Enjoy juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and delectable green beans straight from the garden (farm to table). Nothing beats the freshness and taste to accompany healthy living! Take a look at our collection of vegetables, fruits and herbs. You’ll be amazed at our selection of tomatoes and peppers alone.  We even have some of the hard to find vegetables such as spicy ghost peppers and San Marzano tomato plants.

When it comes to tomatoes, you’ll find the perfect cherry tomato for tossing into a healthy salad or a great slicing tomato to perfect the ultimate sandwich. For those that demand excellence in flavor, we offer heirloom tomatoes such as Mortgage Lifter, Brandywine, and Mr. Stripey.

Growing fresh herbs is one of the most rewarding aspects of gardening.  Basil, oregano, thyme, chives, cilantro, parsley and mint are just a few of the favorites you will find at our nursery.  Many of our herbs are even offered year ’round.
