Our journey began, as so many garden stories do, with a few homemade raised beds. Seed catalogs became our favorite reading material and things quickly got out of hand. Like all gardeners, we've had our share of challenges, but the beauty of creation inspires us to keep growing.
The garden's are named for St. Fiacre (pronounced fee-ah-kruh) who blessed those around him with food and herbal medicine. He desparately wanted to be a hermit and live alone, but the Lord had other plans. Everywhere he went, people came to get food and herbs. He learned that his blessings were not to be hoarded, but it the spirit of God's love, shared with the world. We think of him as our mentor, reminding us we're called to help our neighbors.
All the medicinal herbs in our products are grown right here on the homestead or foraged within 5 miles of here. It's the Jewelweed we need to forage. It grows around ponds and streams, which alas, we don't have on the farm.
