Escarpment Gardens

When traveling on Airport Rd. (County Rd. 42) South of Stayner at Cashtown Corners stop in at The Stand Farm Market. Find local produce, baked goods, locally grown herbal tea and more. You will be happy you did!
The Stand

Here's a few things that we've started this season with saved seeds. I'm particularly happy to see the Tea (Camellia sinensis) seeds vigorously growing after losing half of our Tea trees two Winters' ago. Live & Learn!
Other things in the works which I will post pictures of soon are:
~ The new Tea House at the farm for herbal tea processing. The drying room is generally ready to use now.
~ The no-till, meadow gardens are looking nice with the new, upper garden being expanded.
Farm (near Owen Sound) visits are available on Sundays and Mondays right now. Feel free to visit and/or participate in the good work. ✌️❤️🍵🌳

Seen here are some saffron (Crocus sativus) bulbs that were planted last autumn as an experiment to see how they would over-winter. The bulbs sent vigorous shoots up pretty quickly before being covered in a heavy mulch before Winter. This Spring the mulch has been pulled back to reveal beautiful, healthy plants. They will go dormant during the Summer heat and should hopefully flower in the fall.

If you are looking for amazing local honey, innovative honey products & gifts find it in Mulmur. Check out their online store where you can also find some herbal teas from Escarpment Gardens!
Ontario Honey Creations apiary also provides hands-on on bee keeping experiences where you can experience what it's like taking care of bees and bottling honey!
