Root and Seed Farm LLC

Root and Seed Farm LLC Rooted in a passion for growing plants and people Root and Seed urban farm is run by Jordan and Justin Walsh. We live in a time where so much is disposable.

Their love of plants brought them together and in 2024, they decided to bring their dreams to life. This dynamic duo has over 18 years of combined horticultural experience and after many years in the industry, it was time to branch out on their own adventure and make Root and Seed urban farm a reality. Jordan's herbal meditation candles, soaps and self care products are lovingly made from many of

the herbs and plants the couple grow on the farm. In Jordan's words, "Every plant has something to say. The land they come from carries messages of healing. My goal is to tap into the gifts that the land has to offer and showcase them in every product. I want my customers to leave with a product that is also a tool for self discovery; offers food for thought and something that artistically tips the hat to the land the product came from. Most products today are mined, used-up, then thrown away or forgotten. How different would the world be if the products we consumed were functional, high quality, nourished our minds, and connected us to the very land that sustains us? The goal of my art is to leave one finding pieces of themselves within the land. We care for what we connect with, and this is paramount in a time where so much of our farmland and natural ecosystems are disappearing." From the owners:
"Root and Seed Farm was born out of a love for all things green. From the time we met, we dreamed of starting an urban homestead/farm to share our love of plants, nature and lovingly crafted goods with our local community. Our farming and production practices are rooted in the three ethics of permaculture; earth care, people care and fair share. We create safe, healthy products that reunite our customers with the land. We believe in growing not just plants, but the community and people around us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR! As most of you know, this was our very first year in business and in January, root and seed farm will officially be 1 year old! Looking back, 2024 was one heck of an adventure for us.We are looking forward to many exciting things in 2025.

To kick off the new year, we have a tradition in our house of lighting a bayberry candle on new years eve and letting it burn through midnight. There is an old saying that goes , "a bayberry candle burned down to the socket brings health to the home and wealth to the pocket." Justin happened to finish this lovely candle holder today, so we now have our new year's candle burning in it right now. We wish you all the best in 2025, and will see you all in the new year!

And so begins our crop planning for 2025. Very exciting stuff over here sitting in front of an Excell sheet 😂. Right now we are just trying to get a rough estimate of how many plants we will need in order to yield enough for each category of our products for the coming season. So far we are at 32 different crops not including potted nursery stock. As you can probably tell we have some serious biodiversity going on here which is great for the wildlife and other critters that call our little patch of land home. The only hard part is juggling crop rotations, growing requirements for each type of plant, factoring in potential crop losses etc when we have less than 1/3 acre to work with. Somehow we will get it all figured out! FYI, if there are any products you would like to see in the spring that we didn't have this year, feel free to reach out and we will see what we can do! We are always open to feedback.

Come stop by today at 150 Nevers road in South Windsor CT at the community center. There is a HUGE craft fair going on today. Lots of jewelry, baked goods, quilts, pet toys, and of course all of our herbal soaps, candles, pressed flower jewelry, and hand forged items. Unless we end up finding another last minute venue, this will likely be the last market of 2024, so if you need to catch us before the end of the year, now is your chance. 😊

Justin has been busy forging these fantastic hair sticks and barrettes and I absolutely love them. I've got super thick, straight, waist length hair that is often impossible to keep up in a bun without it falling down in 5 minutes. The hair sticks keep my hair up all day without coming undone. They are a game changer for long hair. Come check them out.

I absolutely love this candle, especially during the winter. This is our home blessing candle that is dressed with rose, pink salt, frankincense and mhyr. The rose and pink salt represent love and protection, while the frankincense and mhyr represent precious gifts, reminding us of how special our home and families are. 🩷 This candle is scented with cinnamon and brings to mind the warmth of holiday memories in a place called home. The intention on the back label just ties it all together. Currently burning this candle in our kitchen as we go about our day. Wishing all of you a blessed holiday season full of love and warmth.

We will now have a small number of one of a kind flower petal earrings at our next few markets! I've got about 12 sets made so far. As is the case with our necklaces, the metal is all stainless steel which will not tarnish or rust. It also won't turn your skin green like those mood rings from the 2000's 😉. These would make excellent gifts for the holidays. Give your loved ones something as unique and special as they are while supporting our small business. 🩷

OK, so our All-in-one herbal soap has been very popular and I am wipping up one final batch for 2024! All the ingredients are weighed out and in the pot. Now to do a warm infusion of these herbs in the oils before making them into soap! This particular soap contains a bunch of herbs that are known for supporting healthy skin. If youve got skin that is easily upset by synthetic soaps, give this soap a try. This soap is choc full of calendula, plantain leaf, turmeric and oatmeal. As you can see from the picture, we use A LOT Of plant material in this soap. 20 bars has about a cup of powdered herbs in it which has had all the water removed, so it is highly concentrated. We infuse the herb blend into the oil and then leave the herb in the soap without straining them out. Why? Well, some active compounds in the plant are better extracted in oil, hence the warm infusion, and some are better extracted in water. By doing an oil infusion and leaving the plant material in the soap to be activated by water when you use the soap, we aren't leaving out any plant compounds from the party.
