Plant Categories

We have so many great seedlings that will be available for growing in home gardens and containers this season! Our plant catalog includes a wide selection of vegetables, herbs, flowers and native plants that will be available over the course of the 2026 growing season. Cool weather/early spring plants are usually available beginning in March and April, warm weather/late spring plants are usually available beginning in late April or early May. All plants will be listed in the Online Farm Stand when they are ready for planting.

Please note that if a plant on the Online Farm Stand is listed as “Sold Out” it will likely be back in stock soon - we’re just waiting for the next generation to be ready for planting. Check back often!

We are planning to have all the plants listed below available this season. However, availability is always dependent on germination, weather conditions and seed supply. We look forward to helping your garden come to life this year!
