Give the Gift of Greens

Give the Gift of Greens

What’s a green-leaning chef to do during the barren days of winter when summer’s bounty is long gone and harvest season is behind her? If she's chef and cookbook author Leah Dubois of The Biltmore and Local 149, she'll be sitting pretty with plentiful, supremely local greens fresh from her GoGreen Sprouter.

The compact and contained self-watering systems allow for hassle free growing throughout the year so Dubois (and maybe a lucky giftee on your list) can have an endless supply of micro greens at her fingertips. Personally, she’s looking forward to spicy cress, alfalfa, beet greens and maybe a few wheat grass shots in her future but the GoGreen Sprouter will grow any seed that germinates so there’s room for a little experimentation. If you’ve got a green-thumbed chef on your list, wrap one of these up so they can have fresh greens throughout the gray days of winter.
