We are taking seedling orders for spring 2020! To place an order, e-mail us at summersbeth@ gmail.com with the variety and number of seedlings of each mvariety you would like. Your order will be available for pick up at the farm, located 4 miles outside Viroqua. If necessary, we can provide delivery for those who are unable to pick up their order.

When we receive your order, we’ll confirm the total price and coordinate pickup.  Payments can be made via PayPal to summersbeth@gmail.com (this is the preferred method) or with a check at the time of pickup. Although we can’t offer public access to the greenhouse at this time, we will have a convenient pickup table with your order ready when you arrive.

Our plants are grown using organic methods without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. All seedlings are from certified organic seeds, and seedlings are planted in organic approved soil.

We make every effort to provide you with the healthiest possible seedlings using only organic methods. If you are not completely happy with your seedlings, we will do our best to replace them. We control aphids in our greenhouse by releasing native ladybugs, but occasionally aphids may be present on seedlings. In our experience, aphids are easily rinsed away with a strong stream of water and will not survive when your seedlings are transplanted outside.  

The seedling varieties listed below are currently available for purchase. More varieties will be added as they become ready for transplant!
