Welcome to our teaching garden!

Have you dreamed of being able to grow your own food and herbs? Would you like to break out of the “system” but just aren’t sure how? The My Raggedy Herbs farm is here to help!  Years ago, we realized that we didn’t want to continue eating what the traditional American diet was serving so we set out to grow our own and it changed our lives!

Join us as we share with you our garden produce, farm fresh eggs, herbal teas and preparations and goodies from our kitchen. Let us encourage you on how to build your own backyard kitchen garden and begin to take control of your health and life.

Some of my favorite things!
