Since you can’t come to us, we’re coming to you!

In addition to seed starting, plant transplanting and hoping for a warm spring and great gardening summer, we’ve been adding a few items to our Etsy Shop and have created an Online Popup Shop with everything available for either contact free pickup on our porch in Youngsville or free delivery within 20+- miles of the shop.
Mothers Day is May 10th and we have some lovely things that might please.

• We’ll be regularly adding items
• Just send us a message if you think we have it and don’t see it

So many are doing such good work that we are donating 10% of every sale to the various groups in the county who are focusing on keeping people fed and healthy.  With our thanks we are donating 10% of every sale  to the good folks at SALT, ENGN and A Single Bite.

Need Seedlings?  We’ll start them for you.

Tomatoes
Generally, hybrid tomatoes are more prolific and uniform than heirloom varieties, and hybrids usually have more resistance to disease, but many people say heirlooms taste a little better.  We start our tomatoes in mid-March, and grow them on in 4-inch pots.

Thanksgiving is all about the food, the company, the chance to share recipes and stories. The parade, Miracle on 34th Street, the football, the leftovers. The time to remember Thanksgivings gone by and to be grateful that the era of Tomato Aspic is over.

A time to reflect.   A time to be grateful.

As Henry Van Dyke said,

“Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.
Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.
Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.”

As we head into the holidays, we want to thank you for your support over the years.

It matters that you continue to support small, local businesses.

All of the statistics support the benefits of shopping locally, ranging from the dollars kept in the local economy to the strengthening of communities.

Thank you for keeping your money where your heart lives, supporting an economy of friends and neighbors, giving strength to the place we all love and call home.
