PLANT STARTS
Organic Veggie, Herb, & Flower Starts
We offer a wide variety of organically grown vegetable, flower, and culinary herb starts for your garden. We choose varieties that are proven to grow well here in our region, even in marginal growing seasons. Our starts are available March though June.
Where To Buy our Starts:
-The Olympia Farmers Market: Every Saturday in March, then Thursday-Sunday starting the first week in April. We attend this market year round.
*NOTE: Thursdays and Fridays are much less crowded and there is tons of parking!
–The Olympia Food Co-ops: We will be providing them with a wide variety of starts this year. They include mustard greens, collards, arugula, boc choy, tat soi, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, chard, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, basil, and over 15 varieties of flowers.
–The Farm: We don’t have an “official” farm stand, but you can stop by Wed-Fri between 10-3 and someone should be able to help you select some plants. Cash is preferred, but we also accept credit cards.
These are just some of the things we plan to grow in 2024. We add new varieties all the time and welcome your suggestions. Click on the links below for variety descriptions.
