Hunts Brook Farm’s Annual Seedling Plant Sale
Hunts Brook Farm’s Annual Seedling Plant Sale returns for a three-day celebration of gardening season, offering locally grown vegetable plants, herbs, flowers, and fruit-bearing varieties at Hunts Brook Farm. For gardeners across southeastern Connecticut, the annual sale has become something of a spring tradition, marking the unofficial start of the planting season as visitors arrive looking for healthy starter plants grown organically. Rows of seedlings, fresh greenery, and early-season farm atmosphere transform the property into a destination for both experienced gardeners and first-time growers eager to get their gardens underway.
The sale focuses on practical garden favorites alongside more unique varieties, giving shoppers opportunities to browse vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruiting plants selected for home gardens and backyard growing. Hunts Brook Farm has built a reputation for sustainable farming practices and community agriculture, and the annual plant sale reflects the same hands-on, local farming spirit. Organizers are also offering mushroom logs for guests interested in growing their own shiitake mushrooms at home, adding another layer to the event for gardeners looking to experiment beyond traditional planting beds.
