PLANTS AVAILABLE AT THE FARM ONLY.
NO MAIL ORDER AT THIS TIME!

Sunshine Farm and Garden is a family owned Herb and Dried Flower Farm, set in the middle of some of Michigan's most beautiful park lands. Proud Lake State Recreation Area and Campground are within a mile, and boast lovely picnic, fishing and swimming areas along the Huron River, and hiking trails through woodlands and meadows teeming with wildflowers, animals, and birds. Kensington Metro Park is just minutes west of us and Highland State Recreation Area is minutes north of us. The village of Milford, about 3 miles away, has a charming Main Street with shops and excellent restaurants. Sunshine Farm itself dates back to 1835 and once was a boarding house and dairy farm, with a barn that is over a century old that now houses our beautiful 'SFG' Morgan Horses. The Herb Gardens date back to 1976.

PLANT HOUSES
We specialize in herb plants. We feature the best and hardiest varieties available, plus a huge collection of rare and unusual ones. Our friendly, experienced staff is always on hand to answer your questions. Our greenhouses are inspected and licensed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. We sell retail only. You must pick up and pay for plants at the farm. We accept Visa and Master Card.

DISPLAY GARDENS
Our gardens include Culinary, Dye, Medicinal, and Fragrant Gardens. Bible Plants, Shakespeare's Plants, and more are also featured in separate gardens. We have a rock garden, perennial plantings, small water gardens, and production gardens along with the greenhouses. The gardens are open to the public during our regular business hours.

GARDEN PARTIES
We have garden parties for small groups of up to 30 people that include a guided tour of the gardens, beverage and dessert in the gardens, and a question and answer time with Jean and/or Roxanne. It costs $75.00, and lasts about two hours to three hours. You must make reservations ahead of time. We cannot change the dates, but if the weather is bad we go into the plant houses and herb barn.

BAY, Herb of the Year 2009 Bay trees are not hardy here in Michigan, but well worth growing as a house plant! We carry bay trees that are 2 years old! They are $17.99 per tree and well worth the investment because the taste of fresh bay leaves in all your recipes is superb!!! Click to enlarge.

 

SUNSHINE FARM'S FAVORITE HERB RECIPES PESTO SALAD This is the most popular recipe we have ever printed. We have so many requests for it, we are reprinting it this year. 3 Fresh Ripe Tomatoes 1 Fresh Cucumber, sliced 1 Fresh Green Pepper, and 1 Fresh Sweet Red Pepper, cut into strips Any other fresh vegetables that you like raw - little zucchini, little yellow summer squash, and so on ... 1 Cup Olive Oil 1 Bunch Fresh Basil 1 Clove Garlic 1 Package Cheese Tortellini, cooked and cooled 1/4 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice We always add Pasta (one bag of cheese stuffed tortolleni is really great in this recipe) to the other ingredients, serve it with some hot bread and make it a whole meal. Put the Olive Oil, Basil, Garlic, and Cheese into a blender and blend until chopped fine. Add Lemon Juice and blend well. Pour over fresh vegetables. Enjoy! We understand that this is also good with a nice loaf of bread to pull apart and dip in the sauce.   We have a lot of soup in the colder months. This is one of our favorites. BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP 1 Large Bunch Broccoli, trimmed, cut up, discard tough stalks 2 Cups Red-skin Potatoes, cut up 1/2 Cup cut up Ham or more, as desired 3 Tablespoons Butter 1/2 Large Onion, chopped Flour for Thickening 1 Quart Box or 2 Cans Chicken Broth 2 Cups no-fat half and half 2 Teaspoons Bouquet Garni Seasoning 1 Pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded, plus 2 or 3 slices Swiss Cheese Boil the potatoes and the broccoli until done. In a separate large pan, sauté the onion in the butter. Stir in the flour, and add the chicken broth. Add the Bouquet Garni. Add the cheese and the half and half. Add the ham and the broccoli. Just simmer until the cheese is melted and the soup is hot.   We serve these to rave reviews at our summer Lavender Party. LAVENDER COOKIES 2 Eggs 3 c. Flour 1 c. Butter 2 tsp. Baking Powder 1 1/2 c. Sugar 1 T. Lavender Flowers, crushed 1 tsp. Salt 1 tsp. Vanilla 1 tsp. grated Lemon Rind Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, dry ingredients, and flavorings. Drop a teaspoon at a time on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes at 350° . Makes 5 or 6 dozen.
