large number of contributing photographers? If it wasn’t for their ability to capture the essence of the seasons we wouldn’t have the pictures you see now. Thanks to Anne, Joe, Marilyn, Maggie, Mary and Greg and all of the other shutterbugs that have contributed over the years.

About The Salem Herbfarm
Joe and Anne Duncan invite you to visit the Salem Herbfarm, nestled in the town of Salem,
Connecticut. The farm is a labor of love and a continuation of family history. The Herbfarm is located on land once owned and farmed by Anne's grandparents Alice and Edward Mitchell. Today Anne and Joe and their knowledgeable, dedicated, staff, strive to offer Herbfarm visitors a chance to experience shopping in an old-fashioned, traditional environment harkening back to the days before super stores. At the Herbfarm feel free to walk the gardens and grounds, take your time in our antique barn stocked with gifts and gourmet foods, stroll over to visit the llamas and don't hesitate to ask questions about any and every type of herb, annual or perennial we offer. We strive to give you personal service and advice the old fashoned way.

The Herb of the Year for 2012: Rose
Rose is a perennial of the genus Rosa, which is part of the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 different species of rose and can take the form of climbing or trailing plants or erect shrubs. Roses come in many colors such as white, pink, yellow, black and red. Most species are native to Asia; however European, North American and African varieties can also be found. The name rose originates from the Latin rosa which in turn comes from the Greek rhodon. Roses, prized for their beauty and fragrance have been cultivated since ancient times. Check out our shrubs page for a listing of some of the roses we have carried.
Back in 1995, the International Herb Association (IHA) began selecting the Herb of the Year. For more information on the Herbs of the Year as well as a look back at previous years' selections please check out our Herb page.
