Medicinal and Culinary Herbs

We offer fresh cut herbs for cooking or using fresh, herb plants, tea blends, and seeds for planting your own herb garden.  We harvest many of our medicinal herbs for making teas, infused oils, salves, tinctures, and other products.  We start all of our herb plants from seeds and cuttings here on the farm, and tend and harvest the plants with respect and appreciation, harvesting at the peak of potency and flavor.  Keep in mind that most herbs traditionally thought of as being culinary herbs also have medicinal properties.  Here is what we're growing for the 2017 season:
