21–35 days to first harvest in suitable conditionsA familiar next step for salad lovers. Cooler conditions help keep its flavor gentle.
LOOKING AHEAD / SNOWFLAKE, ARIZONA
Small crops.
Fresh possibilities.
Our next-crop plan focuses on tender greens, shoots, and quick roots that fit everyday meals. Each starts with a growing trial before it becomes a subscription choice.
WHAT YEAR-ROUND TAKES
Protection is the beginning.
Reliable winter harvests need adequate warmth and light. Summer crops need ventilation, shade, and heat management. An unheated greenhouse alone does not guarantee a steady harvest through Snowflake’s winter.
The ranges below are planning estimates in suitable growing conditions. Variety, harvest stage, season, and the growing system change the timing.
02
BABY GREENS · PLANNED
Baby kale
Tender young leaves for salads and quick sautés.
25–40 days to first harvest in suitable conditionsHarvest at the baby-leaf stage; trial succession timing before opening subscriptions.
03

Baby tatsoi
Mild, spoon-shaped greens for salads, noodles, and a quick stir-fry.
21–35 days to first harvest in suitable conditionsA cool-season specialty to trial in small batches alongside familiar salad greens.

21–42 days to first harvest in suitable conditionsFast in favorable conditions; winter tunnel trials can take five to six weeks.
GROW WHAT PEOPLE WILL USE
Flavor first.
Variety with a purpose.
Arugula and microgreens already appear in Arizona produce catalogs. That is a useful market signal; local demand still needs testing. We’ll start with small batches and use customer preferences to guide what earns a regular place.
Warm-season fruiting crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers need more time, space, and winter energy. They are a later expansion.
Research behind the grow list
Read Penn State’s Growing Microgreens, Virginia Tech’s greenhouse production guide, Johnny’s Astro arugula notes, and winter tunnel radish trials. Crop ranges combine these sources with conservative trial allowances; they are not promises of farm output.
