Seedlings list

Like everything on our farm, we grow all our seedlings organically. We use Fort V potting soil from Vermont Compost Company in Montpelier. We buy most of our seeds from Johnny’s Selected Seeds or FedCo., both in Maine. Mulitpack (4 and 6 pack) seedlings are $3.00 and seedlings in 4 inch pots are $2.00.

These are the plants we sell:

Broccoli - Arcadia is a rugged, vigorous broccoli with mid-late maturity. The plants grow big with heavy, very firm, dark green, domed heads.

Cucumber - Marketmore begins bearing late but picks for a relatively long time. The cukes are long, slender, and dark green.

Eggplant - Black Bell is early and highly productive. The fruits are round, oval, medium-large, and glossy black with a green calyx.

Lettuce -
Red Sails is the slowest-bolting red leaf lettuce. It stays mild tasting for a long time without bitterness.
Waldman’s Dark Green is the standard green leaf lettuce. It is dark green with frilled, ruffled leaves for a well-bunched head.
Jericho is a tall, bright light green romaine lettuce. Great tasting.

Melon - Edonis is a French chartenais type cantaloupe. The fruit is small, sweet, summery tasting. We grow these because they are simply the best tasting melon we have ever found!

Peppers (Sweet)
Labrador is a yellow bell pepper. The peppers come early, and they are medium large with a sweet and fruity flavor. The plant is compact.
Gourmet is an orange bell pepper. The peppers are medium large and very blocky. The plant is strong, compact, and plentiful.
Red Ace is a red bell pepper. It is extra-early and very productive – nearly every flower produces a pepper. The glossy green fruits turn red early.

Peppers (Hot)
Andy is a slender, smooth cayenne pepper that turns bright red and dries beautifully.
Early Jalapeño produces sausage-shaped, blunt fruits that mature early. The peppers start dark green and then begin to change to red.

Summer Squash
Revenue is a virus tolerant green zucchini. The fruits are medium green and slightly tapered.
Sebring is a yellow summer squash with beautiful, golden, cylindrical fruits. The plant produces abundantly and has some tolerance to powdery mildew.

Winter Squash
Table Acorn is a nutty, moderately sweet squash with a nice “black-green” skin.
Burgess Buttercup has dry, sweet, rich flavored golden flesh with dark green skin. It is excellent for winter storage
Waltham Butternuts are the yellow-tan big squash. Its flesh is smooth textured with a unique, sweet flavor. Waltham Butternut was an All America Selections in 1970, and it is still the most widely grown butternut.

Tomatoes
Big Beef has early, flavorful, big globe-shaped red fruit with full flavor.
Celebrity is a good tasting, mid-season tomato with mid to large globe-shaped, firm red fruit. Celebrity was an All-America Selection in 1984.
New Girl has taste that “tops the charts.” The fruits are medium sized, red, and plentiful.
Sun Cherry is a very sweet, small, red cherry tomato.
Sun Gold is a major Old Shaw Farm favorite. We love the taste and color – a bright tangerine orange cherry tomato with a fantastic fruity flavor, exceptionally sweet. The plant is vigorous and easy to grow.

Herbs - We have basil, dill, and thyme.
