Growing your own food is becoming an important part of living a sustainable lifestyle. We are pleased to offer a number of heirloom varieties of tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and other vegetable plants for your gardens. We offer herbs throughout the year and vegetable plants in early spring and fall.  We test grow new varieties in our own gardens to ensure that the varieties we sell will hold up in central Florida's soil and climate.

What are Heirlooms?
Heirloom plants are open-pollinated (not hybridized) plants that reproduce true to type, and have been around for at least 50 years. Many are only in existence today because they have been saved and handed down generation to generation through the years. They are unique in colors, shapes, flavors, and sizes, and some you might not even recognize.
