Food Trends for the Foodie Garden

2018 Food Trends to Grow in Your Garden

We are often asked to speak about food and gardening trends to Master Gardeners and home gardeners and it just happens to be one of our favorite topics. Sometimes, depending on the group, we might even call it “Snob Factor” gardening because who doesn’t like to impress their guests with a unique vegetable or fruit grown in their own garden?!

Here are some food trends, as defined by some of the leading food publications and a few AAS Winners that go along with those trends:

Katarina Cabbage has a perfect smaller head size (4”) and shape to be grown successfully in containers on patios, decks or in-ground beds, possibly as an ornamental/edible border.
Chef's Choice Green Tomato - The newest addition to the Chef’s Choice series produces beautiful green colored fruits with subtle yellow stripes and a wonderful citrus-like flavor and perfect tomato texture.

Wouldn’t a basket of these goodies make you want to post it on Instagram?

What are you planning to grow this year in your “Foodie Garden”?
