We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we’ve sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.
Don’t worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we’ve written about our plants!
We’ll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

You may be familiar with the strong flavor of this traditional perennial vegetable. The root, grated and made into a condiment to help with digetion, it is often served with meat. We like to make a fire cider with horseradish, garlic, chili, and cider vinegar which is a great salad dressing and general condiment. This plant is quite vigorous and will thrive in a raised bed with garden soil, or grow in heavy clay. It is important to note that even when harvested annually, it can be difficult to completely remove from a garden. Therefore, we reccomend growing it in a large pot or pots, which also makes harvesting so much easier. You can remove part of the root and re-plant the upper portion and it will grow again next year.
