Spring 2020 Medicinal and Culinary Herb Plant Sale is now over. Sign up for Pleasant Valley Botanicals email list to be the first to know about future Pop-Up sales and events!
Big thank you to all the people and business who helped out to make this happen, despite the increased challenges due to the coronavirus. I know that there were some disappointments that pretty much everything was completely sold out with on-line pre-orders. I am truly sorry.
I know it was a change to go to pre-orders. I have always avoided that because I love the general plant sales where people can actually meet the plants, ask questions, and chat with friends while making their purchases. In addition, I know that not everyone is on-line savy (like a customer that came that does not use a computer) and my luddite tendencies support that too :) But in order to help keep it safe this year, it was best to go to the pre-order system to have spacing for organized pickups.
The best way to stay up-to-date with any future sales is to join the mailing list for my (infrequent) e-newsletters. Sign up or reach out with questions under the contacts page.

If you are a farmer or curious about checking out my ordering platform, I selected the open source platform open food network. You can no longer see any items for sale because the order cycle is closed. But you can check out the platform for other farms. It seems user friendly for my scale, and I like their ethics, see some examples below.
Global CommonsEveryone in the community co-creates and shares responsibility for our global commons (the OFN platform, but more generally, the air, water, soils, etc.).
RelationshipsWe realise that the nature of our relationship with our food is at the foundation of our relationship with life itself, and that this relationship reflects the spirit of our existence.
EcosystemsWe support farmers and producers moving towards regenerative forms of agriculture, that (re)build resilient natural systems, taking into account the soil, air, water and biodiversity of our planet.
TransparencyWe believe in transparency, both in the platform we build and the organisation that supports it.
EmpowermentOur project empowers people to create the life they want for themselves; and gives people a real say in their food system.
SubsidiarityProblems are best solved at the lowest appropriate level of subsidiarity.
People FirstWe build a people system. Care and empathy for each other lie at its heart, celebrating solidarity, diversity, inclusivity and tolerance.
Constant EvolutionWe live in a perpetually evolving world, which requires constant adaptation and agility.
Systemic ChangeWe believe in a global transition that addresses the root cause of current ills, not its symptoms.
