Seedlings

 

All our seedlings are grown in rich organic soil (with no animal manure) using natural sunlight in order to intensify colours, to provide full flavour, and to extend their shelf life!  To be proactive about your guest's safety, our seedlings and their water, seeds, and soil are regularly tested in a laboratory for E-coli 0157 and Salmonella!
