Herbs
We are now providing certified organic herbs in bulk imported from Egypt. Norwich Meadows Farm is a direct source of over 50 different herbs that are certified organically grown. We have spent much time with Egyptian farmers who have have a long tradition of growing superior organic crops for thousands of years. The fact that the land has been able to support them for so long is a testament to their knowledge and respect for the earth. For the past few seasons, we have had the pleasure and experience of working with some very knowledgeable Egyptian farmers here in Norwich.
All organic farmers, no matter which country they are from, love and respect the land. It is this personal connection to the land and the satisfaction of helping others that keeps farmers coming back year after year, despite the disappointment and setbacks of floods, droughts, and insects.
Like many small farmers in the United States, many of the Egyptian farmers also live a subsistence life. The major portion of their income is from exports. As farmers, we all have a common interest in supporting each other. By diversifying, we can fill the large void that exists in the selection of certified organic herbs in today’s markets, while at the same time help to support and preserve small farmers worldwide.
