BITE: Bryson Farms Greens
Mesclun, field greens, spring mix, oriental greens - whatever you call them, a wide variety of newly popular greens is on offer in today's produce sections. But if you're like me, you may have noticed that these lettuces taste more like the cellophane bag or the one slimy black rotten leaf you usually find at the bottom of the bag. Enter Bryson Farms (www.brysonfarms.com), the Shawville, Quebec guru of greens that delivers right to your door. The comapny's organic salad greens range from sweet and lemony to mustardy and spicy. And because you're digging into nature's box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get: mache, endive, frisee, kale, arugula, cress, sorrel, beet tops, chards. Bryson Farms grows over one hundred varieties throughout the year in their fields and greenhouses. Every mix is unique depending on what was harvested the day before they ship. Best of all, each leaf is picked, washed, dried and inspected by hand so you never have to worry about finding a slimy one. -- Shawna Wagman
