We’ll be back at market this Saturday with our complete selection of herb and vegetable plants (including many new and unique heirloom tomato varieties!) for walk-up sales.

We will have plants available at Sweetwater throughout the month of May (and perhaps into June), both for walk-up sales and pre-orders. (A new form will be published each week to reflect current inventory.)

https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares
Market Cards are available! – if CSA is not your style, but you would like to support the farm through an early season purchase, consider a market card.

https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/p/4mrgp138pty1nzjpg0v717ulfpqmu6
Seedlings are available for preorder! I am offering preorders on seedling plants this year! This will allow me to grow a bit more sustainably as it will prevent over seeding and wasting resources. (I will have limited seedling availability for walk up purchases though May and June)
However, if you would like to guarantee yourself seedlings consider preordering below!
All seedlings will be healthy and well rooted in a 3” pot, ready to transplant into your own garden!
All seedlings will be available to pick up on farm or at Sweetwater market from late May through June!
Order here:
