From Carter at CS3 Farms
We have early Romaine lettuce, chicory, and microgreens, as well as our delicious nutrient-dense Farmed and Foraged Greens. We also have herbal honey, gourmet mustard, and herbal teas for what ails you!
Green romaine and curly lettuce are coming in strong, as is our chicory! We have chicory leaf, which has a unique, bitter taste that adds a special “kick” to salads, sandwiches, and many other meals. Our bodies need bitter for digestion and other functions, so why not try some that is nutritious?
Add nutrition, texture, and taste to your salad or sandwich with Mustard, Kale, and Turnip Microgreens. There’s just the right amount of bite to get your taste buds’ attention! Microgreens have much higher nutrient levels than the full grown veggies, and work well adding to smoothies, salads, or baked dishes.
You will love our Farmed and Foraged greens. This blend is a great tame & wild hybrid salad complement or substitute, it’s awesome on sandwiches, and it is quite delicious topping a burger or other sandwich. If you tried forage greens you will appreciate the tasty, nutrient dense, blend that will either replace or complement your salad.

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
The greenhouses are emptying out this spring, but we still have a few beautiful items for shade: astilbes, native begonias, coral bells, and several ferns. And for sun or part sun: balloon flowers, daylilies, Euphorbia, Geraniums (Cranesbill), Sedum, Shasta Daisy, and Stokesia Asters.
We are currently sold out of elderberry bushes, but will be glad to dig more. If you would like some, let us know how many so we will dig enough.
Keep an eye on the Houseplant section – we’ll be adding a few within a couple of weeks. They’ll be happy on the porch this summer, as long as you remember to bring them inside in late September. Most houseplants don’t like temperatures lower than 50 degrees at night.
(Top, L to R) Astilbe group and Hardy Species Begonia for shady areas.
(Bottom, L to R) Balloon Flower and Geranium (Cranesbill) for sunny areas.
All items listed under “Growers”.
