Herb Selections

NEW THIS SEASON - We are currently planting a new section in our wooded area that will be an environment for a group of rarer medicinal native shade plants. We are really excited about this new little ecosystem we will be developing! Our big plan is to get these natives to establish themselves comfortably and eventually we will be able to share some. The wooded native garden will also feature some imported pheasants for color and contrast!

As this project progresses we will post photos here and in our Monthly newsletters....

We offer over 100 varieties of herbs - available as herb plants, dried, fresh cut, seeds, as well as in teas and tisanes and in lip balms, salves, and soaps.

OUR HERBS

Our herbs are grown in diverse plantings that incorporate traditional companion planting concepts along with modern space-saving ideas. This supportive plant community is also made of native plants and flowers. They are grown using our own top quality compost created using materials from our farm. This diverse environment and strong support system allows the herbs to thrive and truly become what they are meant to be. This vigor can be appreciated in their strong scents, full flavors, and well-balanced levels of medicinal qualities.

Herb plants are available throughout the growing season, but the largest selection will be available in May and June. We are having two large Plant Sales at the farm this Spring.
