Create the garden of your dreams by selecting from a host of organic vegetable, herb,
flower and native plant starts. Imagine picking your favorite heirloom tomatoes for
your dinner salad or cutting a beautiful sunflower for a table bouquet. Organic starts
are hard to find so take advantage of the day and come to the farm early for the best
selection. We are teaming up with the California Native Plant Society to raise money
for the restoration and development of our American River Ranch.
These are just a few of the varieties of organic vegetable, herb and flower starts
we will have this year.
