Add some cool, refreshing tingle to your dishes and drinks. Make a lemon-mint risotto; muddle into a julep or mojito; whip up a dressing for salads or herb paste for chicken. Make your mint last longer by chopping it up and freezing it with some water in an ice cube tray...the perfect addition to your lemonade or ice tea!

Christopher Washington, Jim Livengood and Tony Gibbons founded Radicle Farm to explore the depths of fresh, flavorful, and intriguing salad greens. Their journey has included years spent experimenting with countless seed varieties and growing methods in their New York and New Jersey greenhouses, conferring with New York City's top chefs, and partnering with like-minded, progressive farmers to find the very best leafy greens (and sometimes tomatoes and cucumbers). The result is nutrient dense leafy greens, microgreens, and edible flowers that are bursting with flavor, color and freshness. Radicle has chosen their growing facilities – 60,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse space in New Jersey and upstate New York – intentionally. They employ rural and urban farmers, maximize the growing potential of otherwise forgotten spaces, and provide fresh greens to customers in four major metropolitan regions within 300 miles of their greenhouses.
Cut ends of mint and place in a jar with an inch or two of water. Cover leaves loosely with plastic and store in the fridge for up to three weeks. You can also wrap the bunch in a damp paper towel and store in a plastic bag in the fridge for up to two weeks.
