Hepworth Farms Local Organic Oregano

Pungent and freshly herbal, oregano is a signature ingredient in the foods of southern Italy and Greece. Think of tomato sauce and pizza, grilled fish and lamb. Unlike its milder cousins, marjoram and thyme, it can stand up to heat without losing strength. The next time you're grilling, add generous amounts of fresh oregano to rubs and marinades. Established in 1818, Hepworth Farms is one of the premier organic growers in the Hudson Valley. Under the direction of sisters Amy and Gail Hepworth, this FreshDirect Partner Farm serves as a leader and inspiration for responsible and sustainable agriculture.
