While Garden of Eve Farm does grow organic strawberries and rhubarb, the majority of our fruit comes from Garden of Eve’s neighbors, Briermere Farm. Unfortunately, our climate makes it nearly impossible to grow organic plums, peaches, apples, cherries, and pears. Despite these harsh realities, in reverence to the environment, Briermere Farm employs Integrated Pest Management (IPM), otherwise know as “low-spray”, farming with techniques that are both effective and lean more towards environmental friendly farming.
Bouquets may include: lilies, sunflowers, lavender, lupine, baptisia, calendula, dephinium, larkspur, black-eyed susans, salvia, snapdragons, zinnias, yarrow asters, bee balm, anise hyssop, butterfly bush, and hydrangea.
