Cut Your Own Herbs

Miranda‘s hard work on the herb garden has paid off and the cut your own herb garden is open!  The herb garden is located in the field just behind the corn barn, where CSA pickup at the farm is located. There will be instructions and signs directing you on where to go and which herbs are ready for cutting.  If you pickup at the farm you can snip some extra herbs when you pickup your share, for folks who pickup at Seventh and George are welcome to come out to the farm and pick some herbs.  Here are a few of the herbs that will be available:

Parsley

Rosemary

Oregano

Thyme

Sage

Lavendar

Basil

Lovage

Cilantro

Lemongrass

Mint
