The Root Plate Method

When you cook with ramps, the root plate gets tossed. But that "waste" can grow a whole new plant. We're studying this with Penn State — and teaching everyone how to do it.

1

Harvest & Enjoy

Cook with the leaves and bulb. Keep ¼"–½" above the roots.

2

Plant the Root Plate

Push 2" into moist forest soil. Cover with leaf litter.

3

Wait & Watch

In 1–2 seasons, new leaves emerge. In 4–5 years: flowers and seeds.

Our Story

Where the Wild
Things Grow

"12 acres of forest. A family of six. One very opinionated tortoise."
We acquired this land against all odds — and found a secret growing beneath the canopy.

JunXion Farm sits on 12 forested acres in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania — the heart of Brandywine Valley, where the Wyeth family painted and Washington's army marched. Beneath the hardwood canopy, along what appear to be underground spring lines, grows one of the densest wild ramp populations in the region.

We didn't plant them. The forest did. Our job is to steward them, harvest them responsibly, teach others to grow their own, and — if we're being honest — occasionally argue about whose turn it is to wash them.

We're Ryan & Whitney, four kids, a Greek tortoise, chickens, a rabbit, a dog, cats, hermit crabs, and a recording studio. We take the ramps seriously. We take ourselves less so.
