BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Mini Salads

Micro cress, baby veg and edible flowers. Meet the farmer who specialises in the tiny.

Micro cress, baby veg and edible flowers. They are all in demand from Michelin-starred restaurants. Anna Hill meets the Norfolk specialist in small, Alan Miller.

Anna Hill meets a chef who decided to step out of the kitchen and into the kitchen garden, and is now one of the largest growers of "micro leaves" and micro veg, used by the top chefs in the UK.

Allan Miller describes how he connects directly with chefs to grow miniature leaves from plants around the world, which add flavour and style to dinner plates in restaurants across the country.

Produced and presented by Anna Hill.
