Probably one of my favorite foods is salad. sometimes you can get all the fresh ingredients that are organic you need even now. Our producers have been growing in high tunnels for a while now, and of course, greens are some of the first crops. Love it! I won’t be at the winter market this week since I’m planting too. Enjoy a local salad for me, will ya?
Well, of course, here we know that means part-time winter. We have a rollercoaster with temperatures and weather. That’s when it’s time to eat smart and drink herb tea to make our bodies merry!

Try it with some herb infused meals this week and cozy up.

I thought for sure the “Sol” in Goldenrod’s name meant Sun. It seemed good for an August market. But Goldenrod’s name means “to make whole”. You can blow up the last picture and read about some of the basic benefits. As I was reading them on Google, I was going “I need that, and, my husband needs that!” So, along with our fresh herb bunches, our Gourmet Herb Blends, Wellness Tea blends and our other tea herbs in bags, we’ll sample and sell cups of Sparkling Golenrod tea in the sunshine! Be whole, Lori

Finding out and using new things can be daunting at times. But what if you miss the benefits? Like, did ya know?… There are two main kinds of Oregano, one is known as “the Pizza herb” and the other is Wild Marjoram and is milder and sweeter and has immune stimulating proprties. Mugwort is an artemesia that detoxifies and clears, Lamb’s ear soothes the digestive system and Meadowsweet is an excellant ani-inflammatory. New is because we’re bringing fresh bunches of both culinary and traditionally medicinal herbs to the market, and they come with printed info!
