    NEW YORK, NY (JANUARY 14, 2021) — Bowery Farming, the largest vertical farming company in the U.S., unveils a new “Farmer’s Selection” product category, a line of rotating, small-batch, wildly flavorful, next-generation greens, curated by Bowery’s R&D team.

    Bowery’s Mustard Frills — hearty mustard greens with a tingly start and a fiery, wasabi-style finish — are the first greens released under this new category and will be available in select grocery retailers this week through Spring 2021, followed by Green Sorrel.

    “Deeply committed to innovation and bringing new and exciting culinary experiences to consumers, our world-class R&D team has been hard at work developing this new line of wildly flavorful greens grown locally with unparalleled freshness,” says Katie Seawell, Chief Marketing Officer, Bowery Farming. “We’re thrilled to unveil our new Farmer’s Selection category, which showcases the nimbleness of our farms and beauty in this emerging category of Protected Produce through these rotating, first-of-its-kind greens, developed with flavor in mind first and foremost, with seeds selected for their unique properties. For this first release, we set out to develop a recipe with a kick, and Mustard Frills surpassed even our wildest expectations.”

    The Farmer’s Selection category grew from the desire to bring the thrill of discovering a new ingredient at your local farm stand to the grocery store. As Bowery’s Agricultural Scientists work year-round on uncovering flavor-packed seeds, this new category emerged as a way to let consumers in on the process, experiencing a new, small-batch green every few months. 

    Designed to turn up the heat in your favorite soups, stews, salads, and more, Mustard Frills will first be available in select New York City independent grocery retailers; the second product in the Farmer’s Selection category, Green Sorrel, will be sold by a broader range of grocery retailers.

    Bowery’s product line of pesticide-free, Protected Produce also features a new-and-improved version of iceberg lettuce called Crispy Leaf, velvety and peppery Arugula with a punch, delicate Baby Kale with a sweet finish, smooth yet crisp Baby Butter Lettuce, tender Baby Romaine, a variety of herbs, and more. Available in nearly 700 retailers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, including Whole Foods Market, Giant Food, Stop & Shop, and Walmart, Bowery had 600% growth in brick-and-mortar sales and more than doubled its sales with e-commerce partners, including Amazon, in 2020.  

    Bowery, who counts among its investors and culinary advisors the likes of Tom Colicchio and Jose Andres, has also recently appointed New York-native and Maryland-based Top Chef alum Chef Eric Adjepong as its newest Culinary Advisor.
