The art of Plate Presentation is essential to the success of a dish as its taste and flavor. The appearance of how food is plated is truly an art and can strongly influence our desire to want to taste it. It can be the deciding factor for your guest to try your cuisine or not. So how do you create this experience for your guest? The answer is quite simple, by creating a fusion of colors, textures and interesting visual elements on a plate.
Specialty produce such as MicroGreens, Greens, and related Specialty Items offer a delicate, gorgeous appearance and vibrant colors, which will add visual appeal and flavor to any plate. With hundreds of varieties on our farm, we offer some of the most unique specialty produce available, many of which cannot be found at other farms.
