PLANNING YOUR GARDEN?

Have you ordered your transplants yet?

Transplants allow more efficient use of fertilizer and irrigation water during early growth stages.

 

When transplants are planted in the field, plants are more uniform since they start off in the field at the same growing stage.

 

Our transplants are started using a complete mineral mix with worm castings and beneficial mycorrhizal fungi so they "hit the ground running".

Varieties and pre-order for market pick-up
