Vendor Information: We ran a craft type business for a number of years, growing and using dried flowers. We gradually added herbs and cut flowers and now include heirloom vegetables. We went from 6 plants in an old chicken house foundation to two greenhouses, two cold frames, 5-1/2 acres of plasticulture and a new farm shop. We have a wide variety of heirloom vegetables, specializing in over 40 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. We do not use chemical based pesticides or fertilizers.
This is a farm family operation with several grandchildren helping Caroline and Don (us). With their help, we now grow over 400 varieties of herbs, have a farm shop and an online book business with over 2000 titles of new, used and preloved garden books - some books dating as far back as 1850 A.D.
Visitors are welcome to come see our operation. Come check us out!
