In our seed to plate series we show you how we grow, harvest and prepare each crop. We provide a sneak peak of the information included here and you can find the full content in our Seed to Plate Tutorials. This week we’re going in-depth with Swiss Chard.

Chard is a powerhouse in the garden and in the kitchen. One serving of chard contains three times your daily recommended intake of vitamin K and 44 percent of your vitamin A. It’s one of our long season crops, so we’re able to harvest it all season long. In this next featured crop in our seed to plate series, learn how to grow and care for your chard plants in the garden as well as tips on how to harvest. Then follow along in the kitchen as we discuss ways to use chard and prepare a hot chard artichoke dip. Find the full recipe here.
