History and Goals
I started Maggie’s Herbs and
Heirlooms in 1999 after choosing to “retire” from the Information Systems business. For many years I had been trying to start my
own herb, vegetable and flower plants in a rigged up basement settings, with
less than desirable results. A
greenhouse was the solution. My husband
Jim and I put up the greenhouse on our one acre lot in the town of
We now have 10 acres with 3
vegetable plots, dozens of flower beds, over 100 trees and shrubs
planted, 2 barns, 2 greenhouses,
chickens, pigs, 3 cats, a dog and a tractor.
Whew!
The mission of Maggie’s
Herbs and Heirlooms is to supply local gardeners with organically grown herb and
heirloom vegetable plants. In the
process, I hope to educate and learn from other gardeners. Another goal is to turn the business into a
sustainable enterprise. I am working up
the soil in my garden plots to allow me to grow out all of the varieties that I
sell and save the seeds. This will help
to produce plants that do well in our local climate and soil. We are not there yet, but every season gets
us a little closer.
Current Operations
Seeds and plants come
from several sources. I save several varieties
from my own gardens. I have grown my own
gardens and lawn organically for over 25 years.
Seeds of Change has
been selling organic heirloom and open pollinated seed for many years. Their growers are located all over the
country, so the exact location they come from depends on the variety.
Seed Savers Exchange is
located in northern
Richter’s Herbs in Ontario, Canada is my
current source for herb “plugs”. Due to my
limited resources, they get the plants started, and I pot them and get them to
the size suitable for planting out in your garden or pot. They are not certified organic, though many
individual items are, and I purchase them if available. They also offer many varieties of seeds that
I have not been able to find elsewhere in bulk.
In
order to continue offering a couple of varieties, I had to go to other sources
like Burpee and Park Seed, but I was able to find
organic seed from them.
The potting mix is locally produced by Purple
Cow Organics.
I
use fish emulsion fertilizer.
Neem and
insecticidal soap are used as pesticide only when needed. My philosophy is that a healthy plant can
survive most insect and disease problems, so I focus on healthy plants.
