Heirloom Transplant Sale  - 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saturdays in March at the farm from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Heirloom Tomatoes, Sweet and Hot Peppers, Eggplant, Lettuce, Squash and Melons

Johnson's Backyard Garden is excited to offer certified-organic heirloom vegetable transplants ready to plant in your spring garden!

Heirloom seeds have been saved from generation to generation and are renowned for their superior taste and beauty. Many of the varieties available are listed in Slow Food's Ark of Taste and are in danger of extinction. By promoting and eating these heirlooms, you help ensure they remain in production and on our plates.

We're also selling transplants online and at the Wednesday Triangle Market as well as the Saturday Downtown and Sunset Valley Farmers' Markets during this time period.
