After a long growing season and much anticipations, our farm fresh lemongrass is HERE! I absolutely love this aromatic. It’s a wonderful aromatic addition to many dishes.
1 generous bundle (picture incoming)
This bundle of rosemary, thyme and sage is perfect for drying or for recipes that call for lots of aromatics! Now you don’t need to buy each herb separate, it’s all in here!

Holy basil is a beautiful smelling and tasting herb that is great in stir fries and as a calming tea.
1 bunch
Tender, earthy, versatile and truly tasty. The dark, rippled leaves lend it its fun nickname. Toss it in soup, make it the star of a salad, stir fry it with chili noodles, braise it to top polenta—the list could go on. However you use it, use it generously and often as kale only gets better the deeper into winter we go.

Soup season has truly arrived! Collard greens are related to kale and cabbage, so they have that familiar savory, slightly bitter brassica taste and can be used much the same. Collards become milder with cooking are perfect for braises and soups due in part to their sturdy leaves.
1 generous bunch
Thai basil has an anise scent and slightly spicy (but not hot) licorice flavor. It is the perfect companion to stir fries, noodle dishes, salads and works beautifully as a garnish to many soups like pho. To ensure its longevity: pop it on a windowsill or the counter and change the water occasionally.

(Aka Scallions) They’re delicious, they’re versatile—what’s not to love? Green onions are astonishingly useful and have a slightly milder taste than onions. They are perfect as garnishes, in stir fries, soups, salads (and salad dressings). The possibilities are endless.

Can’t decide what green you want? Our braising mix of kale, collards and beet greens has you covered. Perfect for braises, soups and stews. These tender, yet sturdy greens hold up beautifully to extended cooking.
1 bunch
This green has everything: it’s stunning, often gigantic, rainbow and delectable. Use it in your winter braises, soups, stews or simply sautéed with garlic. Both the stems and leaves are edible, but the stems take a bit longer to cook down than the leaves. (PS: for extra credit, use it in a quiche or other savory tart!)

Local, recently harvested garlic is truly something special. The taste is unparalleled in its brightness, freshness and potency. But, does garlic even need a description? It is both a herb and, I’d argue, a lifestyle. As a garlic girl myself, I put garlic in almost everything—stir fries, soups, stews, salads, salad dressings, breads, dumplings, etc. Grab yourself a head (or 100) and live that garlic folk life!
1 GIANT bunch of long-lasting, beautiful and joyous marigolds (15 stems)
Enjoy our final epic bloom of marigolds! Join us in sending off the flowers until next spring!
Marigold can easily last over 2 weeks (I’ve had them last even longer) if you routinely change their water and re-trim their stems.

Purple Daikon radishes are finally here and they are even more delicious and beautiful than I imagined. These purple daikons are sweet, mild, crunchy and quite succulent. They are delicious raw and as the star of a dish (grated daikon salad anyone?!) or added to salads, grain bowls or sandwiches for an appreciated crunch. They are also great pickled, fermented, roasted or lightly sautéed.
Olive Oil
Liqiuid gold is our 2024 vintage and the color has mellowed to a beautiful golden yellow and its flavor is buttery, peppery and bright. Our Liquid Gold is perfect for dipping, cooking, and topping all and every dish. Olive oil can easily last for a couple years if stored out of the sun and heat in a tinted bottle.
16oz squeeze bottle with a twist open top
1 bar of soap; option of rosemary or calendula
This soap is made with Happy Acre Farm olive oil! It is gentle and nourishing to the skin and the lather is quite nice. As a bar soap snob, this soap absolutely passes muster and is a delight to use.
Flowers
A lovely arrangement of our seasonal flowers. Local, seasonal flowers are truly magical in their personality, freshness, longevity and fragrance. Change their water and re-trim their stems every so often and they will last many days.

Run, don’t walk to get these delicious sweet potatoes! There is something extra magical about these super fresh sweet potatoes. It might be the fact that they look like jewels, but it’s probably because they are delicious and tender. Roast them, mash them, put them in a pie.
