November: Decorative bird house and speckled swan gourds (currently drying), arugula, kale, pasture-raised eggs, tea herbs, flying dragon citrus marmalade, and pennyroyal sachets
Flying dragon citrus (also called trifoliate orange and hardy orange) is the most cold-hardy of cultivated orange trees. It's not native to NC but it has become wild in many places, including the farm and our friends' farm. Its fresh smell and flavor are unique, hard to describe, and intoxicating (great for cocktails but not really for eating). The fruit makes a British-style marmalade whose flavor is richer, spicier, and more sour/bitter than sweet orange marmalade. Most people who've tried our marmalade can't get enough of it! In addition to toast, it pairs particularly well with cheese, pork, and venison. We've sold out of half pints but have some pints left for sale.
December: Evergreen boughs, native Christmas trees, decorative bird house and speckled swan gourds (currently drying), arugula, kale, pasture-raised eggs, tea herbs, flying dragon citrus marmalade, and pennyroyal sachets
