Much publicity and many articles were generated during the years of Bill Varney's tenure as founder and previous owner of the Fredericksburg Herb Farm — we would like to share some of them with you here . . .
The Varneys use organic, sustainable approaches to make their simple, natural products. A visit to Fredericksburg would not be complete without a stop at the Varney's enchanting and inspiring farm (with its limestone farmhouse built in 1882), but now you can Fredericksburg Herb Farm label at all seven Central Markets. (Selection varies from store to store.)
Rancho Eslabon California Orange Jelly. Perfected from a family recipe, this tasty jelly captures the sweetness of California oranges without the bitterness of the rind that you would expect with marmalades.
Vinegars. Unique and delicious combinations of vinegars infused with herbs. Visually stunning and packaged in glass etched bottles. Make great gifts.
Edible Flower Preserves. A crisp white-grape jelly enhanced by a delicate petal bouquet. Provides a special touch to both sweet and savory dishes.
Spicy Peach Chutney. Mysteriously dark and aromatic, this chutney is a natural structure of sweet and tangy flavor blended with chunky fruit. An elegant partner for grilled meats, pork, ham and poultry.
Mustards. These gourmet mustards are silky-smooth, delicately sweet, tangy and herbaceous.
Honeys. Whole herbs, flowers and pure essential oils infuse this Texas honey.
Herb Vinegars. Give new flavors to any stew, vegetable, soup, marinade, sauce or salad dressing – anything that normally calls for vinegar.
