There is a $7 delivery fee per order for this location to cover gas and labor for the extra distance. As like last year, if you make a second order later, you get charged the fee again- the system does it and I can not correct it, so please be aware.If it makes you cranky, just consider it a donation to help defray the cost of high tunnel doors, hooray!

Hello Everyone!
Here are all the nitty gritty details on how to order plants. Several new locations have been added as well.
Ordering is now open through the Open Food Network website. Orders typically close the night before the plant sale at 6pm.

IMPORTANT: you must make sure to choose which location you want to pick up, BEFORE you start ordering. See in the upper right hand corner, there is a drop down that says your "order is ready for". Choose which date/location you wish to order from. Be sure to also select the corresponding shipping location.
Please remember to bring a crate or box to transport your plants. The only exception is the Winsted and Thomaston locations where plants are fully preboxed.
When planting your seedlings, you are encouraged to water, then water, then water some more before planting.
Payment by check to Pleasant Valley Botanicals LLC is encouraged as it is less hassle than cash and less fees to the farm than credit card.
Although I have tried to minimize disposable plastic use on the farm, there are currently no truly biodegradable or compostable pots that really work well. I continue to happily take back any gently used SQUARE plastic pots in the 2-6" size range.
All our plants are grown with love, and our seeds are from sources that have taken the safe-seed pledge or are otherwise reliable. However, if harvesting for culinary or medicinal purposes it is still YOUR responsibility to ensure proper identification as other adventurous seeds and weed seeds CAN and DO make their way into potting soil, neighboring seedling flats and pots, and garden beds. Any information presented here or during the sale is not intended to diagnosis, prevent, cure or treat any medical condition nor make any medical claims about the safety or efficacy of herbs. There are some plants for sale that have certain precautions, such as photosensitivity and or not for internal consumption.
Some of the eco59 Native CT Pollinator Plants are just too tiny to bring to a sale. I'm hoping to let them grow up a bit bigger and stronger and have some available in early June.
One complimentary 6x6 cm seedling with any purchase of $75 or more (while supplies last) but you must add to your cart. When the parsley runs out, I'll find something else to offer instead :)
Please email me with questions about plant sales or ordering process as I know it can be a bit clunky. If you don't get an email confirmation within 24 hours, check your spam box but otherwise your order did not go through.
ALL SALES LISTED ARE BY PREORDER ONLY. As in there will be no extra seedlings to browse at the pickup location. I'm hoping to offer that in early June at the new farm location.
