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!

Licorice has an edible and medicinal root that is most commonly used as a tea.  The perennial plant prefers sun and well drained soil.  The plant can grow up to 2 feet tall and has purple and white flowers. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia and is popular in Ayurveda.  Because it is not very cold hardy, we reccomend planting it in a greenhouse.
