The outdoor thermometer read 26 degrees but it's always warm in the greenhouse, thanks to the supplemental gas heat that lends it glow as I make my early morning visit. Once I turn on the lights, here's what I find.

To ensure the best selection, it is best to pre-order your plants so I can put them aside before I offer plants to the public. They'll continue to have their tender, loving care until you're ready to plant them in your garden.

I am anxious to see your plants and pick my own. Can I come to the farm or do I have to wait for the farm market. Thank you!
Thanks for your inquiry, Pat. We'd welcome a visit to the farm to see the plants. Give us a call (274-8004) and we'll set up a time that works. Some of the plants are ready now!
