a lazy stroll around the garden that is alive
with butterflies and birds or pause at the
newly completed anniversary garden
for a quiet recharge of your senses.
The herb farm has two greenhouses where
you will find over 250 varieties of organic
herbs, perennials, and vegetable plants for
sale. A number of classes/ events are held
1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th Fridays of each month.
Also located on the farm are two quaint gift
shops with all sorts of herbal treats,
gardening supplies, baskets, terra cotta
pots, books, local pottery and artwork.
You can even buy herbal soap by the inch!
Don’t pass near Madison without
stopping by and experiencing the
magical pleasures of O’Toole’s
Herb Farm.
The main garden supplies many
of the best restaurants in north
Florida and south Georgia with fresh
cut herbs, wild greens and shiitake
mushrooms. But sitting on the porch
of the gift shop in a rocking chair
sipping a glass of lemonade is
always a favorite.
Through organic farming methods
O'Tooles provides a stewardship
with the land that goes back five
generations. It is a philosophy
based upon growing a quality
product that is nutritious and
delicious, replenishing and
maintaining the soil’s fertility
while assisting nature’s balance.
No synthetic pesticides or
chemical fertilizers are used.
Jim O'Toole passed in
December 07. A friendly,
approachable man with a
rich intellect, yet a humble
disposition will be missed.
"B" remains a steward
of the land.
