Hello CSA members! Our fifth week We are fortunate to have missed the bulk of the storm. We have a couple of down trees but unlike other farmers in the area who lost whole fields of product, we made out ok! Enjoy the organic yellow beans from Plainville farm and the corn from Warner farms. Both of whom are our sister farms. We are grateful for their efforts! Please check out the new and improved gallery section of our website! Blessings, Ashely Lemon balm, although native to Europe, is grown all over the world. It is grown not only in herb gardens but also in crops for medicine, cosmetics, and furniture polish manufacturing. The plant grows up to 2 feet in height, sometimes higher if not maintained. In the spring and summer, clusters of small, light yellow flowers grow where the leaves meet the stem. The leaves are very deeply wrinkled and range from dark green to yellowish green in color, depending on the soil and climate. If you rub your fingers on these leaves, your fingers will smell tart and sweet, like lemons. The leaves are similar in shape to mint leaves, and come from the same plant family.
