Hello CDA Gardeners!

It’s hard to believe it, but 2025 garden planning is already under way! We are excited to offer you many new varieties, as well as of course our tried and true family favorites.

This year, we’ve decided to focus on high-yielding, LARGE heirloom varieties. Our selection of indeterminate tomatoes offer high production with a special eye towards eye-popping fruit size, sure to impress company and foster a sense of accomplishment for new and experienced gardeners alike.

Aside from our regular tomato, pepper, and culinary herbs, this year we will be offering Brassicas! One select variety of each: Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, as well as a fun Romanesco will be offered. Salad gardens (Lettuce, Kale & Spinach varieties hand picked for early season planting) will also be available by the 6 pack. Because, well, who doesn’t want to get the garden started earlier in 2025?!

Please use the below order form to place your 2025 seedling order with us. Those who pre-order before February 1, 2025 will receive a 10% discount in exchange for helping us keep our seed-starting sanity. If your order includes both spring brassicas and summer nightshades, you will also have first dibs on plant choice for your summer starts.

Thank you for your order! Last year our goal was to each buy a big lego set. We far surpassed that goal and were able to buy our own puppy, a golden retriever we named Huckleberry! This year, we’ve set our sights on a family vacation. The Dinosaur Fossil National Parks trail is a strong contender. Your support helps us accomplish our homeschool entrepreneurship unit, and is teaching us invaluable life-skills! Thank you so much for supporting our small family business and we look forward to another wonderful growing season with you! -Emmitt, Zion, Isaac, Mommy (Grace), and baby Isabella due March 2025.

Salad Garden $12/6 pack
Huckleberry Seedlings (Garden Annual Variety) $10/ea limited quantity, pre-orders get priority

This coming spring (yes already looking ahead to next year’s garden of course!) we will be selling starts for the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company ‘Garden Huckleberry’ variety. We’ve already had several pre-orders, but wanted to share this photo from a local’s harvest for you to look forward to. They are larger than wild huckleberries. Not as sweet, but we’re told the sweetness comes after a hint of frost and even more so after processing for jam/jelly. Excited to offer this beauty as an option for locals who can’t make it out to the woods!

We are here at the Lake Village Farmers Market! 12-4 today with lots of tomatoes to sell! We’ve also got a plant stand sale outside of our house, 1709 n 7th St in CDA!

It is almost here, can you believe it is finally time for Farmer’s Market??!! Come support the boys by buying your tomato starts from them at the Lake Village Farmers Market! This is our favorite market in CDA. Right by the lake, and chock full of truly local produce, fresh cut flowers, and other homesteading families sharing their passion for healthful living and community. Zion, Emmitt & mister Isaac have learned so much through starting all these babies from seed. Please help us complete this lesson by learning the art of sales, customer service, all about money handling, and finding community in the things you enjoy! Thank you all for so much support already this season, and we hope to see YOU at this market!!!
