The weather has been discouraging for microgreens but with luck and a little warm sun I’ll be at market Saturday with greens & seeds!
My 2023 seedling sale is live on the website! Reserve seedlings now to pick up in May! All seedlings are certified naturally grown and grown with love on the farm using certified organic seed + soil.
I also have limited quantities of seeds saved from the farm last year – Seed packets can be mailed directly to you, or picked up on farm or at Sweetwater!
Veggie Shares/Flower Shares/Market Cards are also still available for the 2023 season!
Cheers to good growing!
