Natural Excellence Farm & Gardens Rosemary and John Taipale gardeners throughout their adult years now retired from careers are pleased to bless others with the results of all that has been learned by offering premium quality farm products to our discerning customers. We choose many heirloom varieties of vegetables and base our selections totally upon those with the best flavor. We're not using non-renewable fossil fuels to ship our produce a thousand miles or more so we don't choose shipping varieties. We don't believe our customers will enjoy a 'crunchy' tomato. We are members of OEFFA and follow organic practices as we adhere to these principles, however we have come to realize that since 'Organic' was taken over by the government (USDA), the standards have been watered down.
