Hello folks, we wanted to let you know that we are going to be joining the Painted Post Farmers' Market on Saturdays this season! We will be there starting this week, with the exception of Saturday May 31st when we are going to be at the Hector Plant Sale. This week we will have a selection of potted herbs, rhubarb, gooseberries and a few spider plants. However, in the weeks ahead we plan on having more potted fruiting plants, perennial flowers, houseplants, fresh cut flowers and possibly some excess tomato starts. We also are able to bring pre-orders of Ort Family Farm products (fruit trees, fruit, jams & jellies, herbal teas, and catnip products) by request only for those who are unable to make it to the Corning Farmers Market on Thursdays or an appointment on the farm.

We have been pulling another round of plants from the nursery the last few days! These little beauties will all hopefully be making their way to the Ithaca Garden Fair and Plant Sale on Friday, May 16th at the Ithaca Farmers Market Pavilion from 1 to 7 pm.

We apologize for the last minute announcement but we will be joining the Homestead Blessings Vendor Market tomorrow in Caton! We will have a selection of potted herbs, dried flowers and a few fresh bouquets available for purchase.

Hi folks, we wanted to share with you the potted plants we have available for purchase in the nursery this week. Our full selection is still a few weeks away from being available for purchase and this is partly due to a nasty upper respiratory infection setting in 🤧. However, if there's something in particular you are looking for, please send us a message to get you on the list to be contacted when it comes available. ☀️
