ABOUT OUR SEEDLINGS

We offer healthy, organic plants raised right on our farm in Richmond. We give our seedlings the very best nutrients and growing conditions so that they become strong, productive plants for your garden. 

We offer varieties that we have trialed over the years and come to trust on our own farm and do well in our short Maine growing season. We use certified organic compost-based media from Living Acres in New Sharon, ME and non-GMO seed from Maine seed companies: Fedco and Johnny’s Selected Seeds, along with a few other seed companies like High Mowing & Seed Savers Exchange. 

Our seedlings are certified organic through MOFGA Organic Certification Services. For more information on MOFGA's certification requirements visit: https://mofgacertification.org/

How It Works: 

Preordering helps to ensure availability and customers that order over $60 of seedlings before April 1st receive 5% off their orders. Many pre-order seedlings are grown to order so payment is due upfront. If for some reason we run short on variety that you order, we will inform you of the shortage, offer a substitute if we have one, or your money back. **Customers with SNAP can use their EBT cards to pay for veggie and herb seedlings and get 1/2 price! 

The earlier you order, the better the selection will be. Ordering early helps to ensure that we seed enough of the things we start early in March, like peppers, onions, tomatoes and flowers so we are more likely to be able to fill your order. 

1. Fill out the above order form with the quantities that you want of each item. 
2. Once we receive your order, we will send a Purchase Order to confirm your order and the total. We recommend that you keep track on a piece of paper/document for your own records. 
3. Please check the box for substitutes if you will accept a substitute if an item is unavailable. 
4. On the order form, select the day that you want to pick up your seedlings. 
5. Order over $60 of seedlings before April 1st and you get 5% off your order! Collections are not discounted but do count towards your $60 order. Once you submit your order we will send you an order total showing your 5% discount. 
6. You can write us a check and mail it to us: Tender Soles Farm: 453 Main St. Richmond, ME 04357. Payment is expected within one week of submitting your order. We will not be able to set aside your seedlings until we receive payment. 
7. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email us or call! 

 Ready-to-plant seedlings will be ready for pick up from our farm in Richmond: You will be able to choose from multiple dates in May to pick up your orders.
