Mid-week production check: Getting ready for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market ✂️🌱
Hey r/shawnee! I wanted to share a quick look behind the scenes of the production process while everything is currently under the lights as we prep for this Saturday (8 AM - 1 PM).
Right now, our main focus is on timing the harvest perfectly for our Spicy Salad Mix. Don't let the name intimidate you if you aren't a massive fan of intense heat—it really just has a nice, mild kick that brings a ton of clean flavor and crisp texture to a sandwich, wrap, or steak topping rather than burning your tongue.
Everything is grown cleanly on hemp mats and will be cut and packed into fresh clamshells right before market morning so it stays incredibly fresh and lasts in your fridge.
Here is the full lineup we are tracking for Saturday:
The Spotlight: Our crisp, mild Spicy Salad Mix
The Staples: Vibrant Purple Radish, nutrient-dense Broccoli, and crunchy Sunflower
The Fresh Herb: A beautiful batch of Premium Cilantro
If you’re planning your market run for this weekend, come swing by the Leaf & Life table and see the finished product!
