History:

Stream Cliff Herb Farm is owned by Betty & Gerald Manning. The farm has a long history in Betty's family. Betty's Great-grandfather lived on the farm and it has been passed down through the generations since that time. The gardens, which are done in quilt designs, are dedicated to Betty's grandmother, Luella Tate Artz. She was a quilter and gardener and lived for more than fifty years on the farm.

The farm was raided during the Civil War by Morgan's Raiders and has been in the family for more that 100 years.Their children, who are the fifth generation to live on the farm, are involved in the business as well.
Elizabeth manages Twigs & Sprigs Tearoom, which serves herbal lunches, and afternoon tea garnished with herbs and edible flowers.

Greg is involved in greenhouse management, landscape design, construction, and is very interested in water gardens.Betty and Gerald have lived in the home over 35 years and started Stream Cliff Farm soon after moving there. The business originally began with a small craft shop and gradually the emphasis was placed on herbs and perennials.

Now Stream Cliff Herb Farm consists of: four shops filled with handmade, traditional crafts and garden related items, Twigs & Sprigs Tearoom, Grandmother's Keeping Room: A Nature and Traditional Craft Learning Center, several display gardens with water features, lectures & workshops, and an extensive line of herbs, perennial flowers, old-fashioned roses, wildflowers, hosta, vines and climbers.

We also provide packages for large groups which includes an herbal meal, garden lecture or craft project, and a tour of the gardens.Each year as customers visit our farm it is our goal to provide them with one of the best experiences of any herb farm in the Nation. If you visit or live in our area please come to our farm and enjoy a quiet moment in our garden.
