Vegetable Plants from Harvest Farm of Whately
Hello Grower,
Welcome to this growing season. Davey and staff at Harvest Farm, we will be growing again!
We strive for healthy, stocky plants that will perform well in your fields and ours. We are paying attention to the details that give these transplants a little edge for what faces them. We guarantee the count and the quality of all our plants for growers.
All the transplants are grown in a naturally sterile mix or Living Acres organic soil mix. This means there are no soil-borne diseases in these plants. The cell concept helps reduce transplant shock by holding the root ball together and providing a reservoir for water. Altogether, your plants will be early maturing and very satisfactory for a great beginning in the spring.
Herbs are on a separate list. Please request.
Flat and cell information:
A flat size is the standard 1020 11″ x 22″. 162 cells 1 1/8″ x 1 1/8″ x 1 ½”; 128 cells 1 ¼” x 1 ¼” x 1 ¾”; 72 cells 1 ½” x 1 ½” x 2 ½”

Seed Note: We welcome your new, clean, commercially or organically grown quality seed. All seed must be from a reputable seed company and certified to be disease-free. An appropriate credit is given when the grower supplies the seed.
