Online Seedling Pre-Sales Begin April 11th!
The Talking Farm’s Annual Seedling Sales are almost upon us. We have 35 varieties, including heirloom and heritage varieties, all locally-grown with organic seed and soil. Sale dates and times are below.
Order your seedlings in advance online and pick up your seedlings on the designated pickup date of your choice at the Howard Street Farm. No need to specify the date — just show up and your seedlings will be ready. In the meantime, we will keep them watered and healthy until you are ready to plant.
Members of The Talking Farm, even at the base level, receive a 20% discount off online and in-person seedling sales. If you sign up, you will immediately receive an email with a discount code you can claim when you check out online.
