Herb-infused olive oils & vinegars; fresh & dried herbs; herb & plant seedlings; herbal soaps, salves, salts, & lip balms About Us Hello! We're Tim & Jocelyn, the Pickle Creek Farmers. We like to think of ourselves as Farmerteurs, or Farmer-Entrepreneurs. About 15 years ago, we gave up our Chicagoland chemistry jobs to do the crazy and near impossible: Thrive on a 100-acre family farm. Today we are the proud owners of Pickle Creek Herbs, a state-certified commercial kitchen, and Green Heritage Farms, a small certified organic herb farm in Southeast Iowa. We grow herbs, berries, tomatoes, and garlic that we then use to create herb-infused olive oils and vinegars, soaps, salves, and lip balms. We take the process from seed to store and make everything ourselves using original recipes perfected over the years. And yes! You can taste the difference! On our Web site you’ll read that our mission is to show how amazing herbs can be when they’re grown by passionate farmers who love their plants, their community, and their soil. We also have another, kind of save-the-world mission: To demonstrate how the small sustainable farm can thrive in today’s modern industrial world. We intend to do this through care and respect for the land, the community, and the consumer, and we hope this shines through in everything we do. After all, in the end we are no more than what we have given to others. Passion for life and respect for the land that sustains it: Above all, that’s what we hope to give.

Basil Seedling, Cinnamon variety
4 4 x 4 inch pots available. Order number of 4 x 4 inch pots.
Basils are loaded with volatile oils, responsible for the heady aroma and strong flavor so essential to cooking. The composition of oils varies greatly in different basil types, thus accounting for the wide range of scents available. Cinnamon basil has a strong cinnamon scent. Pick the leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use basil in the garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and tomato hornworms.

Chervil Seedling
3 4 x 4 inch pots available. Order number of 4 x 4 inch pots.
Chervil, or French parsley, is one of the four traditional French fines herbes (along with tarragon, chives, and parsley). The delicately flavored fines herbes are used to season salads, sauces, and soups and are added last minute to dishes featuring poultry, seafood, eggs, and young spring vegetables. Chervil is more delicate than parsley and brings in hints of licorice and anise. Chervil has had various uses in folk medicine, most famously as a way to aid digestion. Chervil is an annual that can grow 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide. It is like cilantro in that it is a cool-season quick grower that rapidly goes to seed (bolts). To prevent bolting, plant chervil in a cool and moist location in early spring and late fall, and harvest the leaves regularly.
