Follow us through the year as we share what’s happening at Gaia Farm.
Planting Valerian
April 24th, 2010
Check out these photos of today’s planting of Valerian! These precious plants have moved from greenhouse to hoop frames to outside tempering to now, their final journey to the field. Our amazing Farm Stewards gather at the field edges with trays full of tiny plants. They ready themselves on the custom planting rigs that take up to 4 of them, powered by tractor, across the fields. Dozens of hundred-yard rows are filled with plants in precisely the right place. Valerian from Gaia Herbs farm is used in our Valerian Liquid Phyto-caps-, our Valerian Root Liquid Extract, and custom formulas Migraprofen- and Sound Sleep
