| Assorted micro greens |
We are expanding our effort to supply our Reserve 22 Restaurant with produce grown at the golf course. Growing produce onsite means our chef has the freshest possible ingredients to create meals for our guests. Raising produce locally also reduces our carbon footprint since the need to ship produce supplied from traditional growers hundreds of miles away is eliminated.
This winter we began growing organic micro greens. Micro greens are the young seedlings of edible herbs and vegetables. They are harvested 10 to 14 days after germination and are only 1" to 2" tall. Micro greens have a stem, two cotyledon leaves and one or two sets of true leaves.

True leaves are emerging from the center of the stems. The pair of rounded leaves (coyledon leaves) are the first pair to sprout at germination.

 |
| These 'French Breakfast' Radish are ready to harvest 8 days after germination. |
Micro greens have intense flavors for their size. Studies have also confirmed they contain 4 to 40 times more nutritional value than the same plant in it's mature form.
 |
| Red Garnet Amaranth is perfect as a micro green garnish. It has a mild flavor with a fuschia stem and leaves. | | | | | |
 |
| 'Mizuna Red Streaks' Mustard adds a peppery mustard flavor to salads. |
We have also added 'Dark Opal' Basil and Arugula to our micro green offering. If you would like to check out our organic in-season produce and micro greens, come visit us at
