As always, “ Know your farmer…Know your food!“ Planting Tips for Happy, Healthy Organic Seedlings Seedling Care and When to Plant The only way to be really sure what goes into your organic seedlings is to know your farmer. Thus by bringing these plants into your garden, you take a strong risk of infecting your own plants as well as those of your neighbors! This practice causes crop failures and lost revenue for farmers and backyard gardeners alike!Īdditionally, as with any USDA Organic labeled product, we must remember that not all states follow the same organic standards. However, one important key to remember is that these plants often carry plant diseases like blight, which can not survive in Maine winters. Most seedlings from the big box stores, while perhaps less expensive, are grown on more southern climates where they can be ready faster. Many people do not realize that buying seedlings that are not grown locally can do more harm than good in the long run. Locally grown, these Maine-hardy seedlings are ready for your garden! We grow and source many popular and lesser-known varieties of everyone’s favorite seasonal organic vegetables, herb, and flowers. We work with trusted (and verified) local organic farmers and producers to provide our customers with MOFGA certified, non-GMO seedlings grown from non-treated seeds with absolutely no chemical fertilizers.
