This blog / email is dedicated to the Rt. 10 Organic Nursery
/ Farm Tour.
What is so cool about this event?
Well it began over 4 years ago when I was starting my
business and found out about Sugarbush Nursery and King’s Herb Nook. It turns out that we are 3 women who
started businesses in about the same year on the same road equidistant
apart. And our businesses are very
complimentary.
Living in this area for a while I thought you would have to
go to Bucks County or a suburb of Philadelphia to find such cool places and
ideas. But here I was right smack
in the middle of it.
So Anne-Marie, from Sugarbush, and I decided that we should
have an event to let our little secret out to the surrounding public. We would host a free tour / lecture of
each of our farms and what we do. If you visit all 3 locations you have a chance to win a gift
certificate to one of the businesses.
So each year around the end of August beginning of September
we host the Rt. 10 Organic Nursery and Farm Tour.
This year Sugarbush Nursery (http://www.sugarbushnursery.com/) will be speaking about Native Edible
Plants in your landscapes. King’s
Herb Nook (http://agmap.psu.edu/Businesses/4084/Images/)will be giving a wild herb walk. If you have not been to King’s then you are really missing
out. The trail around the property
transports you to another land.
You will not remember you are on Rt 10. And we, B & H (http://www.bhorganicproduce.com/), will be revealing our fertilizing
secrets. But, we are not soil
scientists so we will not be able to advise you on your gardens. We can just tell you of our experience
and give you a little pre – K education on soil chemistry.
Tickets for the event are free and can be picked up at any
location. You will need tickets to
receive discounts. If you have
your ticket stamped at all 3 locations your ticket will be added to a drawing
for a $25.00 gift certificate to any of our locations including Wyebrook Farm (http://wyebrookfarm.com/). You must leave your ticket with 3
stamps at your last location.
The new addition to the tour this year is Wyebrook
Farm. Wyebrook is not located on
Rt. 10 but is close by and an amazing way to end the day. Wyebrook has a café featuring their
meats and local produce. And
Saturdays from 2 – 5 pm they offer free music in with amazing scenery.
This is an event you won’t want to miss!
