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!
