Love Apple Farm's 2009 Tomato Seedling sale dates: March 14 through May 31 (or while supplies last). Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For those who absolutely, positively cannot make those sale times, a special appointment can be made by emailing Cynthia, but a minimum order of $50 applies.
Tomato plants are only available for pick-up at the farm, located at 9299 Glen Arbor Road, Ben Lomond, CA. Tomatoes in small pots are $3 each, and $5 each in large pots.
Please remember, that these are live plants, and stuff happens! On occasion, germination is low, demand is high, other factors thwart production, and you may not always get the varieties that you want. If you are hankering for something specific, email Cynthia shortly before you plan to come out, to ensure I've got the varieties you are looking for.
