We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we’ve sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.
Don’t worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we’ve written about our plants!
We’ll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

We have both Scandinavian and Russian cultivars of this alpine astringent and tonic herb. Accustomed to sunny, well-drained, high-elevation rocky meadows, we’ve been able to grow this plant in potting soil with good drainage through the soggy Willamette Valley winters with good success. The succulent leaves eventually make a bright yellow flower that may remind you of stonecrop, a native alpine succulent plant.
Rose root is a very popular herb in Northern Europe and China where people enjoy it as a tonic support to help the body handle stress and cold conditions. The entire plant is edible.
