Rooted in Gainesville
UK's Auxiliary Farm
Where our ingredients begin. A working farm that feeds our kitchen, our community, and our mission.
From Soil to Curbside
UK's Auxiliary Farm is the living backbone of Underground Kitchen. Nestled near Gainesville, our farm grows the seasonal produce, herbs, and specialty ingredients that define every dish we serve.
We believe food tastes better when you know exactly where it came from — and when the people who grew it are your neighbors. Our farm is a direct extension of our commitment to honest, transparent, farm-to-table cooking.
The Farm
FALL — SEPTEMBER 2026
What's Growing Now
Patty Pan Squash
Uniform bright yellow patty pan
Fully yellow tulip-shaped, blemish-free fruits with bright green stems. Attractive harvested while small with blossom still attached, or teacup-sized. Plants are open for ease of harvest. Some spines.
Baby Carrots
Glow Stix Sunrise
A reliable, quick-maturing mix of pastel colors. Tested for uniform growing speed and sizes. Well suited for both early spring and summer sowing. Compact tops lend well to bunching
Hammerhead Spinach
Full-savoy DMR spinach
Upright medium-green spinach with slightly elongated, round, cupped leaves. Quick to bolt, so best suited for early spring, fall, and winter sowing.
Cabbage
Organic Farao
Attractive deep green, 3 lb. heads are filled with tender, thin, crisp, peppery-sweet leaves. Holds well in the field and is slow to split. USDA Certified Organic.
Darkibor Kale
Organic green curly kale
Similar to Winterbor, but somewhat later to mature and slightly less curled. The color is a darker green versus the blue-green colors of Winterbor and Starbor. A sturdy kale, with tight curl and close internodes. USDA Certified Organic.
Broccoli
Superior Piracicaba strain
Piracicaba is a type of mini broccoli bred in the city of the same name in Brazil. 'Sidekick' is our selected strain of Piracicaba. They tended to have floppy plants and lacked uniformity in head size and color. We selected for an upright plant; uniform, dark green heads; and strong side-shoot production. Sidekick produces large quantities of sweet and tender florets on very large, high-yielding plants.
Cauliflower
Organic skywalker Cauliflower
Uniform, medium-size, self-wrapping heads. Large healthy plants. Cold tolerant. For late-summer and fall harvest. USDA Certified Organic.
Collard Greens
Georgia Southern(F1 Flash)
Dark gray-green leaves with a smooth margin stack easily for a tidy bunch.
