Nickler Acres: Eggs and Sprouts and Shoots! Oh My!

Nickler Acres is coming this Saturday with an expanded farm stand at the Chico Certified Farmers Market! The small family farm located in Gerber, CA will still have the same great certified organic eggs we’ve come to know and love, with a new edition: microgreens!

They have a great variety of sprouts and shoots, including buckwheat, sunflower shoots, upland cress, broccoli, a mild mix of kale, kohlrabi, cabbage, and mizuna, and pea shoots! Expect to get staples year round, with some seasonal varieties changing throughout the year!

While micro greens are grown widely for gourmet markets and restaurants, what’s important to Nickler Acres is their nutritional value. Microgreens are nutrient dense and oh so versatile. While they are most nutritious raw, they are also tasty when lightly cooked – and they look pretty as all get-out on top of nearly anything!

Nickles Acres will have their microgreens available at both the Wednesday and Saturday Farmers’ Market. Come see them this Saturday!
