I operate a small greenhouse business from my home, Northern Tropics Greenhouse, 1501 East Fuson Road, Muncie, IN 47302. I'm a mother of four, a master gardener-- and a vendor at the Minnetrista Farmers Market. I operate a roadside stand at the greenhouse in addition to selling at the market.
I love to grow and cook with heirloom tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies that I grow, I grow some awesome gourmet lettuce for personal use, and sell a little occasionally.
My favorite things to cook
Anything using heirloom tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, garlic, onions, and tomatillos. I haven't purchased onions, garlic, or tomato products from a store in years. I can and freeze all my own veggies for winter use.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Canning, cooking breakfast on Saturday mornings in the winter time.
Growing lettuce in the greenhouse and eating it in the winter.
My cooking triumphs
My daughters graduation cake turned out great!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to mention, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. You can always try again!!!
