Three bunches of approximately 20 dried lavender stems per bundle, totaling 60 stems per package. These lavender wands are 18 to 20 inches long. At Mariquita Farm we do not use fungicides, pesticides or insecticides on our herbal, floral or vegetable crops. That's "NO" as in "none." All fertilizers are naturally derived from cover crops or from OMRI approved brands of organic fertilizers. Special price $20 per 60 stem package.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" -- this collection includes Greek Laurel (10 leaves), Rosemary (8g) and Marjoram (10g). The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.

Beautiful large mixed greens wreaths from Rancho Elias (our neighbor). About 22 inches across.

Yuzu is a knobby-skinned citrus fruit, with a floral aroma and tangy tart flavor. According to an article in the The New Yorker, "Yuzu is thought to have originated in China, but the fruit is most closely identified with Japan, where it is one of the nation’s essential aromas and flavors. It’s a key ingredient in ponzu sauce, the tangy blend of yuzu juice and soy sauce that often accompanies cold noodles or fried pork cutlets. It also lends zing to highballs, seasons potato chips, and is a favorite flavor for candy." It can also be 'staggeringly expensive' in some areas (like NYC) at $15 to $20 per pound. We are offering it for $20 per five pound bag.

Cured yellow onions of mixed sizes, medium to large -- a kitchen staple, and the start of soups, stews and so many other dishes. $18 per ten pound bag.
