It has been cold and rainy outside, but inside the greenhouse it’s warm and plants are flourishing.
There are still more crops to seed.
And plants to ‘pot up’ into larger containers.
The Heirloom Plant Sale takes place just four weeks from tomorrow! We hope to see you there–rain or shine.

Cycle the Solstice takes place Saturday, June 23. This year we will have 20, 30, and 60 mile routes connecting local farm businesses throughout York and Lancaster Counties. Come ride with us!
