Growing and Using Herbs
Who can resist herbs? From their wonderful smells to the many shades of green in their leaves to the flavor they add to meals, we appreciate and love them all! Our herb gardens are the most peaceful and therapeutic part of our farm. Let us share some of that serenity with you. Bring a little harmony into your life with the fragrance, the essence, the wonder of herbs!

Although we've gardened and grown herbs all our lives, it was only a few years ago that we finally built a formal herb garden. Wow, have we learned a lot! From sun and shade requirements to a list of herbs that can spread with too much enthusiasm to the best way to plant lavender for winter survival, see our Growing Herbs page. |
| What to do with all those herbs once you've grown them? How about making Pesto,Herbal Teas, or Herbal Vinegars? We've included some of our favorite Recipes, along with instructions for Freezing, Drying and Salting Herbs. |  |
