Hi-On-A Hill Herb Farm & Gardens is a small seventh generation family farm specializing in herbs and land/wildlife conservation management. Within the borders of quaint fences, bedrock and glacial boulders are herbal theme gardens, a water garden and the herb/potting shed. In the shed are herbs drying from the rafters and a variety of herbal and "dried everlastings" arrangements. Herb plants are available for purchase May through September. Classes are offered in dried herb arrangement making beginning in autumn.

Beyond the herb garden borders are various educational and small fruit and vegetable gardens. In a landscape reminiscent of past glacial activity, gardens are encouraged using organic and natural methods. These include blueberries, strawberries and a variety of summer vegetables.

Family members work on this farmland along with the many bees that belong to Celestial Offerings, Inc., an apiary looated in the privacy of a woodland opening. These honey bees busily travel to and fro in a 1 1/2 mile radius of the farm collecting pollen and nectar for their hive. Honey produced by these bees is available for purchase at the farm. Educational programs about bees and beekeeping are offered on the farm or at off-site locations. Normand Peloquin, Celestial Offerings, Inc., Educational Division.
