From late April to early June, we're potting up and reselling the same seedlings we transplant in our fields. We use top quality seeds and top quality potting mix for healthy, vigorous plants. And we only sell when the time is right, because your success is our success. No matter what the big box stores sell you, tomatoes planted in April will struggle, but tomatoes planted in May will thrive!

On Tour
We just wrapped up three tours in three weeks. The first was a cover crop workshop on April 25, during which Long Island growers (including former apprentice Thomas Lennon!) got to see stands of overwintered winter peas, winter rye, and hairy vetch, as well as newly-germinated oats and field peas. A big thank you to Teddy Tomao from NOFA-NY and Melissa Phillips from the Real Organic Project for organizing. Two days later, Dan mowed down the winter peas in Upper Crooked, in advance of winter squash. He wanted to do it sooner, but I asked him to hold off for the sake of the workshop. Now we’re hosting a kids’ rock hunt (May 16, at 10am) to clear the field of rocks. If you want a good laugh, pull up a lawn chair and watch a bunch of toddlers tumble through the cover crop like a pack of puppies as they search for rocks. The event is free and open to the public, and big kids are welcome, too. Read more...
