Tomatoes --- Peppers -- Eggplants
       
COMMON GOOD FARM 2020 CERTIFIED ORGANIC PLANT SALE ...just starting to update this mid-April! CHECK BACK!

OPEN NOW! Sale opened April 18, 2020 :: We've started updating varietals!

VARIETAL INFORMATION for peppers, tomatoes, eggplant from ANTICIPATED varieties; some may not be available until mid-May; some are limited quantity. Just tomato/pepper/eggplant varieties are listed here because there are so many & often folks have a specific interest, but we also have  flowers, herbs, cabbage, broccoli, chard, kale, collards, lettuces, melons, zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, melons...and more!  We try & update the list based on plantings and varietal selections for the year! This list is the most complete at the time!

No neo-nics! Certified organic and certified Biodynamic!
PRO-TIP #1: Not all heirlooms tomatoes are funky looking! Don't miss out, slicers and pastes can be heirlooms too!
PRO-TIP #2: DETERMINATE (bush) types of tomatoes fruit earlier (mid-late July, sometimes earlier!) and are usually about 3-4' tall & benefit from a small cage or staking. They fruit heavily for a period of time & then slow down or stop altogether.  INDETERMINATE (vining) tomatoes are the classic tall tomatoes that need more support & begin to fruit later (about the time determinates stop/slow down), but will typically continue until frost. SEMI-DETERMINATES won't get quite as tall & fruit somewhat earlier than the late season tomatoes. IF you have room, put in both!

We focus on open-pollinated, HEIRLOOM varieties from organic non-gmo seed. All are grown from seed on the farm…certified organic & certified Biodynamic. More info about the farm at www.commongoodfarm.com
