Fat Cat Farm: The Place to Find the Herbs You Need

Isn't this entrance inviting? My real tours of Fat Cat Farm will be in video a bit farther down, but here's an idea of what's ahead. As we enter, we will pass the goats to our right. You will probably hear them before you will see them. Then the restrooms are just a bit farther on. Look ahead and to the left and you will see the herb gardens and a picnic area nestled under the trees. Continue straight ahead past the tasting room and you will find the herb farm. It's long tables are beginning to fill up again with herbs of all kinds.

Fat Cat Farm does not just offer the usual herbs you might find at a regular nursery or large garden center. In those places you will normally find the most common varieties of the most common herbs. You wil be able to come home with a lavender, a sage or two, oregano, curly parsley, flat leaf parsley, dill, basil, chives, thyme, basil, and maybe a couple of others I may have forgotten.

At Fat Cat Farm you will find lots of varieties of lavender, sage, oregano, mints, thyme, basil, scented geraniums, and maybe some I've forgotten. Today I came home with tansy, which I've wanted for years. I got some pink grapefruit yarrow and some bronze fennel. Rhoda Chute, the owner of Fat Cat Farm, also recommended some plants I've never heard of before to meet some of my needs. These were a silver germander and variegated sweet myrtle. I was also able to to get some German chamomile that I needed. I will probably go back in a couple of weeks for some other items when they bloom and I can see what color they are.

Rhoda herself is a treasure. When I go to places like Home Depot and other garden centers, I'm on my own. They have few people who can make recommendations on what will meet your needs. Rhoda knows her stuff and can answer questions even about what she doesn't have yet. She will patiently help you find what you need. She is planning big things for the future of Fat Cat Farm. Once all the herb beds are full again, she plans to move on to providing fresh-cut flowers and newly harvested herbs. She also plans to have heirloom cottage flowers and vegetables and plants you can't get anywhere else.

Just as Sycamore Herb Farm before it, Fat Cat uses organic methods. I know that the plants I buy will not have seen chemicals or poisons. Since I also avoid those things, I am very pleased to buy anything I can there.

Now let's move right into the video tours.
