Save the Date: SeedLing Saturday 2026 is coming May 9th!

SeedLing Saturday is our much-loved annual event, held before the long weekend each May, where farmers, gardeners, and community members gather to celebrate the joys of spring and kick off the growing season together! This event is the perfect opportunity to pickup local seeds and seedlings to get in the ground at the end of May.
