fruit for jams, marmalades, tarts and pies. Though it can be eaten raw, it is usually preferred cooked, either roasted in the oven or diced and cooked down with water or apple juice until becomes a puree or compote. $14 per five pound bag.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" includes Sage (8 g bag), Summer Savory (12 g bag) and Greek Laurel. The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.

These dried lavender wands are 12 inches long. At Mariquita Farm we do not use fungicides, pesticides or insecticides on our herbal, floral or vegetable crops. That's "NO" as in "none." All fertilizers are naturally derived from cover crops or from OMRI approved brands of organic fertilizers. $20 per set of two bundles of 60 stems each.
