A delectable bitter Italian vegetable. The leaves, stems and florets can be harvested over a period of weeks. Excellent fried or roasted. Think garlic and olive oil.

Growing notes
Rapini can be started in the early spring indoors and transplanted or seeded directly in the late summer (prefers the cool weather of spring and fall). Space plants 12” apart. If flea beetles are problematic in your area, use some floating row cover to protect your plants.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
You're one of a kind
We're a small farm and we want to deal fairly with everyone who buys from us. If your packets don't arrive, we'll send them again. If we made a mistake with your order, we'll replace it or refund it.
We'd also love to hear from you if you see something wicked cool in your garden or if you know of a variety in need of stewardship.
