The Sideroad Farm Organic Seedling Sale is on again in 2025! We grow a wide selection of garden favourites, specifically selected and tested by the farmers at Sideroad Farm. Our seedlings are organic, plastic-free (we use compostable pots and painstakingly hand stamp thousands of wooden tags) and loved by many home gardeners in the area. BYOBox (we’ll have some boxes available but tend to run low throughout the sale).

The seedling sale starts Thursday May 8th at 10 am and is open during store hours at the Sideroad Farm Store (Thursday 10-6, Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-4) until seedlings are sold out. We have many many plants started this year so there is no need to all rush and line up on May 8th. We will NOT be selling plants online this year and we can not reserve plants for you. The seedlings are available only for in-person shopping. If you would like to come during less busy times, we recommend coming late afternoon/evening. For accessibility purposes there is a small set of steps down to the little plant shop and the ground is somewhat uneven as you walk up and down the rows of plants. We are happy to help you shop for plants…please let us know if you require assistance.

In general we recommend that plants that are not cold tolerant (peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, ground cherries, squashes, cukes, melons, basil and some flowers) are NOT planted until on or after Victoria Day long weekend. Watch the weather forecast and if there is a chance of temperatures below 5C, hold off planting.

We have a large selection of organic and open pollinated seeds available in store from Hawthorn Farm as well as carry started strawberry plants from Ravenwood Farm in Owen Sound.

We also carry some essential gardening supplies: potting soil, container mix, certified organic compost, organic fertilizers and other soil amendments.
