Collection: Seedlings

Our organically grown seedlings are carefully raised to give gardeners a strong, healthy start to the growing season. Starting with high-quality seed and nurtured in greenhouse conditions, these young plants arrive ready to be hardened off and transplanted into the garden when the weather is right. Seedlings are an excellent option for gardeners looking to save time, extend the harvest season, or grow crops that benefit from an early start indoors.

We offer a diverse seasonal selection of vegetables, herbs, and flowers chosen for vigor, flavor, beauty, and garden performance. Availability for pre-orders is limited but more are available throughout the season in our greenhouses and farm in Accord, NY. Seedlings do not ship and are available for pickup only.

Seedlings FAQs

What are seedlings?

Seedlings are young plants grown from seed in controlled conditions before being transplanted into the garden. They offer a head start on the growing season and help gardeners establish crops more quickly and reliably.

Why should I order seedlings instead of starting seeds myself?

Seedlings save time and simplify the growing process, especially for crops that benefit from an early indoor start or have a long growing season. They are ideal for gardeners with limited indoor space, short seasons, or busy schedules.

Do I need to harden off seedlings before planting?

Yes. Seedlings should be gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions before transplanting. This process, known as hardening off, helps reduce transplant shock by slowly introducing plants to sunlight, wind, and temperature fluctuations.

How should I care for seedlings after buying them?

Water them as needed. Keep them in a bright, sheltered location while hardening off, then transplant them into prepared soil once they are acclimated and weather conditions are suitable.

Can seedlings be planted directly outdoors immediately?

Not usually. Even greenhouse-grown plants benefit from a gradual transition outdoors. Sudden exposure to direct sun, wind, or cold temperatures can stress tender young plants.

Are your seedlings organically grown?

Our seedlings are organically grown with care using high-quality growing practices designed to support healthy, vigorous plants that perform for home gardens.

Why isn’t shipping available for seedlings?

Seedlings are live, perishable products that require specialized packaging and expedited handling to ensure they arrive healthy and ready to thrive. Because of these additional shipping requirements, they are not eligible for shipping.
