🧄🧄🧄Sale post!!! 🧄🧄🧄
Still have lots of garlic!
Inventory is finally counted & labeled! This is what we have in stock for this years garlic planting! Perfect time to get them in the ground before winter for a late spring harvest!

(5)Vietnamese Purple Garlic-$5 a bag with 3 bulbs minimum! A hardneck heirloom variety known for its robust, savory, and slightly sweet flavor. It's prized for being milder and brighter than other purple stripes when raw, making it excellent for dishes like pesto or aioli, but it also offers a rich, buttery flavor when cooked. And if i might add the star of the garden this year!

(3)Persian Purple Garlic-$5 a bag with 5 bulbs minimum! A hardneck garlic prized for its attractive purple-streaked skins and mild, sweet flavor, especially when roasted. Originating from Uzbekistan, this heirloom variety is known for its complex, nuanced taste that can be enjoyed raw or cooked, and its cloves are typically arranged in a single layer around a central stalk.

(4)White Hard Neck Garlic- $5 a bag, 6 bulbs minimum due to them being a little smaller. These are a cold-hardy hardneck type, produce a strong, bold flavor that sweetens when cooked, and store well for several months.

Listed below are pictures to give you reference on what to expect upon harvest! All sales are final! We can deliver this weekend or you can pick up at our farm. Or we can figure something out that works for both of us! We are looking into shipping, but as of right now it is unavailable! For payment options we accept: Applepay, Cashapp, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or cash! Please comment or message us if interested 💛! Thank you all!!

🌼🌼🌼Picked the last of the marigold blooms & even left some behind to feed the pollinators 💛.
Did you know marigolds can be used for all kinds of things?? I use them to mix in with our chicken feed to give their immune systems a little boos for the cold months,but they have several other great things to make with them as well! Potpourri, dye, decorations, medicine, garnishes, & even skin care! WOW!!

Medicinally, they are used topically for skin healing, reducing inflammation, and soothing burns, while internally they may aid digestion and have antioxidant properties. In cooking, marigold petals are used to add color and a peppery flavor to dishes and can be brewed into a tea. Gardeners plant marigolds to repel pests, attract beneficial insects, and use them in crafts as a natural dye!!
They also may help with eye health due to their source of lutein and zeaxanthin & have anti inflammatory properties that can help with issues like swelling and muscle cramps! 🌼🌼🌼

Holy sunchokes! Planted a handful & ended up with a half bushel!! And first time cooking them! They pair great with baked salmon & taste absolutely dive! 🐟

Jerusalem artichokes, also called sunchokes,or sunroots are a versatile root vegetable from the sunflower family with a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a crunchy texture similar to water chestnuts. They can be eaten raw, roasted, boiled, or mashed, and are a good source of inulin, iron, potassium, and vitamin C. To prepare them, scrub the knobby tubers clean and cook them like potatoes! These were a staple crop for many Native American Tribes. They cultivated sunchokes for their edible tubers and spread them by planting along frequently traveled trails.

*Nutritional benefits
Inulin: They are rich in inulin, a prebiotic fiber that can support gut health and may be better tolerated by diabetics than starch.
Vitamins and minerals: They are a good source of iron, potassium, and vitamin C.
Lower glycemic index: They store carbohydrates as inulin rather than starch, giving them a lower glycemic index than potatoes.
*Other facts
Not an artichoke: Despite the name, they are not related to the globe artichoke and have no connection to the city of Jerusalem. They are a member of the sunflower family and can grow quite tall. You can store them in a cool, dry place like potatoes.
Notes to consider they can cause flaculents in some individuals!!
