Tomorrow's new tea is Mango Tango. A tropical blend of sweet mango and zesty lime awakens the senses, while a warm whisper of ginger and the fragrant, woodsy notes of rosemary create a beautifully balanced and invigorating infusion. It's a refreshing and aromatic escape in every cup. Stop by our booth at the Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market to try it for yourself.

Only 4 more Saturday's until the end of the market season! Tomorrow at the Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market we will have 2 new teas!

Both have the same core ingredients featuring lemon balm. If you are a person who loves the taste of lemon but gets digestively upset from lemon juice- you are going to want to try Lemon Bliss 🍋😋. There is no lemon in the blends! These herbs create a natural lemon flavor of their own. Lemon balm is one of my favorite herbs to help reduce the stress of the day.

The second blend is Lemon Thyme Time. The flavors in this blend get pretty deep and create a very pleasing robust herbal blend. Thyme has many health benefits including reducing stress on the nervous system and is a good source of iron.

We will have fresh cut herbs and veggies. Hope to see you out tomorrow.

Tomorrow August 30th at Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market .....

This week's tea is Sun-kissed Grove. Naturally decaffeinated, this herbal tea will uplift your morning and prepare your mind for the day. This flavor profile was built around Rosemary. I know it might seem odd however Rosemary has been found to help with cognitive health, particularly memory and concentration. According to the National Library of Medicine Rosemary extract reduced ADHD symptoms in juvenile rats. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10308472/
To balance out the flavor we added Lemongrass, Orange Peel and Cloves. The bright notes of the citrus and warmth of the cloves blend perfectly with the rosemary creating a truly one of a kind blend.

We will also have tomatoes, peppers, green beans, and fresh cut herbs.

Fresh cut herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Tarragon, Chives, Curly Parsley, Dill and Cilantro. Only $2 a bundle.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

85 tomato plants and I have found 2 all season! Thank goodness for companion planting.

Plant Borage, Dill and Cilantro to keep these guys away and to bring in the parasitic wasps that kill them.

Tomatoes, tomatoes and more tomatoes! Today I picked a literal wagon full of tomatoes just in time for Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market tomorrow. We have several unique varieties to choose from.

Peppers are coming in great too. Check out these beautiful cayenne long hot peppers! They are a scoville score of 50,000- about halfway up so they pack some heat!

New tea of the week is- Blueberry Pancakes 🥞😋
Made with Rooibos this is a caffeine free tea blended with just the right ingredients to satisfy that sweet tooth.

What a beautiful morning Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market ! This week's tea is Harvest Chai.
I know it's still summer but I am dreaming of fall. Blended with pumpkin, apple and spices to remind us that cooler days are just around the corner. Hope to see you soon!

Imagine opening your oven door and smelling a fresh baked batch of oatmeal raisin cookies. For some this sounds absolutely delightful. If that is you then come see me! This week's tea is-

Oatmeal raisin cookies 🤤🍪

We also have a restock of previously sold out tea blends.

Restock your spice cabinet with herbs grown and dried in 2025. Spices available starting this week: Cilantro, Coriander, Rosemary, Sage, French Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Marjoram, Oregano and Dill.

Also available is 7 month aged Tahitian Vanilla Extract. Tahitian vanilla has a different flavor profile than Madagascar beans (which is what is typically used because it is cheaper). Tahitian vanilla has an aroma that is floral with tones of ripe fruit. The flavor is rich with notes of cherry-chocolate, licorice and caramel.
My favorite way to use it is in creme brulee. ❤️

Fresh cut herbs, eggs and tons of tomatoes!

Come see us tomorrow at Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market .

I woke up to my very own Smutty Buddy and a fairy left it's drum set out!

I have research to do but as I understand corn smutt is a delicacy and highly sought after. If you are one of those people shoot me a message. I'm not sure how long the face will stay 🫣 it wasn't like that 2 days ago. It reminds me of some weird creature from Doctor Who.

As for the drum set... Mushrooms grow weird and I am here for it! 😂

Indulge in rich, bold flavors that make the taste buds 😁😁😁. This week dive into decadent chocolate and cherries in our new tea blend-
Dark Temptation ☕

Or perhaps grab some black cherry tomatoes or the chocolate pear tomatoes both will deliver a deep flavor that true tomato fans love.

If that doesn't grab your attention maybe check out the Queen of the Night tomato. A beautiful heirloom tomato from Russia this is a medium sized tomato with a slight smokey flavor profile.

Whatever your tomato preference- we have a unique selection to peak your curiosity!

Also we will have fresh cut herbs, dried herbs, herb blends, infused salts & sugars and some eggs!

See you tomorrow at Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market

There is always one overachiever in the garden. The award this year goes to Sorghum. They can get up to 10 feet tall but it's still surprising and cool!

I was today years old when I discovered people are out here eating Basil Seeds! Not only does it provide numerous health benefits but it can also be used as a thickener and stabilizer. I'm going to be trying some this summer!

Basil seeds have a long history of use in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, but their health effects have only been tested in a few studies. Here are 12 fascinating benefits and uses of basil seeds.
