Allium cepa. Red Storage. 100 days. Long Day. One of the best open pollinated red onions available. Medium-early and uniform. Dark red skin with good red color through all of the bulb layers.

Allium cepa. Red Scallion/Onion. 40 days bunching, 90 days bulb. A beautiful, red scallion / salad / spring onion with tall, dark green tops. Red color develops early.

Allium cepa. Copper-pink storage/ shallot-onion. 120 days. Long Day. Large, copper-pink, torpedo-shaped bulbs have sweet and mild flavor and store well. While technically an onion, we use the designation shallot-onion because its appearance and culinary qualities more closely resemble shallots: Narrow rings, high dry matter and excellent storage life, but most importantly – delicate flavor….
Atriplex hortensis. 40-50 days. We first learned about orach during our time at Horton Road Organics where its shocking red leaves were a key ingredient in their famous salad mix. Red Flash is a European selection that is a great salad mix variety with delightful magenta red leaves. The undersides of the lovely, heart-shaped leaves…
Petroselinum crispum. 70 days. An incredibly productive and delicious variety of flat-leaf parsley. Einfache Schnitt 3 parsley has much of the wonderful characteristics of the classic Giant of Italy, but with a more compact reliable plant and much better bolt-resistance. Translates from German as ‘easy cut,’ which proves to be very true. Incredibly flavorful and…
Petroselinum crispum. 75 days. With its extra curly leaves, Forest Green parsley has a very enticing and familiar appearance. Flavor is less bold than flat leaf parsley, making it great for adding a little fresh zing and color to heavy or richly flavored recipes. Not just for garnishes, curly parsley is key for recipes like…
Pastinaca sativa. Halblange Weisse is German for ‘half long white’ and this variety is truly half-long with bright white skin. The half-long trait (majority of the mass is near the top of the root which quickly tapers), combined with strong tops result in a parsnip that is notably easier to dig. This variety was a…
Cucurbita pepo. Golden-Yellow. 60 days. Bright golden-yellow patty pan squash with a delightful nutty flavor. Young fruit are nice and tender, larger fruit are firm and crunchy. Large bushy plants are quite productive. Unlike hybrid summer squash, the fruit still tastes great when picked over-mature. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this summer squash is…

Plants are perennial and re-grow after cutting. A cultivated species related to the common edible garden weed. Narrow, strappy leaves have some antler-like forking, referenced in one of its…
Phaseolus vulgaris. Flat Green Pods. 55 days. Very aptly named, Early Riser shoots up its runners right along with its first true leaves, so your trellis better be ready. We are amazed by its early and consistent vigorous growth, and pick stringless, 8-10” Romano type snap beans weeks earlier than other pole varieties. Keeps producing…
Phaseolus vulgaris. Semi-flat Yellow Pods. 70 days. Yellow/wax bean yields lots of crunchy beans with excellent sweet and beany flavor. The 9″ long straight pods are ½” wide with a semi-flat shape.

Zea mays. Popcorn. 90 days. One of the earliest maturing and easiest to grow popcorns. 6-8” ears on 6′ tall plants. Dark black kernels have a ruby-red, glassy shine when held in the right angle of light. The pointy kernels pop bright white with a small black hull still attached. The flavor is delicious, hearty…
Cucurbita pepo. 75 days. This jack-o-lantern is often orange in mid-August from an early June transplanting! We never would have thought it possible without seeing it with our own eyes. Many jacks are late to mature; this one is so early you can forget about planting it until July and probably still have good results….
Portulaca oleracea sativa. 50 days. Similar to Munich purslane, but with darker green leaves and thinner stems. French Green Leaf slightly resembles wild purslane but is distinctly different as it grows very upright for easy cutting, and leaves and stems are more succulent with a milder flavor. This variety makes a nice crunchy addition to…
Portulaca oleracea sativa. 50 days. Munich Purslane is a summer salad green with great texture and heat tolerance. Not the weedy relative, this grows tall and sets seed late. It also has much better flavor compared to wild purslane. High in Omega-3 fatty acids, it adds a citrusy tang to summer salads. Its character seems…
Cichorium intybus. Loose heading and tall heading type. 100-120 days. La Rosa Del Veneto is a pink leafed chicory of the type that has been “having a moment” since at least 2018. We’re hoping that moment is here to stay and that pink chicory will establish itself as more than a niche crop for fancy…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 70 days. After extensive trialing, Palla Rossa Melot is the best open pollinated classic Palla Rossa radicchio we have found. Large, dense round heads of bright red and white leaves have a mild flavor and make a festive addition to the plate. Quicker to head up than many other varieties…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 75 days. An outstanding selection of a solid heading radicchio with a 4-6” tall, elongated shape. Deep red/purple leaves with broad white mid-ribs are nice and crunchy with the tangy bitterness that radicchio is known for. We loved this variety for our winter CSA, as the tight wrapping on the…
Cichorium intybus. Tall heading type. 80 days. Large heads have a deep red leaf color with crunchy white midribs. We have trialed dozens of radicchio varieties over the years and Treviso Mesola is a standout. Italians have many wonderful song-like names for vegetables. This variety is sometimes referred to by its long name, Radicchio Treviso…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 75 days. Another standout from our extensive radicchio trials. Best for fall and early winter harvest. Heads are slightly variable in shape and size but all have a nice red-pink and white variegation, lacking the green of Castelfranco and Luisa types. Large, round heads (think iceberg lettuce) are beautiful and…
Raphanus sativus. Pink Bunching. 27 days. Round to slightly oval, crisp roots are bright pink and not too spicy. We are rarely impressed with bunching radishes, but these are just darn good.

Major Dunne retains excellent texture and flavor even when very large. Roots are more elongated than a typical rutabaga and stand tall in the field with big healthy leaves….
Pisum sativum. Green Snow. 60 days. We were tired of short, bushy snow peas, so when we found this beauty from Peace Seeds, we were very excited. Bicolor purple flowers look lovely on vigorous vines that grow up to 8′ tall. The tender, green snow pea pods can grow to 7” and still be delicious….
Rumex acetosa. Perennial. A variety of garden sorrel with nice long, strap-shaped leaves. Good color and flavor all winter. Tolerates dry spells. Extremely hardy and perfect for the permaculture or gourmet garden. We like it added as a small part in salad mixes and sauces, and it is used in sorrel soup, of course. Collected…
Glycine max. Green. 75 days. A good choice for early and/or short-season edamame production. Unlike many soybeans, Envy starts the season very vigorously in our cool spring soil. Plants grow to 2′ with an upright growth habit. Delicious as edamame, the green seeds can also be cooked as a dry bean if harvested before they…
Spinacia oleracea. 45 days. Glossy, thick, heavily savoyed, succulent leaves can get large while still maintaining a good, sweet flavor.
