Spring is looming not far away! Get your plants for your garden from Eighth Day Farm. We start all our plants from seed and nurture them in our greenhouses. Certified organic seed is used when possible, there may be an asterisk* by a variety name indicating that the seed is non-organic.
With your plant comes the soil and it’s important to know what you’re putting into your garden. Your pot will contain Seed Starter 101 from Dairy Doo as well as sphagnum peat moss and our own compost. We use the same mix for our own crops that are transplanted into the field.
Pickup Days
We will have three pickups at the Growth Center, which is located at 709 Pine ave, Holland.
- May 3rd from 3-7pm

You’ll decide on your pickup day when you order. You may also choose to pickup at the Holland Farmer’s Market on May 20th, 8am-1pm. We will have additional plants available for sale at all pickups and at the Holland Farmer’s Market. Don’t depend on buying on-site to get your whole garden in order, though. We often sell out of the popular crops through pre-sales.

A note on planting
The month of May can be hit or miss when it comes to temperature. Depending on the year and your crop, you might want to hold your plants indoors a little while to ward them from the bitter cold. Brassicas (kale, brussels, cauliflower…) can take the cold with no big issue. With other plants, you might want to wait until temperatures are consistently 50°F at night to plant them out. Using a floating row cover or some other insulating method will allow you to transplant earlier.
