Our Grower’s News:
WELCOME…Pennie’s Delights:
I have been making Homemade Sweets and Treats for over 20 plus years, I had the pleasure of sharing my baked good with family and friends. I started while I was in grade school, and it has always been my passion. But now I would love to share them with everyone I come in contact with. I am single mother with 2 grown kids, now that they are grown, I would love to focus on my business I have always wanted..
WELCOME….Sweet Beets Farm: we are a small family farm that believes in clean food, healing the land and supporting the community. Our plants/soil enjoy worm and tea composts, no tilling, crop rotation, and intercropping. We do not use any artificial chemicals to fertilize the soil nor to manage pests. This is a labor intensive method, intended to heal the soil, while also growing nutrient-dense food. These along with some of our other farming practices are commonly referred to as regenerative farming.
Another aspect of regenerative farming, is having diversity within the garden beds. This is intended to reduce the impact of garden pests.
We like variety in our cooking and to taste the flavors from around the world on our plates. No surprise that the gardens grow just those things, full of variety.
We also have Sweet Beets Naturals
Using natural materials, we handcraft beautiful and playful pieces, meant to inspire happiness and appreciation for life. Ropes and jump ropes are custom orders allow 1-6 weeks for custom orders
