Peas are more than just a side ingredient, they’re a menu opportunity.

They are a versatile feature that work well across various menus and pair well with proteins. Highlighting peas now means helping chefs capitalize on freshness, create standout dishes, and drive repeat orders while the ingredient is at its best.

Celery is a true hidden gem in the kitchen.

Often overlooked, celery adds depth, aroma, and balance to a wide range of dishes. From building rich flavor bases in soups, stocks, and sauces to adding crunch and freshness to salads and sides, it plays a quiet but essential role in the kitchen.

Simple, versatile, and full of flavor, celery proves that sometimes the most impactful ingredients are the ones working behind the scenes

Cahaba Clubs Herbal Outpost sits on a 10-acre parcel in Odessa, Florida, just northwest of downtown Tampa.

Marvin began his hydroponic growing operation in this serene setting in 2000. With the support of family, friends, and a dedicated team, he continues to grow and evolve in the hydroponic farming business. Simply put, Marvin is all about micros. 🌱

Cahaba grows the freshest hydroponic micro greens, herbs, petite lettuces, and specialty pea shoots, harvested daily and cut to order before shipping nationwide. Grown in environmentally controlled greenhouses, their greens receive nutrient-rich water delivered directly to the root, then recycled and reused, using significantly less water than traditional methods.

Chefs use Cahaba products not only as a garnish, but also as a unique and flavorful condiment to their signature dishes, delivering vibrant flavor and exceptional quality with impressive shelf life.
