We've got some stunning tomatoes ripening!

Sart Roloise is a beautiful yellow and purple beefsteak, Brad's Atomic is a colorful and delicious grape type, and, last but not least, California Sungold is a vibrant yellow-orange cherry type.

We'll have seeds from all of the varieties available for the 2027 season if you'd like to add them to your own garden!

Garlic is almost ready to go home with you!

We're very careful to clean and cure our garlic thoroughly so that it stores well in your pantry, or makes nice healthy seed garlic for your garden.

Great airflow, clean bulbs, and patience are key!

If you aren’t already on our waitlist and would like to be, let us know. We'll have it for sale in our online store as soon as it's ready, and will likely attend a couple of markets in Port Alberni, too!
