Annie's Gardens & Greens "GreenGrocery"

Your Local Food Connection!

We're Open! New Hours!
My Calmar location is located at 117 E. Main.

We are open:

• Thursday's 12 to 6 pm

• Friday's 9 am to 6 pm

• Saturday's 9 am to 2 pm.

Annie's has fresh vegetables and fruits grown in Iowa when in season year round.  "GreenGrocery" is not a fully stocked grocery store.  You could think of it as an outlet for the surplus of what is left from our CSA shares and then some.

Besides fresh vegetables and fruits, the store carries milk, butter, cheese, organic eggs, individually wrapped frozen meats, fresh bread, native wines, herbal blends, herbal dips, herb teas, pop corn, spiced nuts, baked goods, honey, and sorghum all in 177 square feet! 

This is also our CSA drop site for our Community Shared Agriculture in the Calmar area every Friday.

Children’s Summer Gardening Workshops

Check out our 2010 schedule of children's workshops.

        New this Year, Mommy and Me class!

All children love to dig in the dirt, are curious and learn by doing.  What better way to teach a child about environmental awareness than by exploring the workings of nature.  As children work in the garden they can experience the satisfaction one gets from taking care of something over time and observe the cycle of life first hand.

2010’s Herb of the Year!

Dill

Dill is a member of the parsley family and is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia.  This herb was mentioned in writings as far back as 3000 B.C. in Egyptian medical texts.  The word dill comes from the old Norse word dylla or dilla which means to soothe or lull. 

Dill is most always associated with pickles or seafood.  The plant is an annual and grows to about 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall.   The leaves are feathery and produces more than one stalk.  The stalks will then bear flat terminal umbels with numerous yellow flowers, which then will produce very pungent seeds.  These seed heads are then used in making pickles.  Dill weed is the dried leaves of the plant.  The whole plant is aromatic.
