Cut Herbs by Special Order


We're testing a cut herb special order system. We'll still have the popular stuff--thyme, oregano, catnip, and dill--on a regular basis. Other herbs aren't as abundant, so we'll bring them as requested by special order. Please send us an e-mail if you'd like to order any of these herbs:

Rosemary
Sage
French tarragon
Lavender
Chives

We'll also have basil, parsley, and cilantro later in the season--we'll update the list as they become available.

Herb bunches are $1 each, or three bunches for $2.50 (mix-n-match).

May is National Strawberry Month



May is National Strawberry Month, and May 20th is Pick Strawberries Day. We did not forget to celebrate, and we unofficially declared a companion holiday: Eat Strawberries Night! We'll pick more strawberries for Saturday's market at Green Spring. The strawberries are just starting to come in, so availability will be limited.

Now that it's strawberry season, we expect to be making strawberry jam in the near future. Yum!

Our old friends are returning for another year! It's great to walk around the farm and rediscover treasures that have been dormant over the winter. One of our favorites is clematis: it produces astonishing flowers in purples and pinks.

One of the black-eyed susans put out a single flower--way ahead of schedule!
