We are a therapeutic day school. We have a garden club run by students. We sell Flowers, vegetable plants, fresh vegetables, and herbs.
Our management practices significantly exceed USDA organic standards. Tillage-based agriculture such as conventional industrial farming (and even most organic farms), that optimize for a low “sticker price,” rely on methods that create the need for potent synthetic fertilizers. Repeated tillage not only prevents accumulation of organic matter, but disrupts the entire subsurface ecosystem of microbes, insects, worms, and ground dwelling bees. We farm with hand tools and prioritize soil health to mitigate pest problems without the use of pesticides, hence our slogan: hand grown in living soil. Even beautiful-looking organic produce at the grocery store may not be as nutrient-dense as vegetables are supposed to be. Grocery store vegetables all come from large tillage-based farms — in soil that is barely alive. Our mission at Banford Road Farm is to maximize nutrient-density per acre, and that starts with the soil.
Look for : Lettuce heads, kale, rainbow chard, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplant, beets, carrots, spinach, arugula, zucchini, bok choy, salad turnips, chives, scallions, rosemary, basil, cilantro, parsley, thyme, lavender, dill, tarragon, mint, sage
Banford Road Farm is a regenerative, no-till, human-powered farm. We are laser-focused on soil health and work to maintain ecological balance all across the property. We have one acre of vegetable production carved out inside of eight acres of woods. Lab data drives our soil regeneration through the use of a Haney soil test that verifies that we are in fact increasing subsurface carbon and building organic matter over time.
Bayou Girl Apothecary isn’t just another herbal brand—it’s a rebellion against mass-produced, watered-down wellness. Rooted in the wild and crafted with intention, every tincture, botanical remedy, and natural skincare product is a testament to the power of nature in its purest, most untamed form.
Founded by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, artisan herbalist, and renegade mycologist Katherine Brooks, Bayou Girl Apothecary fuses science, storytelling, and centuries-old folk medicine into small-batch magic. Every ingredient is either wildcrafted, foraged, or organically grown, ensuring not just potency, but a deep, unbreakable connection to the land.
From hidden forest fungi to apothecary blends once whispered about in old Southern kitchens, these aren’t just products—they’re pieces of history, alchemy, and rebellion. This is for the ones who don’t follow the rules. For the wild ones.

She offers a restorative approach to traditional vinyasa flows, and an intuitive touch to a therapeutic massage. Jennifer’s biggest takeaway from being a student and a client, is the importance of prioritizing what feels right for ones body in any given moment. Some days that will mean testing the limits, and other days that will look like choosing gentleness. Jennifer’s ultimate goal is to create a space for every individual to make empowering, nourishing choices on and off their mats!
What is a Knot?
The Taralla, known as the Lemon Knot, originates from the heart of Palermo. Our Nonna Rosa took this family recipe with her when she immigrated to America in the 70s. With the consistency of a scone/cake, this cookie melts in your mouth. Daniela Tereza, Rosa’s daughter, thought, “Why haven’t we tried other knot flavors?” So, Daniela went to the drawing board. With input from our customers, we have made the Lemon, Almond, Strawberries n’ Cream, and Chocolate Hazelnut Knots our staples.
Sweet and Savory Crepes made to order
For the past 3 decades I have been bringing my olive oil to the United States from Greece. Other oils cannot compare to the fruity, buttery and peppery taste of my own Greek oil. There is nothing else like it! My customers know the value of quality olive oil as an important ingredient in their healthy cooking. My Greek olive oil is 100% extra virgin, first cold-press, made from olives grown on trees on my family’s farm in Greece.
