We were Thyme For Ewe for the first 13 years of business. In the beginning I grew herbs for farms and my partner raised sheep. Thyme for me, Ewe for her....you get it. I kept the name when we split up to keep the friendship. We are now Seasons Eatings Farm. We're four season producers.
Changing names was hard. I grow very few herbs now and we've never had a ewe on this farm. We needed something that reflects what we do now. It took me a long time to come up with something that is ridiculously obvious!
