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!

Not only does Tulsi have a delicious flavor (cloves mixed with bubble gum? And it’s delightful iced, too!), it is also a powerhouse of medicinal properties, providing support for your immune… Continue reading Tulsi is Back!
