The Roots of Tigertoes Farm
Debby Kays
Debby, a passionate herbalist, enjoys studying plants, herbs and their uses. Her creativity and continuous research of them have led to the tea blends and tinctures she offers the community. Debby tries to grow herbs that are adapted to the local climate. When that’s impossible, she sources them from reputable organic suppliers to use in her teas, tinctures and capsules.
Locally, Debby makes plant-based and gluten-free baked goods that delight and sweeten the conscious eating of friends and neighbors. Try them and experience their rich benefits, yourself. You’ll find a wider variety of products for sale at Tigertoes Farm and at various places in Southwest Florida. The Sauna House, in Bonita Springs, serves Tigertoes’ herbal teas as part of its after-spa refreshments. Come and support the spa and enjoy our teas.
“At Tigertoes Farm, our respect for the interconnectedness of nature is what motivates us!”
Terry Kays
After pursuing many varied endeavors, Terry always returned to plants. The pleasure of seeing someone try a fresh, fully ripe fruit for the first time satisfies him. He encourages people to take up the age-old practice of growing their own food instead of relying on strangers, with set priorities, to create and control what they eat. In a small way, Terry strives to reconnect society to the sustenance that feeds them. That includes the fruits, trees, teas and all the great goodies that his wife, Debby, creates.
Terry always looks for new tree sources and remains enthusiastic about growing, grafting and propagating tropical fruit trees and herbs. He keeps his eyes focused on giving locals an opportunity to grow wonderful fruits for themselves. Terry admits that he doesn’t know everything about plants and the environment. However, he enjoys sharing his hard-won knowledge with others.
