Hello, and welcome to the home of the Little Brown House Herbary! We believe you'll be delighted when you buy our herbs, and here are just a few reasons why: We begin by using heirloom seeds, which are hand-selected and individually tucked into rich, loamy soil--our own blend of home-grown compost, peat and pearlite. Seeds are then nourished with pure Oregon rainwater and water from the cold, deep well that has been used for five generations on our farm. When the sun shines and the clean country air grows warm, our seeds spring to life. Over the next few months, we constantly monitor growing conditions and care for our herbs in a way that will help to preserve our Earth for generations to come--and so we can bring beautiful, healthy plants to you!

Recipe of the Month Salsa de Cilantro 1/2 cup minced onion 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro 1 med jalapeno pepper, minced 2 garlic cloves, minced 4 medium tomatoes, chopped 2 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 Tbsp white vinegar Juice of 1 lime Salt and pepper to taste Mix all ingredients and refrigerate. Enjoy! Gardening Hint of the Month Got aphids? Beneficial insects are our first line of defense, but for persistent problems, try this: In a blender, whir the peel of one large orange with three cups of water until reasonably smooth. Strain (I use a metal strainer lined with a clean cotton rag), mix with 1 tablespoon of baby shampoo, and funnel resulting mixture into a spray bottle. Spray leaves/undersides of leaves until wet. |
