  • Average gardening/week: 15-20 hours, expect to work more hours during peak harvest times to process and store produce. (e.g. 100' L x 70' W)

 Ways things may be New:

  • Upsizing this year and getting used to a larger garden
  • Relocated and this garden is in a different zone
  • New home with different soils
  • Trying new seed varieties
  • Growing to sell your produce

New often means higher plant mortality; a smaller space is an opportunity to acclimate.

      • Detailed

        It's difficult to find information for growing food in Zones 3 and 4 where frost dates are not consistent and summers are short. We make it easy to growing in The North with detailed information at your fingertips with specifically designed seed packets.

      • Tried & True

        Seeds in all the collections have been trialed on our Northern farm and taste approved by our CSA members, so you can trust these seeds will grow and produce in your Northern garden.

      • Tailored

        Too many seeds, not the right seeds, upsizing or downsizing the garden, new to gardening, relocated to a new Zone ~ so many life variables outside of a seed packet. We are flexible to your life. Each year, order the seed collection that matches your gardening lifestyle.

      • Fresh

        Always have the freshest seeds for the best germination to grow a bountiful garden.

      Benefits of a Garden

      Versatile

      Grow what you enjoy ~ herbs to flavor a recipe, vegetables to feed the body and flowers to nourish the soul. Whether you have a lot of outdoor space, an empty windowsill, or something in between, you can keep a garden. Even the tiniest slice of space can be transformed into a lush, thriving garden.

      Rewarding

      Growing food is a rewarding experience for the whole family; teaching where our food comes from, how it’s grown, and about responsibility (watering, weeding and harvesting). Plus, gardening is a great way to learn about different types of vegetables, nutrition, and how to use fresh produce in meals.

      Learning

      When you grow your own food, you open yourself and family to a world of learning opportunities; study plant life cycles, how different types of seeds grow, world of insects and how they work together, balancing and improving soil quality, composting, the growing seasons, and the list goes on.

      Best

      Homegrown food is tastier and saves money. It's kind to the environment, minimizes pesticide exposure and helps you stay clear of tainted food. Freshly picked is more nutrient-dense than store-bought vegetables. Harvesting straight from the garden also reduces plastic packaging and fossil fuels.
