Unsung Heroes of Our Local Plant World

For an overview of what this is all about, a good place to start is the About Page.


Even though we have lots of amazing plants growing at Perma Farms, we have highlighted a few that have given us unique perspective and that we think deserve special recognition. And while we would encourage you to learn about and to incorporate these edibles into your lives, we do not consider ourselves any type of expert, rather we are a family caught up in the love of learning. So please make sure you have done your homework before you put anything into your mouth. This goes for wild foods as well as the more dangerous processed foods.
