We are back! Most of you already know we grow almost everything we sell here at Farrand Farms, so you won't be surprised to learn we already have over 15,000 sq ft. of our greenhouses full of fresh growing plants.
For those of you with a tomato affection, we have some varieties ready to plant now! We plan to have a little fun early this year. We've planted several bushel and half-bushel baskets with various combinations of tomatoes, lettuce, onions and a wide variety of herbs including basils. These containers will be fun to watch - you can even take them home to finish them yourselves. Go ahead, be the first on the block to enjoy a homegrown tomato!
Farrand Farms is now open for the spring season. Onion sets are in and we have a great selection of fresh garden seeds. We always recommend Cotton Burr Compost when turning your soils. Cotton Burr helps create a great root environment and often times it helps dry out very damp soils.
We've got lots of new flowers and plants to introduce you to this spring. Check out our "What's New" section for a brief preview. We'll do our best to keep you updated.
Pansies and violas are already showing their happy faces. Did you know their blossoms are edible? Great for adding a bit of spring to a salad!
It's still too early to do a lot outside, but you can do yourself a great favor by stopping in and watching us grow. Each and everyday, our greenhouses have something new and exciting going on. After our long dark winter, a visit to Farrand Farms will do wonders for your soul. So cheer up and come on in to see us!
