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.

Chive plants are some of the easiest herbs to grow. They can be grown in pots, in the ground, in sun or mostly shade. They are part of the onion family but they do not form a bulb like garlic or even green onions do. They stay slender and fine and have a nice mild flavor which can easily be used in cooking. Use chives with cheeses, dips, salad dressings, potato salads, pasta salads, chicken and tuna salads, stuffed eggs and quiches, or on baked potatoes.

Cilantro is an herb that is commonly found in Mexican and Tex-Mex or South Western dishes. It has a strong, distinctive flavor that is quite unmistakable. The seeds of the cilantro plant are also used to season food, and are called coriander. Try adding chopped, fresh cilantro to commercially prepared salsa. You won't believe the difference! Cilantro also perks up a salad in a hurry!

Buchii Pinnata is a Lavandula variety that is widely used for its aroma and visual appeal. Also known as Jagged lavender, it has a unique loose upright growth with gray feathery leaves that are twice dissected (bipinnate). It grows big and tall for a lavender plant; however, it is not winter hardy here in Iowa, so you'll have to bring it indoors to keep it alive over the winter or replant each year. But it is beautiful!

Grosso Lavender is potentially the most planted and cultivated lavender in the world. This classic lavandula is a cross between the English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and a Portuguese lavender known as spike or broadleaf lavender (Lavandula latifolia). The result is a beautiful, vigorous grower and heavy midsummer bloomer. The flowers are dark violet and very fragrant. All of this makes it a very popular variety for culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal uses. It is a hardier variety that is tolerant to zone 5 (Iowa) and is well-liked among gardeners.
