What can I grow for you?
Ah remember pre-COVID when you could see people smile and microgreen samples were available? Well protocols have changed but the greens remain the same. Now serving robust flavored greens with microgreens and whatever else happens to be growing at the farm packaged in Stay Fresh clear bags. I'll be at Springdell every Saturday from 9-2 doling out the greens. Self serve available every day at Springdell Farm 571 Great Road Littleton MA.
