Growing and eating fresh, just picked vegetables is one of the rewards of living on a farm! Even if you don't live on a farm you can still grow your own vegetables no matter how much space you have available. It is hard to beat the fresh flavor and high nutritional value of fresh organically grown food. Growing a vegetable garden is an ideal way to ensure that you are eating healthy fresh food and it's also a great family activity that allows kids to learn more about the cycle of food and the importance of sustainability.

The cold, short days of winter are the perfect time to plan out and to order organic seeds, certified organic seed potatoes, organic onion and certified organic garlic sets for your vegetable or herb garden. You will find that if you wait until the time to start planting your garden many of the favored varieties will already be sold out, so plan ahead and get the garden that you've been dreaming about. Browse our collection of certified organic vegetable seeds and our personally selected collection of heirloom tomatoes all grown pesticide-free.
