In order to continually diversify our farm and expand our horizons, we plant an experimental crop every year. This means we plant less of it and see how it goes. Last year it was soybeans, this year it's leeks. A select few share members got some Bleu de Solaize French leeks earlier this season.
After last year, we were able to plant more soybeans this year, and we're hoping to be able to do the same with leeks next year. These heirloom leeks have blueish leaves that turn violet after cold spells. We'll also be experimenting with Brussels sprouts this year.
