We're Here to Help You Grow
We're the kind of folks who think that to live is to learn, and to learn is to live. And to learn and live within a community is where purpose is found. We have been building our knowledge of growing food, and we are eager to share with you what we are learning. Beginning January 17th, we will be holding discussion tours of our little plot of herbs and veggies where we are experimenting with some great varieties and trying out new techniques in production.Just look at this sweet basket of salad greens our kids grew and delivered to the grandparents on Thanksgiving day! It takes only 4 weeks for you to have this sort of home-grown goodness on your own table! Come by early Saturday mornings (8am) or Wednesday afternoons (1pm) to walk the garden with Marvin and learn along with us. Please click here to RSVP for this informal discussion group so we can plan to see you. You can also let us know if a different time slot would work better for this ongoing drop-in group and we can try to accommodate.

GET LOCALLY GROWN WHEAT GRASS
Are you driving to We st Palm Beach to buy your wheat grass? How about getting your grass from a local grower you trust? Marvin is prepared to grow it for you! If you are a regular juicer who has long known the benefits of wheat grass, or if you are just turning over a new leaf of healthful living, why not buy local and save! Trays of wheat grass sell for close to $30 each at the WPB health market. Local health markets only offer cut and bagged grass. Now, you can place an order for your supply and we will grow it for you! We will base pricing on the number of participants, but we feel quite sure it will be less costly than driving to Palm Beach to spend $30! Click here to email us with your interest and type "wheat grass" in the subject line. We will respond once we have a minimum of ten trays ordered. Our plan is to provide you with a continuous supply to meet your wheat grass needs, so in your email let us know how much wheat grass you currently consume so we can plan production accordingly.
To learn more about the benefits of wheat grass, click on the picture above to link a wheat grass blog at the Jucingshack.com.
