The Dirt on the Garden

Located in Hoytsville, Utah at 5800 feet above sea level, Ranui Gardens specializes in year-round gourmet salad greens. Our cool evening temperatures allow us to grow fine salad greens right through the summer months. But we don't stop growing these greens when the days get short and cold. By using simple methods we are able to extend our growing season to almost twelve months long, producing the sweetest, most tender greens of the year. Our list of greens include spinach, arugula, leaf lettuce mix, Wild Greens  (our signature salad mix), and mache, to name a few.

We promote a healthy farm through composting, cover crops, crop rotation, compost teas, plant teas, and the Biodynamic  preparations. We have been employing these methods since 1984 and continue to be Utah's leader in sustainable growing techniques. We have never used any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides on our farm, ever! When you eat our veggies you can taste the difference and it's all due to twenty plus years of good growing practices and a little love and attention from the grower.
