Happy Children's day!
The weather this year has been tricky for a simple ourdoor farmer, and so I've decided to make some delectable treats to give you while we wait for plants to do their thing.

I have cold pork pies! They're perfect for a packed lunch or tea-time snack. They're also a huge hit with the kids.

Also, I've had some very happy customers for my biltong. I'll be starting a new batch this weekend, and it should be ready early next week. You can pre-order some, 100g @ 20k won, and yes I'll be making chilli snaps, too!

Finally, if there is anyone who would like me to do some landscaping or to plant a herb garden for them, please let me know. I love to do this kind of work. I'll even w**d your garden, plough the earth, transplant small trees, build stone walls... let me know what you want, and I'll let you know if it's possible.

Harissa

The perfect condiment for all situations. Take your food to the next level.

It goes well with meat, seafood, tofu, eggs. Put it on your sandwiches, tacos or rice dishes or even just on a piece of bread.

It can be used as a marinade or to enhance the flavours of a stew.

You can add it to some yogurt or mayo to make a mean dipping sauce.

dm me if you want some 😁

Have a look at the beautiful basket of fresh, organic, homegrown coriander that went into this batch.

Choco mint, Spearmint and Lemon-balm are dug up and transplanted upon being ordered, because they are growing in the ground. You can also order 100g of any of these for 3000KRW.

There is a minimum of 15 000 KRW per order. The price may vary depending on the size and scarcity of the plants, but the estimates are next to each plant on the list.
You can inbox me with an order, I'll send you an account and photos, and then you can collect it at Miss Park Beauty Salon, which is opposite the recycling centre in the GEC. The address is Gueok-ri 1004 (구억리 1004)

I don't believe in spraying chemicals, so all plants are safe to consume immediately. They may (hopefully not) have a little critter living in or on them because they are raised outside. Of course, I try my best to pick them off, and I inspect every plant that goes out.

New seeds are being sowed today and some are already coming up. Here's what you can look forward to:

Flat leaf (Italian) parsley
Oregano
Hyssop
Sorrel
Yarrow
Sorrel
Chamomile
Chervil
Tarragon

Depending on the harvest, I might have tomatoes and Jalapeños for sale later on as well.
