We love to collaborate with like-minded people and companies—and when the results are as delicious as these five flavors of marmalade, it’s a true win/win. The Chef’s Garden and the Culinary Vegetable Institute partnered with Prospect Jam Company, an artisan marmalade company in Ohio. The result? Delicious jars of goodness that allow you to experience our field production in the sweetest of ways.

Our Marmalade Experience box contains five of our signature marmalades and they make an ideal addition to your pantry and the perfect gift for the foodies in your life. 

Carrot Cake Marmalade

Our Carrot Cake Marmalade offers up a delightful tasting experience with flavor notes of carrot cake. Picture warm baking spices with a hint of citrus. 

Mr. Bob’s Yellow Field Tomato Marmalade

We would only put Mr. Bob’s name on a product that was the absolute best—and that’s exactly how we’d describe this tomato marmalade. You can savor the flavor of sweet yellow tomatoes along with preserved lemon with bay and white balsamic. 

Pepper Marmalade 

Our Pepper Marmalade is deliciously simple, featuring a colorful confetti of sweet peppers that also makes this one a visual treat. Enjoy the marvelous flavor of sweet peppers captured in a jar.

Beet Marmalade

Beet Marmalade made with Heirloom beets with winey, red verjus (produced from pressing unripe grapes) and tart cranberry. 

Regeneratively Farmed Ingredients

Flowerhouse Tea Trio

Edible flowers add extra layers of flavor and aroma to culinary dishes with intriguing variations among them. Our team has chosen their favorite blooms and herbs and combined them with black and green teas to create custom tea blends that allow you to experience these culinary aromas in your afternoon tea! 

The Flowerhouse Tea trio will contain three of our teas, depending on availability.  

Rooibos Tea Fabiaceae 

Enjoy this borderline-creamy specialty tea rooted in its botanical namesake. This luscious tea contains organic African Rooibos along with butterfly pea blooms (the latter grown on our grounds for their vibrant blue infusions)—plus anise hyssop that’s grown for the bees and our teas. Serve this tea warm or iced with a lemon wedge.

 Lamiaceae Green Tea

This handpicked green tea—from the hills just west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province—has been famous since the eighth century. Known for its round and full flavor and uniquely nutty taste, it features a wonderful aroma and pleasant jade color—and is amplified by our own flowers and herbs: anise hyssop, verbena, lemon balm, mint, viola, and dianthus.

Oryza Green Tea

High-grade Japanese green tea (golden hojicha) offers up a deep smoky aroma and round, mild flavor achieved by roasting sencha leaves over charcoal in a porcelain pot. This amazing tea also contains parsnip, brown rice, arare, sencha, Himalayan tartary buckwheat, sorghum, viola, thyme, and salt. 

Malvaceae Black Tea

Savor the amazing aroma of organic Regal Earl Gray in this proprietary tea blend. Containing high mountain estate grown black tea, it’s imbued with Italian Bergamot oil. This flavorful tea contains vegetables, spices, and herbs from our grounds: cranberry hibiscus, roselle hibiscus, cocoa nib, beet, and vanilla.

Rutaceae Black Tea

Picture high mountain black tea seamlessly blended with five types of lemon leaves and two of lemon peel—and then imagine bachelor buttons, cukes with blooms, and lemongrass added to the delectable mix. What you have is our Rutaceae Black Tea.

Sometimes, the simplest combinations are best, triggering marvelous memories of sitting at Grandma’s table as she pulled freshly baked bread from the oven before slathering it with fresh honey. 

Our combination of farm honey and foccasio bread allows you to share this nostalgic experience with people you love—while giving you the freedom to be fully creative with these ingredients. There are no limits! Besides being a wonderful addition to your kitchen, this also makes a perfect gift for friends and family members. 

Farm-Fresh Honey

The bees we tend with love on our grounds are actually the hardest working members of our farm. To support the bees, we maintain more than forty beehives. As they fly around, they—just like people—gravitate to their favorite blooms. This makes the farm fresh honey we offer a truly unique expression of our farm.

Dario’s Focaccia Baking Mix

This dry mix offers up memorable loaves of bread that are a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma. This baking mix allows you to conveniently make a versatile dough that’s perfect to top before and after baking—and the result can be as expressive as your imagination allows you to be.

Expanding the Combo

Our Farm Honey and Foccasio Bread provides all you need for the perfect honey sandwich while also providing a foundation for other variations such as cinnamon toast topped with honey. To add to the experience, consider ordering one or more of our proprietary Flowerhouse Teas; you can see five flavorful options in our Flowerhouse Tea Box.

Recently, the Reel Rundown named the 500 best duos of all time. Top ones include:

• John Lennon and Paul McCartney
• Tom and Jerry
• Batman and Robin

We’d like to toss out another great one: cut honeycomb and creamed honeycomb. Both products are included in our Honeybee Duo. In each, you’ll benefit from the hard work of the honeybees that we tend on our grounds with love—and each is incredibly delicious. 

Cut Honeycomb

We tend more than forty beehives at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, and both our cut comb and creamed honey come from their diligent efforts. With our cut honeycomb, you can serve honey in its natural state, allowing your family and friends to better connect with the world of natural food ingredients, including children. 

Creamed Honey 

Meanwhile, our smooth and silky creamed honey melts in your mouth! The Culinary Vegetable Institute team takes raw honey from our hives and then whips this into its oh-so-ethereal form: elegant, light, and delicious. Spread on toast or cheese, and otherwise use this flavorful product wherever your imagination takes you.

Take the Honey Duo to the Next Level

We’d like to recommend more of our unique products, ones that pair especially well with our Honeybee Duo:

• Dario’s Focaccia Baking Mix: Loaves produced with this baking mix are a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma—and oh-so-delicious when topped with honey.

Enjoy a delectable tasting of The Chef Garden herbs English Mint, Lemon Balm, and Lemon Verbena to craft your own freshly brewed herbal teas or brighten and enhance your tea experience. These are a perfect accompaniment to our Flowerhouse Teas. 

To brew fresh herbal tea, heat water to between 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit, then pour over roughly chopped fresh herbs (we recommend starting with about 1 tbsp chopped, then adjusting to your taste). Add a lid if possible to keep the essential oils from the herbs in the brewing vessel. Allow to steep for 5-10 minutes depending on the desired strength. Strain, then enjoy. 

These herbs also make beautiful cold infusions, roughly chop herbs, then add to room temperature filtered water. Cover. Allow to steep for 12-24 hours, then strain. Cold infusing herbs into water pulls out fewer tannins from the herbs and creates a beautiful, smooth, refreshing tea perfect for a warm summer day. 

Sweeten with a taste of honey.

Health Benefits

English Mint 

Mint tea is a perfect way to finish a meal. Mint helps aid digestion (including symptoms such as indigestion, gas, and bloating) and freshens breath. The scent of the mint tea as you drink it may also help relieve headaches, menstrual cramps, and nasal congestion. Mint tea may help with concentration and focus, and it is caffeine-free so will not disrupt sleep. 

Lemon Balm

Lemon balm tea soothes stress away and helps promote improved mood, a feeling of calm, relaxation, and sleep.

Lemon Verbena

Lemon verbena tea is bright yet soothing containing a number of anti-inflammatory and cell-protecting plant compounds (aka phytonutrients). Lemon verbena tea is delicious after a meal or before bed to help promote restful sleep.

Made in the USA.  

Of all the memorable loaves of bread that have come from the Culinary Vegetable Institute kitchen, no other has been so widely beloved as Dario's Focaccia. It is a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma. Loaves are easy to produce and even easier to consume.

The dry mix contained in this box will make a versatile dough that takes well to topping both prior and post-baking. As a result, it can be as expressive as you are willing to be. It shapes well into rustic batards and stretches beautifully for something closer to ciabatta. It will also work well for pan and wood-fired type pizzas.

Of course, and most easily of all, this dry mix will produce Dario's Focaccia.

Makes two loaves. Recipe included.

Meet Chef Dario

Chef Dario Torres first learned cooking skills from his grandmother who took care of him and his sister until he was fourteen while their parents worked to offer their children a better life. Even though he enjoyed cooking, he wasn't sure he wanted to be a chef. He had dreams of becoming a scientist or an engineer because of his love of science and math until he caught an episode of Master Chef on The Discovery Channel and his whole world was turned upside down.
