Hardneck Garlic ‘Music’: This popular garlic does very well in our area and produces large cloves that are easy to peel. Garlic is a heavy feeder so be sure to amend the soil with compost before planting. Learn more on our planting guide.
Site: Full sun, rich well-draining soil.
Spacing: Plant 4-6″ apart
Days to Maturity: Harvest mid-late June.
Price: $0.60 per clove

Softneck ‘Inchelium Red’: This softneck garlic is easy to grow and does well in our area. While it has smaller cloves than a hardneck, it typically stores longer. It will also benefit from compost added to the soil before planting. Learn more on our planting guide.
Site: Full sun, rich well-draining soil.
Spacing: 4-6″ apart
Days to Maturity: Harvest mid-late June.
Price: $0.60 per clove

Shallots ‘Red French’: With their mild and aromatic flavor, red shallots go well in nearly every recipe and can be used either cooked or raw. They have a pleasant flavor that lies somewhere between that of garlic and onion. Each red shallot will produce 5-10 bulbs that are 1-4″ in diameter and store very well, even as long as 12 months! Learn more on our planting guide.
Site: Full sun but will tolerate partial shade
Spacing: 6″ apart
Days to Maturity: Harvest in June/July.
Price: $0.60 per shallot

We’re excited to partner with Stark Brother’s Nursery and Orchard to offer this pre-order sale of fruit and nut trees at a fraction of the retail value! Each tree, which normally retail for up to $75 each, will be just $20 each. Thank you to Stark Bro’s for helping us to further our mission to empower people and communities to grow food.

The trees are all grown by Stark Bro’s using their EZ Start pots which are a bottomless pot that is 4″x4″x10″. These pots encourage dense feeder-root growth for a quick and strong establishment. The size of the trees will range from 1.5′ tall to 3′ tall. Due to the discounted price Stark Bro’s usual 1 year guarantee does not apply to these trees.

This sale will offer varieties of apple, Asian pear, elderberry, persimmon, peach, nectarine, and pecan trees. Descriptions of each can be found at the pre-order link below. All pre-orders must be picked up on the pickup day and time listed below.
