Solstice Farm

Solstice Farm
Come see what's new at Farmhouse Wares

This chalky white farmhouse pitcher is inspired by Paris flea market finds. The slender design of this French Pitcher lends vintage style, while its weathered, chipped paint finish gives it a time-worn quality.

You know summer is in full swing when the coreopsis is in bloom. These daisy-like blossoms create a relaxed wildflower style bouquet, as if they have just been plucked from a countryside meadow. This sweet White Coreopsis Bouquet features eight stems with faux creamy white flowers and greens that have a dusty-grey/green appearance

With a beautiful turned wood base and a galvanized tin top, this set of two candle holders bring a warm, rustic feel to your mantle, table or dresser. Our Tin and Wood Pillar Candle Holder, Set of two creates farmhouse style and ambiance in any room.

The Great Garlic Scape

The summer solstice is right around the corner, which means the garlic in the garden is ready to give us a little preview. Here come the garlic scapes! For the next week, maybe two, each garlic plant will produce a single flower stalk, which begins as a tender, green shoot, and grows long and curly. If picked before the stalk gets tough, scapes are a delicacy, with a milder garlic taste than the bulbs. Gardeners need to clip the scapes off to keep energy going to the bulb anyway, so the dozens of dishes we can make with the scapes—pastas, salads, omelets, soups—is a huge bonus. And if you're not growing garlic in your garden (maybe you will now!) you can usually find scapes in farmers' markets seasonally.
