Garlic for Sale from the Mountains of Western North Carolina

SOLD OUT FOR THE SEASON
It is garlic season and Our Tiny Farm has beautiful garlic for sale! We have large German White (many bulbs are over 2 inches in diameter), Spanish Roja, and what our customers call "reasonably sized" Elephant Garlic (about 2 inches in diameter).

It was a great garlic growing year for us and the garlic is all healthy and firm. The garlic was grown in our market garden where we have followed the USDA National Organic Program standards for at least 13 years. We carefully rotate our crops every year, fertilize with well-aged manure from our animals and homemade compost tea, and weed with hands and hoes. We hand-pull the garlic in late June and dry it on racks in our open-air sheds. It is then trimmed, cleaned, and packed for shipping.
Our on-line offer this year is for a box weighing between 4 and 4.5 lbs shipped priority mail for $58.00. This will include about 28 bulbs of the German White or Elephant Garlic and more of the Spanish Roja. To order, click on the Add to Cart button on the right (if you are using your tablet or smart phone and don't see any Add to Cart buttons, please scroll to the bottom of this page and click on "View web version" which is just above my picture)

This is a German White above and a "reasonably sized" Elephant Garlic below.
Our current inventory is:
SOLD OUT German White Garlic
SOLD OUT Elephant Garlic
SOLD OUT Spanish Roja
(there may be more available when we finish planting)

THREE Fall Ginseng Planting Specials!!!

Here are THREE special offers to help you get started growing your own "Green Gold" (that's ginseng, if you haven't guessed it).
THIS SALE IS OVER AS OF 11/3/2015.

Offer #1: 10 three-year-old ginseng rootlets from High Valley Ginseng & Herb Co. in Suches, GA and the book Growing and Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal and Other Woodland Medicinals signed by the lead author, Jeanine Davis.

Offer #2: Two ounces of high quality ginseng seed from Green Gold Enterprises and the book Growing and Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal and Other Woodland Medicinals signed by the second author, Scott Persons. Both for $60.00 (plus tax in NC). Scott will ship the book and seeds together.

Please note that Johnny Crisson of High Valley Ginseng retains full responsibility for his plants. All questions or concerns about the ginseng rootlets or goldenseal rhizomes should be directed to him through (http://highvalleyginseng.com). Scott Persons of Green Gold Enterprises retains full responsibility for his seeds and the book he ships. All questions or concerns about those should be directed to him at wasp3@frontier.com.

2015 Honey Crop is In-Available First at the Hendersonville Apple Festival!


SOLD OUT FOR THE SEASON
Glen has worked long and hard to rebuild our hives after losing most of them, several times, to colony collapse. But the hard work and persistence has paid off and we once again have enough of a crop to offer it for sale to the public.

Our first sales are today at the Apple Festival in Hendersonville. Look for Glen representing Our Tiny Farm at the Henderson County Beekeepers Association booth. There you will also find a demonstration hive, bee suit, smoker, and sign-up sheet to get information about the next Bee School. Glen said the interest was high yesterday. Looks like we may have a whole new crop of beekeepers in 2016!

WE ARE SOLD OUT OF THIS SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE SEASON. THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE THROUGH LOCAL BOOKSELLERS
High Valley Ginseng has sold out of one year old rootlets, so we are making a new special offer that includes THREE-YEAR-OLD GINSENG ROOTLETS:

High Valley Ginseng and Our Tiny Farm have come together to make you a special offer of 10 three-year-old ginseng rootlets AND a copy of the book Growing and Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal & Other Woodland Botanicals for just $58.00. That saves you $4.67 compared to buying the products from the individual websites. The book alone goes for $39.95 in the bookstore, so this is a great deal. ROOTLET PLUS BOOK SALE OVER AS OF 11/3/2015.
 
The book will be signed and dated by the lead author, Jeanine Davis. It will be shipped directly from the author at Our Tiny Farm in Etowah, NC via media mail within one business day of receiving the order.

The three year old ginseng roots will be shipped directly to you from High Valley Ginseng in Suches, GA via priority mail. To learn more about High Valley Ginseng, check out their Facebook page or Website.

To provide the best quality and service, the ginseng rootlets and book will be shipped separately from each business. High Valley Ginseng suggests you have the plants delivered to where you can be sure to pick them up right away so they don't lose quality from staying in the packaging too long.

Each company retains responsibility for their own products and any questions or concerns should be directed to the relevant company.

This is a limited time offer and will be discontinued when High Valley Ginseng can no longer ship rootlets.
