I want to share that I did retire this past fall. I do plan to continue with our online soup sales through ETSY, and our annual Christmas at the Cabin Open House and Holiday Sale, which will be November 8-9, 2024 from 10-3.
I would like to thank all of you for supporting us through 24 years of selling herbs, heirloom tomatoes, and specialty vegetable starts each spring. I encourage you to check out Fulton Street Farm Market in May, where many local farmers offer a huge assortment of plants. For those of you who live farther north, Saenz Greenhouse in Sparta also has a wonderful plant selection.
It does seem strange not to have tiny plants everywhere waiting to be put into bigger containers! However, my husband and I are looking forward to doing some traveling this spring after 24 years of not being able to leave home for fear something would happen to the plant starts. Thank you again for coming to us for your planting needs these many years!

Hello Everyone,
I hope this note finds you all well and enjoying this beautiful summer. I have received many requests to re-start our Herbal Tea Circle Programs, and the recent change in Covid restrictions has allowed us to once again offer some fun programming that I hope you will all enjoy!

As many of the programs involve either food and/or “make and take” preparation, please register early. In the event that social distancing rules return, full refunds will be given. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
