MindyRiveraFarms: Season 3, this time it’s serious.

May 18, 2011 by ericriveracooks

Mindy planted our little mobile garden for her third season. This year she was a little more aggressive (b-e aggressive) with her planting and she’s even experimenting with alternative growing methods…..HYDROPONICS (Keanu Reeves says, “Woah”.) Here are a few photos showing the future bounty and friends of my cooking extravaganza. Sorrel Lemon Verbena Sage box in the front (business) and the oregano/marjoram box in the rear (party). Tabor thyme, that’s what thyme it is. Flat leaf parsley.  Oh, I can […]

MindyRiveraFarms: Season 3- 24/7

February 6, 2011 by ericriveracooks

It’s around 12:30AM right now. I just got home and the fun is not going to stop any time soon.   Mindy just planted her third season of plants for me and this year is going to be very special.  I would like to use micro greens in my dishes a lot more but we ran into some problems….I was using them faster than we could grow them and I didn’t have time to use them.   After brainstorming a […]

Coming Soon……………….

January 31, 2011 by ericriveracooks

The focus is on micro greens this year.  A lot of it will be strictly indoor growing and we’ve purchased a few lamps and things to make it happen.  This is a gigantic next step in what the future will look like for the Rivera’s. Eric
