Farm-to-Table Scouting: Our Recent Finds!

​We love keeping an eye on what our fellow farmers are up to, so when we heard our friends at Silo City Farms were bringing their popcorn to a new spot in Marcellus, we had to go check it out!

​Exploring new local markets is one of our favorite things to do. We ended up discovering Terrill's Market right on Main Street in downtown Marcellus—it's a gem! We were incredibly impressed by the selection in their fresh meat case and couldn't resist stocking up on:

​Ground Beef

Ground Brisket with Bacon (The ultimate burger blend!)

​Two varieties of Brats

​Pork Steak

​Of course, no trip in that direction is complete without stopping by Jake's Country Meats. We made a quick stop to their meat shed (and got to chat with Lou Ann) to grab some Smoked Pork Chops for dinner tonight.

​Why we love supporting other local shops:

​When you shop at places like Terrill's or visit producers like Jake's, you aren't just buying groceries—you’re strengthening the local food web. Every purchase keeps our region vibrant and ensures that high-quality, ethically raised meat and local goods stay accessible to our community.

Happy Solstice from Nelson's Herbs and Farm Market! ☀️🌱

​We are celebrating the longest day of the year and the peak of the sun's powerful energy! As you can see in this photo of Field Plot 1, our crops are drinking in that magnificent summer light. 🌿✨

​That abundant sunlight doesn't just make our plants look beautiful; it's the engine powering their growth, helping them create the rich nutrient profiles that define "local, nutrient-dense food." Our healthy soil acts like a sponge, translating that solar energy into vitamins, minerals, and flavor in every bite. When you eat local, you are literally consuming a piece of our local summer sunshine. 🥗

​Swing by and harvest some of that vibrant energy for your table! The silver refrigerator is full of Lettuce and Kale Mixes, and the produce bench has asparagus, garlic scapes, broccoli, and Kohlrabi. Let's make this summer the most nourishing one yet.

How are you celebrating the peak of light?

We just returned from the Goshen Farmers' Market with a special delivery, and we couldn't wait to share it with you!

​We’ve teamed up with our friends at Elevation Produce LLC to bring some fantastic new seasonal staples to the farm shop. We are now fully stocked with crisp Broccoli Heads and fresh, crunchy Kohlrabi.

​Why we’re sourcing from Elevation Produce

​You might be wondering, "Why doesn't Nelson's Herbs grow these?" The truth is, we have a very determined group of groundhogs that think our broccoli and kohlrabi are exclusively for them!

​To make sure you still have access to these nutrient-dense staples, we turned to Ric at Elevation Produce. We chose to partner with him because he is a fantastic grower who shares our exact philosophy: growing in living soil without the use of synthetic chemicals. When you pick these up at our shop, you’re getting the same high-quality, clean standards you expect from us, grown by a trusted local partner.

​🥦 Why these are "must-haves" this week:

​Broccoli: A nutritional heavyweight packed with fiber, Vitamin K, and antioxidants. It’s the perfect, versatile vegetable to have on hand for quick roasting or steaming.

​Kohlrabi: The "hidden gem" of the garden! It’s wonderfully crisp, mild, and sweet. You can eat it raw like an apple, grate it into a slaw, or sauté it just like broccoli stems.

​📍 Grab Yours While They Last!

​These are already listed on our Week 3 CSA availability list, which means they are going to fly off the shelves. Stop by the shop this weekend to snag yours before they’re gone!

🌺 Grow Your Own Hibiscus Tea!

​We have some exciting news for your summer garden: Karen has been busy planting out our main crop of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), and we have a handful of surplus plants currently available in the greenhouse!

​Why you should add Roselle to your garden:

​The Ultimate "Tea Garden" Plant: If you love the deep, cranberry-like flavor of Hibiscus tea, you’ll love it even more when it’s fresh from your own backyard. You can harvest the fleshy, red calyces to brew a tea that is packed with Vitamin C and powerful antioxidants.

​Stunning Aesthetics: These aren't just functional plants; they are beautiful, ornamental additions to any landscape. With their striking foliage and gorgeous flowers, they’ll turn heads all season long.

​Heat-Loving: Roselle absolutely thrives in the summer heat. They are the perfect, low-maintenance choice for filling in gaps in your garden that get plenty of sun.

​📍 Pick Up Your Starts Today

​These plants are ready to go in the ground and start soaking up the sun. Come by the greenhouse this weekend to grab yours before they’re all claimed—once they're gone, they're gone for the season!

It has been about 5 or 6 years since I have trimmed back the sage, Salvia officinalis, by the front of the greenhouse. I had to use loppers to get through some of the thick stems. It will be much happier now. There is also a dwarf sage that has moved itself into the walkway. Survival technique. progress ❤️❤️❤️

Fresh from Bennett Farms! We just unloaded a new delivery this morning, so our freezers are fully restocked with some of your most requested favorites.

​If you are looking to level up your mid-week meal prep with clean, high-quality proteins, head straight to the white freezer in the rear of the shop and pick up these essentials:

​🥓 The Protein Restock

​Pasture-Raised Bacon: We’ve replenished our supply, so your weekend breakfasts are officially saved! There is no substitute for the flavor of bacon raised with care on local pasture.

​Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast: These are officially back in stock! Versatile, lean, and incredibly easy to cook, these are the ultimate staple for quick, nutrient-dense weeknight dinners.

​🥗 The Perfect "Mid-Week" Pairing

​These new arrivals are the perfect match for the rest of our fresh harvest. Here is how I’m planning to use them this week:

​Chicken Breast + Field Greens: Thinly slice the chicken over a bowl of our Fresh Lettuce Mix and top it with some shaved garlic scapes and a soft-boiled Jody's Happy Hen egg for a meal that will leave you feeling energized and fueled for the rest of the week.

🌿 The Mid-Week "Farm-Fresh" Reset

​Are you feeling that mid-week hump? We’ve got the perfect remedy. Nothing hits the reset button quite like cooking with food that was vibrant, alive, and in the field just a few hours ago.

​We’ve fully restocked the benches and the silver refrigerator at Nelson's Herbs and Farm Market with the ultimate high-vibe ingredients to get you through to the weekend!

​✨ Fresh from the Fields

​Garlic Scapes: The season's "secret weapon!" If you haven't cooked with these yet, you are in for a treat. They are incredibly versatile—you can sauté them whole like asparagus, blend them into a vibrant pesto, chop them into stir-fries, or even grill them for a smoky, mild garlic flavor that is miles better than the dried stuff.

​Asparagus Bunches: Snappy, tender, and the perfect side for any protein.

​Radish Bundles: Crisp, peppery, and packed with vitality to wake up your palate.

​❄️ From the Silver Refrigerator

​Living Lettuce & Kale Mixes (5-oz. bags): Our field-grown greens are the perfect foundation for a nutrient-dense lunch or dinner.

​Jody’s Happy Hens Eggs: Don't forget your protein! These pasture-raised eggs are the gold standard for a quick, nourishing meal when you're short on time.

​📍 Power Your Week at the Shop

​Stop by the market and grab what you need to make your kitchen feel like a high-end bistro. Eating well is the best way to keep your energy high and your spirits up until Friday!

The farm is buzzing this morning! I’m currently out back harvesting for our Week 2 CSA Baskets, and the aroma is absolutely incredible.

​At Nelson's Herbs and Farm Market, we believe that fresh-cut herbs are the secret ingredient to turning a simple meal into a gourmet experience. Whether you’re a CSA member or stopping by the shop, you can always count on us for the freshest bundles—available in 2-oz. or 5-stem quantities upon request.

​🌿 The Week 2 Harvest: Fresh-Cut Herbs

​We are currently cutting these vibrant, aromatic varieties right outside our back door:

​Rosemary, Oregano, & English Thyme: The classic, nutrient-dense trio for roasting meats and flavoring garden vegetables.

​Lemon & Lime Balm: Perfectly bright and citrusy for teas, summer salads, or infusing water.

​Anise Hyssop: A unique, licorice-scented beauty that is fantastic for both herbal teas and pollinators.

​Sage & French Tarragon: Essential savory additions for your kitchen pantry.

​Farm Note: We have intentionally shifted our focus this year, so we do not have cilantro available this year. Our dill ferns are extremely limited, and our basil is still gaining strength from bring planted last week!

The herbs above are just a sample of herbs that we have in the gardens. Just ask Jason or Karen specifically what is available.

​🥗 The "Early Summer" Produce Bench

​Beyond our herb garden, the fields are yielding some of the season’s best spring treasures, all available now:

​Asparagus: Tender, sweet, and at peak nutritional value.

​Garlic Scapes: The mild, crunchy, seasonal treat that food lovers wait for all year—perfect for pesto or a quick sauté.

​Red Round Radishes: The perfect peppery crunch for your summer salads.
