These onions are mild in taste, due to the cool climate in which they are grown. Rhubarb does not attract pests, therefore no pesticides are used on the crop. Harvesting begins the latter part of April and continues thru early June. Although the stalks of rhubarb are edible, the leaves contain a toxin and should never be eaten. Sown in the fall, spinach begins actively growing as soon as the weather warms the soil.
Spinach grows rapidly, so it is one of the first crops to harvest here in Lancaster County.
And since it is still too cold for pests to be a problem, spinach can be grown without the use of pesticides. This site developed and maintained by Keagy's Produce. All Rights Reserved.
