Madison
The main garden supplies many of the
best restaurants in North Florida and
South Georgia with fresh cut herbs,
wild greens and shiitake mushrooms.
But sitting on the porch of the gift
shop in a rocking chair-sipping a
glass of lemonade is
always a favorite.
The Herb Farm has two greenhouses
where you will find over 250 varieties
of organic herbs, perennials, and
vegetable plants for sale. Also located
on the farm are two quaint gift shops
loaded with all sorts of fabulous
herbal treats, gardening supplies,
baskets, terra cotta pots, books,
local pottery and artwork. You can
even buy herbal soap by the inch!
Don’t pass near Madison without
stopping by and experiencing the
magical pleasures of O’Toole’s
Herb Farm.
* We are sad
to announce that
Jim O'Toole (below) passed
in December 07. A genuinely
friendly, approachable man
with a rich intellect yet a
humble disposition will
be missed. "B" remains
a steward of the land.

Breath the air, drink the drink,
Taste the fruit and resign yourself
To the influences of each.
