The number was to innovate their website and, every bit the advert implies, assistance us acquire to know a farmer, as well as that's what nosotros did.

Brian Antle, the farm’s Harvest Manager, ran the tour, as well as it was a joy to listen him utter amongst such pride nearly what his as well as the Tanimura identify unit of measurement had created from this land.
After the tour nosotros were treated to a wonderful dejeuner showing off or as well as thence of the farm’s famous foliage. The grilled romaine salad you’ll encounter inwards the video was a large hit, but nosotros besides had or as well as thence beautiful pizzas, every bit you lot tin encounter below. It ever feels special to consume hit that was but picked hours before.
You’ll besides encounter a curt video I did showing how the lettuce goes from dirt to finally packaging on this slow-rolling mobile processing plant. You’ll get got to pardon the muddied lens, every bit I hadn’t planned on filming inwards the field, as well as never checked it.
