The Illusion of Choice
Take a walk down a standard supermarket produce aisle, and you'll realize something surprising: your options are incredibly limited. Commercial grocery stores typically stock only a handful of lettuce and herb varieties. Why? Because massive industrial farms only grow crops that are tough enough to survive a 2,000-mile journey in a refrigerated truck.
They select for shelf-life and durability, not for flavor, texture, or culinary excitement.
At Tarragon Farms, our hyper-local, direct-to-consumer model allows us to completely ignore shipping logistics. We don't have to compromise. We dedicate our precision climate-controlled environments to growing fragile, hard-to-find, and profoundly flavorful varieties that traditional supply chains simply cannot handle.
Ethnic & Heritage Herbs
Freshness is critical for delicate herbs, which often wilt and lose their volatile aromatic oils during transport.
Instead of limp, imported options, we provide crisp, intensely aromatic varieties right to your door. From Persian Purple Basil and Dutch Broadleaf Cress to fresh Persian Leek and Purslane, we grow the foundational flavors of global cuisines year-round, giving you restaurant-quality ingredients for your home kitchen.
Microgreens & Shoots
Harvested at their absolute nutritional peak, microgreens can pack up to 40 times the vital nutrients of their mature counterparts.
Because they are so delicate, they are notoriously difficult to transport and rarely found fresh in stores. We cultivate various types of Radish (e.g. Cherry Belle, Scarlet Globe), Purple Vienna Kohlrabi, various mustards (Mizuna, Yellow, Brown), Arugula, and Turnip. They add a vibrant crunch, beautiful color, and an explosive flavor profile to any dish.
Specialty Baby Greens
Forget the standard, watery iceberg or tough, bitter mature kale. We focus on cultivating greens at their most tender stage of life.
Enjoy the vibrant, colorful stems of Baby Swiss Chard, the lemony zing of Red-Veined Sorrel, and the delicate bite of Wild Arugula and Mizuna. By harvesting at the exact right hour, these greens redefine the standard salad experience.
