8. Wooden Shoe Gardens

One of local vendors is David Rosenberg from Wooden Shoe Hollow Farm in Winton Place. He grows a variety of micro-greens and brings them fresh all year around to the College Hill Summer and Winter market. He grows and sells organic Micro-greens. Micro-greens are seedlings of various vegetables and greens which are harvested after they form their first true leaves. Unlike “sprouts” which are grown in water, Micro-Greens are grown in soil and can be grown year around to bring fresh local greens throughout the winter. They are colorful and flavorful and can be added to tossed salads, garnish soups, used in sandwiches like lettuce or spinach or on top of hummus or cream cheese on crackers as a tasty fresh appetizer.
