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!

Oregon Sunshine

Eriophyllum lanatum

A beauty for a native wildflower garden, Oregon sunshine lives up to its name, bearing profuse quantities of deep yellow blooms. Gray green foliage is ornamental. This plant blooms no taller than a foot or two. You will find it growing on sunny slopes in wet wildflower meadows. In a garden, it makes a nice mat on borders and is great over rock walls. A wonderful companion to purple penstemon and pink checkermallows, which also bloom in late spring. Easy to grow, it is drought tolerant and deer do not bother it at our farm.
