(note added 4/28/2026) We have started a lot of seeds! We plan to have our garden kits for sale, other garden plants, and the first of the prairie seedlings at our first Ames downtown farmers' market on May 9. We will continue to have more prairie plants for sale for the rest of May and June and will add them to the inventory as soon as the plants are healthy and strong enough to face the world.
We will update our inventory weekly on Monday night, and the list will change as we sell some plants and as other little sprouts get stronger and we can confidently offer them for sale. We have a different selection than in 2025, so check out the inventory! we also are offering garden kits and veggie plants. If you are interested in succulents, come to the markets.

In 2026, we will be at the Ames Downtown Farmers Market May 9, 23, 30 and every Saturday in June selling plants, and are also offering an online ordering option. Orders can be picked up at the market, or on the farm on Sundays between 10am and 1pm. To schedule a pickup, please text 978-471-8414 with preferences and wait for a confirmation. We are working out in the field all day long, so we will be only checking orders and texts early morning and late evening.

Thanks for planting little bits of beautiful native habitat. It makes a difference for the birds, beneficial insects, and other creatures.
