FARM-TO-YOU
BRINGING THE FARM HOME
Calling all aspiring urban farmers - Tom King Farms has your number. Find them at the Little Italy Mercato with their new lettuce box subscriptions and pick your own lettuce options.
Here's how the subscription works; you buy your initial box, either 3 or 4 feet in length, filled with soil and baby heads of greens. Each box is planted with variety in mind to keep your salad bowls ever changing. You take it home and the baby lettuces are yours to raise and harvest as you see fit. Then when it's all gone you return your box and exchange it for a new one, at a much reduced cost, to start anew. It's gardening made easy!
Or perhaps you'd rather harvest your own lettuces at the market? Tom King has you covered there as well. Simply select and pick your living lettuces right out of the planters to create your own custom salad mix. Whether you choose to pick at home or at the market, these greens are about as fresh as you can get!

How much are the boxes? Both the first box and subsequent boxes.
They've been going for $45 and $35 for the initial box, I think the refills are $25 and $15. But Dennis tells us he's working on half size boxes, so there may be some less expensive options soon too.
