Edible, medicinal, and native plants for the Pacific Northwest
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!
With beautiful blue flowers clustered atop two foot tall stalks, hound’s tongue is named for the shape and texture of the leaves that form a rosette at the base of the plant. It’s native to the sunny meadows and dappled shade of hillside forests that don’t receive a lot of water in the summer. A pretty plant for dry shade! We have lots of deer that don’t eat our plants, but we can’t guarantee that deer won’t eat yours.
