Let customers speak for us
We love the variety of produce offered at Rhubarb Botanicals! Great produce, grown responsibly, organically, who could ask for more?!
Just love it!!!
The whole experience was great!
Fresh, fresh and local!!!
Emma was super helpful and answered all my questions. I will be buying from Rhubarb again!
Rhubarb Botanicals' bitters and herbs are the secret ingredient to so many of my culinary experiments. I would be lost without Rhubarb in the kitchen! If you want to instantly add complexity to salad dressings, sauces, cocktails or mocktails, grab a bottle of bitters with complimentary flavors and marvel at how the most ordinary lemonade or spritzer is elevated with the help of Emma & friends.
Lovely Saturday morning at market. We bought a beautiful, sassy bouquet to gift to a loved one. Some Smoking Goose sausage also went home with us. It’s going to make a tasty addition to a charcuterie board.
Excellent customer service and wonderful plants. Thank you!
Rhubarb Botanicals is a place of beauty in every respect...the flowers, the produce, the lamb, meat, spices, teas, snacks, chef prepared food and most of all the people/staff, those who do so much to provide me and everyone who comes to Rhubarb Botanicals, a special, happy, unforgettable experience. Shopping local in every way is greatly appreciated by me and all who come to the market. Thanks for all you do and for all of the happiness and sunshine you give to all of us!☀️💐♥️
I'm very grateful for and to Rhubarb Botanicals. Quality produce and plants. Beauty. Care. Integrity. Thank you!
Opens sinuses after rubbing on chest and neck. Even when not feeling congested it’s a soothing bedtime routine.
Also a great moisturizer in the winter and doesn’t break me out.
Grateful to have local, clean, organic plants and food items. Keep well, stay wild, leave no trace!
The plants are amazing!
I have bought from Rhubarb botanicals several years now.
I have always been pleased with everything I buy.
Rhubarb Botanicals is a great place to shop. The flowers and vegetables are always fresh, and the lamb I got there was delicious.
It was my first visit to your farm (I usually shope your goodies at the IC Farmer's Market!). It was so lovely! I met a friend there and we enjoyed the hibiscus tea and both bought flower bouquets which are still going strong! Loved it - thank you!
