Plant Sales begin tomorrow! Cate Farm 2022 Plant Sales are on Fridays and Saturdays from 8am - 2pm starting May 6-7. We’ll be open Fridays and Saturdays for five weekends, through June 3-4. Come check out our wide selection of healthy organic starts for your garden: tons of vegetable varieties, culinary and medicinal herbs, plus annual and perennial flowers. Visit our website to browse our seedling cultivars and grow your best garden ever!
Recent developments: Cate Farm is trying to reduce the amount of plastics used growing seedlings. We now offer certain varieties in Fertil fiber pots, the best fiber pots on the market in our opinion. Made in France in a zero emission hydro powered factory, Fertil uses sustainably harvested pine trees as the pots’ main ingredient. Plant roots easily grow through the fiber pot walls for natural air pruning, preventing any root circling. Pots readily decompose once transplanted into the garden, and reduce any transplant shock.
How about no pots at all?! Cate Farm purchased a used soil block machine from the Netherlands that stamps out cubes of soil, which then get placed on wooden trays for seeding and growing out. Roots naturally air prune, and soil blocks make transplanting a snap. Come to the Plant Sales for a live demo, and check out our seedlings grown in blocks.
Our goal is for you to have the best gardening experience- we are here to help answer whatever questions you may have. We hope to see you at our Plant Sales!
All the best from Richard, Sally and Flint and the team at Cate Farm.
