Mâche Love

We are pleased to reprint some of the unsolicited testimonials and letters of encouragement we have received from across America.

We have been eating Mâche in Germany...

(known there as feldsalat) our entire lives, and we were thrilled to see a bag of it on the shelf in a Whole Foods. We like to eat it as a salad with sauteed duck or goose livers on top and a warm vinaigrette. ---C. & H. W., Twain Harte, California

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

When I found this in the store here in Connecticut I couldn't believe it. We call this "nussli salat" from the Black Forest. Thank you again. The only problem is that trips to Europe will no longer have the allure of binging on nussli salat. ---K.R., Newtown, Connecticut

Greetings! I was so glad to hear the NPR report about my favorite green...

this month! As a teacher of French who features cuisine in the curriculum. Two summers ago in France, Mâche was all we ate as we fixed our meals while studying in Paris. I've liked it for over 30 years, but the seeds or the fresh Mâche are hard to find! Much success to the team in Epic Roots! ---S.R., Mt. Vernon, Washington

A First Time Mâche User

I saw you on Martha Stewart. Congratulations to you on your very specific dream fulfillment and delicate product. Long live Mâche. ---B.T., Chico, California

This salad has been a huge hit with our guests...

In the last two weeks. I've served it two times and everyone went to Dorothy Lane Market in Kettering, Ohio to purchase your Mâche. Thanks for introducing this great green to us. ---J.W., Kettering, Ohio

I just had my first taste of your field-grown Mâche...

I've discovered the first American-grown Mâche that looks and tastes like the European varieties, not like the hydroponic version we've been getting here for years. Thanks. ---L.B., Sarasota, Florida

Almost on the Payroll...

Would just like to say THANK YOU! I have been smuggling Mâche seeds from Europe for years, but I have a tough time growing them as they tend to bolt if you aren't watching them every minute. I always stand next to the salad greens section of the grocery store and encourage people to give it a try. Now Fred Meyer, a Huge chain in Portland is carrying Mâche and I think my hard work has paid off. ---Portland, Oregon
