I don’t normally sell wholesale but holy cannoli do I have a lot of this tetra white feverfew blooming. $12/bunch, have 20+ bunches available. Stems are 24”+ and many are branching.

I experimented last fall and planted some in the hoop and some in the field hoping for two successions a couple weeks apart but they are all blooming together now!🤦‍♀️

Lesson learned but I know this stuff doesn’t transport well so imported stuff is typically crap! This is fresh cut and conditioning in the cooler.

Message me if you need some!

I think this feverfew needs a doping test.
I have never seen plants get this big.

Overwintered unpinched plants ar 6”
Spacing in the unheated hoop house are now 4 foot tall and loaded with buds!

PS - this is one of my absolute favorite flowers!

Cash is King!
Shop small, shop local, and keep your money in our community!

📢 Remember Cash📢
Bringing cash to a farmers market is incredibly important. While many vendors now accept digital payments or cards, cash remains the universal, fail-proof currency. It guarantees a swift transaction, ensures purchases even if Wi-Fi cuts out, and helps farmers avoid costly credit card processing fees. Thank you!!!

Let me introduce you to the most versatile plant on the farm….

Comfrey (Symphytum officinale)

There are so many uses for this plant that even though it spreads like crazy, we don’t mind.

1. The goats LOVE it. It is an excellent supplement that is protein-rich, and high in calcium and allantoin. Perfect for our dairy goats.
2. As a medicinal herb (NOTE – I am not a doctor nor giving medical advice). I use it to make a “healing salve” as it is believed to help soothe bruises, sprains, muscle aches, and help support tissue & bone recovery.
3. As a natural, high-potassium fertilizer that is ideal for flowering & fruiting plants. I chop & drop around plants as a mulch and make a liquid compost tea from the leaves for an organic foliar spray fertilizer on our dahlias.
4. A pollinator paradise! While not native to New York, these plants are always buzzing with pollinator activity.
5. The dainty little pinkish/purple bell flowers last 5-7 days in a vase. They add a unique element of design to our bouquets that you won’t find in grocery or even most florist arrangements.

Come see them for yourself this weekend as our bouquets at the farmers markets in Colonie & Schenectady Greenmarket will feature these unique blooms.

It’s complicated….I definitely have a love/hate relationship with Dahlias. They are expensive to start, high maintenance, and labor intensive but so damn beautiful.

Tonight I got the first row in. Only 3 more to go!

PS - this garden knife is the best tool I have ever bought! If you garden and don’t have one….you need one!

Frozen chicken, egg & carrot for the win!
When momma has to get multiple rows planted out but the little wanderer needs to be occupied while fenced in!

She isn’t going anywhere for at least an hour!
