Alright Lawrence it's officially opening time tomorrow morning for the Eclectic Market!!!

Well this weekend isn't going as planned. Unfortunately we will NOT be at the Perry Farmers Market tonight, and the official opening of the Eclectic Market will not be until May 28th due to a scheduling conflict. So sorry for anyone that was planning on stopping by at either event. I will be selling tomatoes and peppers at our house tomorrow from 11am-5pm if you are interesting. Here is what we have left. 823 Crawford Dr

Angel and I are helping to set up a new farmers market in Lawrence on Sundays. We definitely need vendors so if you have crafts, food, or anything gardening you are wanting to sell please send a message on the Market's page. Also come on over this Sunday! We will be there trying to get our remaining plants sold! Not sure how many vendors we have starting out but I'm sure we will start to grow throughout the summer. We will also be at the Perry Farmers Market tomorrow night... Finally!

Step right up to the Eclectic Market! A vibrant hub filled with a kaleidoscope of crafts, scrumptious food, and a plethora of plants to fill your garden this summer! The Eclectic Market will be a friendly and quirky market that embraces the essence of Lawrence. With a laid-back atmosphere, feel free to get to know all of our vendors while you shop around. We will be open every Sunday through the summer at the Crown Volkswagen parking lot (near the Crown Toyota sign in the back). We will be open from 10:03am-1:39pm so come visit us!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that we will be doing a pop-up sale Thursday April 20th at American Shaman on 6th Street in Lawrence. Selling pepper and tomato plants. This will be our first public sale of the year. Come and see us.

Since we are selling a significant amount of stuff this year, Angel and I have made it a priority to start focusing on building this page back up and use it for a contact resource. We will be selling plants at three different farmers markets in Lawrence and Perry this grow season (hopefully all three🤞). I have been taking some orders from people contacting me so if you don't want to try and catch us at the markets, we can see if we can get you what you need. Right now we have around 700 tomato plants, 700 pepper plants.... and a handful of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and brussel sprouts. For the tomatoes and peppers we have 70 varieties each with 10 plants for each variety. So if there is something you REALLY want, let us know before they are sold out at the market. Herbs, squashes, cucumbers, kale, swiss chard, and spinach will be started this weekend. If there is something you're interested in and live in or around Lawrence just send us a message on here. Plants will be $5 a plant this year. Here is just a small sample of some of the tomatoes Angel has growing this year. She will have the rest posted soon, and I should be getting all my pepper varieties posted as well! Thank you everyone for your support!!!

Oh man it's been a while since we have posted. Life has been crazy so very sorry about that. We will be posting some new garden pics this week though! We have had some good success this year selling at the North Lawrence Farmers Market. I was fortunate/unfortunate enough to be able to pay off some things recently so with some of the money left over I decided to spend a little money helping us out with our grow stations and our seed inventory for next year. I will be setting up fans on all our shelves, we have microgreen trays now, (5) 200 seed trays, 1600 2.5" pots (20 cents per pot buying in bulk), and an equal amount of bottom watering trays for the pots. Everything should fit on our current grow shelves and we have enough seeds to start about 1400 plants. It's going to be big next year!

Guess what time it is!!! This year we are scaling things down a bit. Angel is working hard with her new business and working on top of that so life is busy!! I will try to keep up on post this year I know we didn't hardly post anything last season. Anyway I'm doing a lot less peppers this year... doesn't seem like it, but I went from like 180 down to 100 plants. It might be even less than that because I'm not starting any extras so if I don't get all 100 that's it! Mostly sweet peppers for cooking and a few for hot sauces and powders. And yes I added emojis... don't judge me! The first round of seedlings are in the AeroGarden now!

Alright I went through all the peppers getting them ready to harvest. We want to try to plant them together depending on hot/sweet so I counted everything. Here is what we have!
