WHAT'S FOR SALE onThe Farm? Sweetgrass: Fresh- Dried Harvest beautifully Green, wonderful fragrance! (18-36 inches long.) $5. -- 1 ounce "sample" size $20.--4 ounce $30. --1/2 pound $60. --1 pound Sweetgrass (hierochloe odorata---North American variety) is grown all- natural, with no pesticides or herbicides. It is hand cut, dried straight, especially for basketweaving or other crafts. Length is from 18 to 36 inches long. Drying, and storage, takes place in a dark, dry environment, to maintain the green color. The color will eventually fade with age, and turns to a golden-brown. The vanilla-like scent lasts indefinitely. This is the sweetgrass used by Native American Indians for basketry, and smudging. It is often braided, and burned for its scent in ceremonies. It grows in Europe, and North America, where the people of both continents considered this plant to be sacred. Other species grow many places around the world. Sweetgrass can be coiled, as you would in pine needle basketry. Also can be made into cording, and used in conventional baskets. (a "How-to" Cording instruction sheet available) Sweetgrass: CLEARANCE-PRICED -- while supply lasts!! approximately one year old This is the same sweetgrass as above, just my previous years harvest. It still has the same wonderful scent, but has started to turn the golden- brown color. (Please email for availablity) $15. -- 4 oz. $25. --1/2 pound $40. --1 pound **** Best Deal !!...

Please email for details on planting in your specific area. A planting guide is included with all live plug orders. Most seed from sweetgrass is sterile. Root plugs are the preferred way of starting a plant. Plants will spread one square foot per year. There is no scent to the live, green plant. Dried sweetgrass is fragrant because of its coumarin content, which is rather "vanilla-like". It is extremely winter-hardy, and goes dormant in cold weather. It will re- sprout when temperatures are above 40 degrees. In the Northern states full sun is best. When growing in the South, Midwest, Southwest, and southern California, part - shade is suggested. The plant does need water regularly, but doesn't like water-logged areas. Good drainage is required. It is not suggested to grow in pots or inside. The plant can grow anywhere from 18 inches, up to 36 inches tall. It has an extensive root system, and will spread. It can eventually kill off other native grasses. It must be weeded, at least twice a year. The plants need fertilizer, either organic or other types of balanced fertilizers at least twice a year if you are taking cuttings. How much do you need? Sweetgrass loses approximately 70 % of it weight when dried. A 12 square foot area will yield approx. 1 pound of dried grass. Estimate 1 year after planting plugs for a first cutting.
