This season the Seed Library is partnering with Hollengold Farm to open a weekly farm store where you can get a taste of what we're growing as well as ferments, flowers, preserves, t-shirts, seed swag, books, and more!

Wendy Hollender, botanical artist, author, and illustrator of the soon-to-be-published Foraging and Feasting book written by Dina Falconi, has generously invited us to use part of her farmstead for our trial gardens. Although we won't be producing a ton of vegetables, there will be small harvests each week of close to 300 different heirloom varieties. After we're done evaluating each variety for health, regional adaptation, resistance to disease, and productivity, we'll do one final very scientific evaluation- a taste test (a.k.a. eating them)! Whatever harvest is left after our rigorous taste testing will go to the farm store so you can do you own taste tests and let us know what you think.

The farm stand will be a little different each month. In addition to our seasonal heirloom vegetables, Wendy and the Seed Library will be offering many other farm fresh, artful, homemade, and useful items including seedlings, pickles, ferments, sundried veggies, soaps, organic vanilla extract, foraged food, t-shirts, tote bags, books, row cover, hoops, art, and more. We'll also be hosting tours, workshops, cooking demos, and tastings, including Dina's recipes from Foraging and Feasting, during farm stand hours. Each week we'll post what's happening at the stand on our website and Facebook page.

Stop by and meet Blake, this year's Seed Library trial garden and farm stand intern, who is helping Erin grow out the 300 Seed Library varieties at Hollengold Farm.
