Farm Products: What We Grow
Sunnyside uses organic practices to grow great-tasting, healthy, high-quality food in an ecologically resilient and biologically diverse landscape.
Fruit
We grow multiple varieties of apples and Asian pears in our orchard along with pawpaws (a fruit native to the woodlands of the eastern United States), figs and persimmons.
Vegetables & Herbs
We grow a wide range of vegetables in our production fields and passively heated high tunnels. They include leafy greens like lettuce and kale; alliums like garlic and onions; summer staples like tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers; root crops like carrots, turnips, and radishes; greenhouse specialties like turmeric and ginger; herbs like cilantro, dill and mint; and late season favorites like winter squash and sweet potatoes.
Honey
Honeybees define the taste of a place. Being efficient foragers, bees harvest from the closest food available. This floral community determines a honey’s character, and our bees live amongst native wildflowers, shrubs and trees as well as organic fruits, vegetables and cover crops. Our honey is raw and unfiltered. Raw meaning it is not heated. Unfiltered meaning it is not pumped through a micro-filter. As a result, it retains beneficial pollen, bits of comb and propolis, all of which give it a complex and delectable flavor.
Mushrooms
We currently have a small number of pearl oyster and shitake mushroom logs in production and hope to add additional mushroom varieties in the future.
Native Plants
We grow a small selection of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses that are available for sale throughout the year and are also used in plantings around the farm.
