Reflecting back on when I got the farm started in 2020, one of the exciting parts of starting a new business is choosing a name and logo! I asked friends and family to help me find the perfect name, but for the logo, I knew I wanted to hire my artist sister to design one… Continue reading Who Designed My Logo?

If you couldn’t make it to the Betsey Mills Christmas Craft Show earlier this month, I just restocked All Pro Nutrition in Marietta yesterday with tea, including my two new varieties for this year–Calendula and Eucalyptus! All Pro has ALL the varieties in stock from Applemint to Tulsi, so if you need last-minute Christmas gifts… Continue reading All Pro Nutrition has your tea!

At the end of every farming season I collect and dry seeds from the field so that I can grow my herbs again next year! I also sell my seeds so that my customers can grow their favorite teas fresh at home, too!

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t! I am really excited that one of this year’s experiments WORKED (and tastes delicious)!

They are $30 each and super-fuzzy on the inside! Here’s how ordering works:

For the past few days I have begun my morning by throwing open the curtains to see if Father Frost had visited the farm overnight. Today was the day! First Frost is one of two very important days in my farming calendar (the other being Last Frost), as a frost will put an end to… Continue reading First Frost!

Next week will be our last herbal tea U-pick of the season! We will do somewhat of a different format this time, where pickers can schedule their U-pick in advance anytime during Sept 24th-28th (Tues-Sat) between 12:00-6:00pm. This will hopefully accommodate everyone’s schedules so that no one misses out on stocking up their tea cabinet… Continue reading U-Pick Herbal Tea!

The past couple of weeks I have been saving seeds from my herbs so that I can propagate them again next year! Many of you bought seeds or plant starts from me this spring (or attended the seeding workshop!) and grew your own herbal tea plants this summer. I thought you might enjoy learning how… Continue reading How to Save Seeds
