This is the 6th year of Crown Point's spring Organic Plant Sale. We are delighted to once again supply high quality, certified organic plants for your home garden. All of our plants are grown at Crown Point without the use of any synthetic fertilizers or toxic pesticides. No hormones are used to either increase or decrease growth rates of our plants. We aim to let good soil, good timing, and spring sunshine do the work.

In the interest of promoting biodiversity and satisfying customers’ requests, this year’s expanded list of over 200 varieties offers gardeners an even wider selection of vegetables and flowers over last year. Tomatoes and peppers remain an emphasis, but a fine selection of eggplant, summer squash, melons, lettuce, cabbages, native flowers and more can be expected. Like last year’s sale, unique and delicious heirlooms will be a focus. Most of the Slow Food USA 's Ark of Taste vegetables will again be available. The Ark of Taste vegetables, chosen for their culinary and cultural values, seek to protect our inherited agricultural diversity. Some hybrids will be available, though these will be limited to those varieties we would rather not live without.

Major credit cards will be accepted for plant sale purchases.
