Local means LOCAL!!!

It's that time of year again, farmers' markets are up and running, we've had our Spring rain, and it is time to plant your gardens! This weather is perfect for replanting potted plants as the cooler weather and damp soil will reduce the transplant shock to your plants!!

Well, SPRING IS HERE!!

We are busy planting in the greenhouses and out in the field, seedlings are starting to poke out of the soil, and our Farmers' Market season is back up and running!
