I have been loving gardening recently and even more the importance of learning to grow our own…read morefoods. I have alot of respect for people who can do that. Plus its fun!
4Roots Farm came across my IG feed and immediately, yes, had to visit. It is located on John Young Pkwy, off of E. Colonial Dr. There is plenty of parking.
It is so pretty. As soon as you drive up you can see all the different types of flowers planted and growing along the driveway. Zinnias, dahlias, sunflowers & marigolds. As you walk up towards the vendors there are many more flowers, herbs and trees planted.
There are flower, juice, tea, mango vendorsand the farm stand outside. The farm stand has lettuce! So happy to see lettuce. Peppers of every kind, mellow star shishito, poblano, cubanelle, jalapeño. There were not much tomatoes. But there was squash, ginger, potatoes, a variety of mushrooms, okra & green beans.
Inside, in there class rooms there are food vendors, sweet things like marshmallow treats, jams, honey, spices, sourdough bread. They have jewelry & other knick knacks.
They hold classes where they teach gardening & eating anti-inflammatory, creating moss balls.
I was gifted a chocolate mint plant and a giant branch of Hawaiian Molokai purple sweet potato to plant.
It's a pretty place to wonder & wander.
