Rebekka picking the first of the mei quing choi! Glorious!

Indy gold bush beans or onion bulbs - can't tell from here - can you?

Dennis works at the TRCA office building right beside us and was our first customer for mei quing choi! Great fellow - helping immigrant international engineers find environmental work around these parts.

Ash holds up the first French radish breakfasts to be harvested at FoodCycles. This definitely should be our FoodCycles history book cover!

The first micro-green harvest includes mei quing choi and those French breakfast radishes.

Lavender anyone? Chefs love this.

A loaf of multi-grain sandwich bread with either cornmeal, organic buckwheat, organic amaranth, Asian dragon fruit, millet and rice. It was well taken at today's breaking of bread though the quinoa in ghee beat it out.
