We’ve got 2 events coming up where we’ll be selling our organic seedlings and seeds for gardeners.
The first one is this Tuesday evening in Shediac, at the Shediac Community Garden’s annual spring meeting. We’ll be doing a little talk about our farm and farm practices. For more info, find the facebook event page here.
The second is our 3rd annual Organic Plant Sale at La Bikery in Moncton. It’s happening on Sunday, June 3rd from 10 am to 2pm. This year, there’s the addition of a big bike sale happening too! For more info, the facebook event page is here.
We’ll also still be bringing seedlings to the Dieppe Market on Saturdays for at least the next 2 weeks (maybe 3). However, the selection of varieties tends to go down over time as we sell out of some. So, if you have specific ones you’re after, it’s best to get your tomatoes sooner.
