A review from happy customer Harriet O: "I give her produce 5 stars!"
November: Salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cooking herbs, loofah sponges, house plants, decorated grapevine wreaths, local honey, Flying Dragon Citrus marmalade, and more.
We decorate our homegrown muscadine vine wreaths with ribbons and all kinds of natural materials from the farm including dried flowers, herbs, seeds and seed pods, berries, evergreen boughs, and feathers. We take custom orders! Contact us to make a request.
We recently made a couple double batches of one of Ancient Spring Farm's unique offerings: Flying Dragon Citrus marmalade!
Four years ago, we discovered flying dragon citrus growing on the farm. Also called trifoliate orange and bitter orange, it's the hardiest kind of citrus and was brought to the U.S. as root stock for other citrus. While the latter died out, the former remained and grows wild in many areas. The golf ball-sized fruit is uniquely fuzzy and tastes citrus-y but also different from any other citrus. Each small fruit contains at least 15 seeds and the skin is extremely sticky when cut so processing the fruit for marmalade is quite a chore (and leaves a lasting impression on all equipment!).
The resulting product is an English-style marmalade that's more on the bitter side than the sweet side, with a rich, spiced flavor due to the unique fruit and its slight caramelization during cooking. $6 for a half-pint jar and $12 for a pint jar.
December: Salad greens, beets, tea blends, herb sachets, decorative greenery, loofah sponges, house plants, decorated grapevine wreaths, local honey, Flying Dragon Citrus marmalade, and more.
Fainting Goats
As adorable as they are, we can't keep all of the fainting goats (myotonic goats) that are born here. We ideally want you to purchase them as breeders, pets, or companions for other animals, although they're also excellent meat goats. We've sold all of our available 2025 kids...but in November we bred all four does again so hopefully we'll have some great kids available in spring 2026. Check back here starting in April to see who's been born!
