Tryon Mountain Farms is located in the Thermal Belt Region of Western North Carolina. Known for its moderate climate and natural beauty, the area became known for tourism, equestrian sports, mountain crafts and grapes at the turn of the last century. While my family has lived in Polk County for over 150 years, my parents moved to our 15 acre farm over 50 years ago with the goal to practice organic
farming while raising their children. In 2015, my husband and I decided to come back to the farm and create a farm based business. When you have 50+ years of Organically Farmed Land...it must to be nurtured and perpetuated! We produce a line of "seed to bottle" Simple Syrups, Salt Blends and Herb Blends utilizing ingredients which we can grow on our farm in North Carolina. This tenet makes our products truly unique. Our Simple Syrups currently include five different varieties, some available year round and some seasonal: Lavender Hibiscus Simple Syrup, Fig Simple Syrup, Spicy Hibiscus Simple Syrup, Kudzu Blossom Simple Syrup and Blueberry Prickly Pear Simple Syrup. Simple Syrups can be used as mocktail or cocktail mixers, flavorings for tea and coffee, for homemade sodas, as marinade ingredients and for baking. Our Salt Blends incorporate New Zealand Solar Salt as Tracy, my husband, is from New Zealand. We then blend our farm herbs to create balanced mixes that flavor both meats and veg. Our varities include: Hibiscus Chili Garlic Salt, Beer Thyme Salt, Rosemary Red Wine Salt, Lavender White Wine Salt, Lemony Garlic Scape Salt and Flower Power Salt. Our salts are all packaged in grinder jars so the balanced mix of salt and spices is ground freshly everytime it is used. Our seasonal Herb Blends include Greek Oregano Dipping Mix, Herbes de Tryon and Gold Dust Farm Mix. These small batch herb and vegetable blends add flavor to any meal or appetizer.
