Delivery is free for orders of $50 or more, and $10 otherwise.

We'll deliver your seedlings on Sunday morning, May 17th.

If we have any questions about your delivery (or, if it's a blizzard on May 17th) we'll get in touch!

Yes! Our seedlings, as well as those from many of our fellow local farmers, are available for pre-order through the co-op's website (orders placed through the co-op are required to be picked up in-person, the day of the event).

Several reasons.

First: in-person pick-up, at a popular event, with minimal parking, isn't for everyone.

Second: this website allows us to share a couple sentences/paragraphs describing why these varieties are our favorites.

Third: while we want the co-op seedling sale to be a wonderful annual event for as long as we're farming (so, decades), it's risky to put all your eggs in one basket, and we're building an online presence so we have a channel to sell seedlings in case the co-op sale goes away.

The simple, if unsatisfying, answer is "it depends".

We describe our seedlings as "frost-sensitive", "frost-tolerant", and "cold-hardy".

Cold-hardy seedlings can be transplanted any time.

Frost-tolerant seedlings will survive a light frost, down to about 28 degrees.

Frost-sensitive seedlings will be killed by freezing temperatures - but can be protected with floating row cover, Walls-of-Water, or any number of DIY approaches.

At Ripcord (Washoe Valley, ~5300' elevation) we're planting ours around May 15th, with AG-30 row cover on standby to protect against frosts. We assume we'll need to protect against at least one frost.

At our home (West University) we plant in early May, as long as the 10-day forecast is clear of freezing temps.
