FROM OUR GARDEN TO YOUR PLATE

We grow our own food. Located on Blackhead Mountain Road {where we live, just 1/2 mile from the restaurant}, our culinary garden spans over one-acre. Using just soil, seeds, sun, and water {sourced from a pond on the property}, we grow everything from seed. Even though Julia’s Local has only been open since the early summer of 2023, we started preparing, plowing, and planting our garden ~ with the help of ‘Tractor Dan’ ~ over four years ago. Crops that take many years to grow and harvest, such as asparagus, can be enjoyed now.

We have large-scale greenhouses filled with only heirloom and sun gold tomatoes. We have rows and rows of different root vegetables and peppers; garlic, garlic, and more garlic; loads of greens, kale, and spinach; berry bushes; inoculated logs for mushrooms; and pockets of mint for our frozen mojitos in the summer and everyday dessert garnishes.

We also have a separate raised-bed garden for growing a wide variety of herbs; nasturtium and other edible flowers; and our beloved ground cherries {also known as husk tomatoes or gooseberries}. And flower arrangements on the dining room tables ~ including dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers ~ come straight from here.

And every inch of our garage is filled with trays of different types of micro-greens, flourishing under grow lamps.

We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor as much as we do!
