Hargrove Farms has been in my family for over 200 years, and it is a place that I’ve always felt a strong connection to. Growing up in Wilmington, NC, I took drives up to Tarboro from time to time, and my intrigue for the land and farming lifestyle deepened with each trip. I would muse over the stories from my grandmother, father, and uncles about their time growing up on the farm. My intrigue developed direction around a decade ago, when what had started as a small scale experiment with growing mushrooms became a dream to plant a truffle orchard on our family farm. I wanted to build something with my own hands that would eventually give back to the small, rural town where my father was raised. I met Casey in 2014, both making our way in her hometown of New York City, and we were both striving for something more. After hearing me talk endlessly about this farm dream for years, she encouraged me to quit talking about it, sit down, and develop a plan. The exact day we had that conversation was the day I started writing the Hargrove Farms business plan. From that moment on, my vision, direction, and passion finally had the steam behind it and the grit to push through to make this dream, our dream, a reality. We can’t wait to share it with you. - Alex https://www.hargrovefarms.com/get-in-touch daily 0.75 2021-04-23 https://www.hargrovefarms.com/join daily 0.75 2021-03-24 https://www.hargrovefarms.com/microgreens daily 0.75 2021-04-23 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/6082ebfcfc12135a157774a4/1619192848273/Amaranth.jpg Microgreens - Amaranth (Red Garnet) Flavor Profile - Robust, sweet, earthy The Good Stuff - Vitamins K, E, and C, calcium, iron https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a3cbb9d45ab500f3cb8c1/1618631285540/Arugula.jpg Microgreens - Arugula Flavor Profile - Strong peppery flavor, slightly buttery, cabbage-like notes The Good Stuff - Vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, phosphorus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a3ce7e01ee434d19aa8a4/1619193182197/Screen%252BShot%252B2021-04-15%252Bat%252B10.31.25%252BPM.jpg Microgreens - Leek Flavor Profile - Mild onion The Good Stuff - Vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, phosphorus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a3db7e6dd974e966b1ca3/1619193187050/Peas.jpg Microgreens - Peas Flavor Profile - Sweet, mild pea flavor The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, B, C, and E, protein, fiber, omega-3 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a3c1dc6223e23c5bcef43/1619193164057/Dill.jpg Microgreens - Dill Flavor Profile - Mild dill The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, carotene, chlorophyll, amino acids https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/6082ec837ddb552035493abb/1619193054025/Beets.jpg Microgreens - Beet Flavor Profile - Earthy, sweet The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, B,C,E, and K, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, protein https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/608307881277d53689f4ee82/1619199901654/Wasabi.jpg Microgreens - Wasabi Flavor Profile - Strong mustard flavor, spice The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, C, E, and K, antioxidants, fiber https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a59dbfefb461591132aa3/1619193151796/cinnamon%2Bbasil.jpg Microgreens - Basil (Cinnamon) Flavor Profile - Sweet basil, mild cinnamon spice notes The Good Stuff - Vitamins C, E, and K, calcium, iron https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a588a504b3e76b93fc2b5/1619193157844/carrot.jpg Microgreens - Carrot Flavor Profile - Mild carrot flavor The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, B-complex, D, and E, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a5b2f93a6f814e3645b4f/1619193077011/Red%2BRubin%2BBasil.jpg Microgreens - Basil (Red Rubin) Flavor Profile - Basil, nutty, crunchy The Good Stuff - Vitamins A, B complex, D, and E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a5715e24f453c1b5b5d31/1619193170716/Fennel.jpg Microgreens - Fennel Flavor Profile - Mild anise flavor, sweet; lemon and black licorice scent The Good Stuff - Vitamins C, E, and K, antioxidants, potassium, fiber https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a3e29f0c3115eec3953ed/1619193176677/kohlrabi.jpg Microgreens - Kohlrabi (Purple Vienna) Flavor Profile - Distinct broccoli/cabbage flavor The Good Stuff - Antioxidants, fiber, vitamins A,C, and B-complex, calcium, potassium https://www.hargrovefarms.com/mushrooms daily 0.75 2021-04-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/6077b4ae4dbbf35eac52a405/1618457780456/IMG_2885.jpg Mushrooms - Chestnut Mushrooms Chestnut mushrooms, also known as Agaricus bisporus, have a woodsy, earthy flavor profile, and also serve as a great unique substitute for button mushrooms. Chestnut mushrooms definitely bring a nuttier flavor to your dish - a clever nod to their name - which tastes fantastic in many Asian-inspired dishes. The Chestnut mushroom caps are very similar to a button mushrooms in texture, while their stalks are very fibrous, making them great for stocks, though less enjoyable for consuming as is. Fun fact about Chestnut mushrooms, is you can even eat these mushrooms raw - the caps are a great snack! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/605c8f09566b723937a41ca2/1618535604291/IMG_2850.JPG Mushrooms - Oyster Mushrooms Oyster mushrooms, also known as Pleurotus ostreatus, are hearty mushrooms with a balanced, mild flavor. There is quite a bit of variety in the oyster mushroom world - each strain taking on their own, slightly unique flavor profile and texture. Oyster mushrooms are a nutrient-dense food that are easy to cook with, making them the perfect addition to almost any dish or recipe! Here at Hargrove Farms, we grow Pink Oyster (Pleurotus djamor), Golden Oyster (Pleurotus citrinopileatus), and Black Pearl Oyster (a Pleurotus ostreatus hybrid strain). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c4a2e931aef1deebef3ca00/t/607a2ec9300cc60f862d8948/1618620109957/lions%252Bmane.jpg Mushrooms - Lion’s Mane Mushrooms Lion’s Mane mushrooms, also known as Hericium erinaceus, are an intriguing, mysterious variety of mushroom with countless different names floating around out there, including “pom pom mushroom.” Lion’s Mane has a curious texture and look to them - in fact, the texture closely resembles crabmeat when pulled apart (hint: this technique can be used in a plethora of creative recipes). These mushrooms are delicate in consistency and extremely rich in flavor; they can definitely stand on their own, or can act as a rich side dish. Lion’s Mane are one of the most fun to play around with in the kitchen and are packed with nutrients.
