GROW YOUR OWN
PRE-ORDER TRANSPLANTS
We’re excited to share this new way to make sure that you get everything your family and your garden need!
Please place your order between 6 days and no less than 24 hours prior to your selected market. Pre-ordering is available for the Kenilworth Farmers Market, the Bel Air Farmers Market, the Takoma Park Farmers Market and for on farm sales. It is not necessary to order ahead of time, but it does make our system more efficient. At check-out, you will be required to choose your pick up site.
​
Spring transplants will be listed in the online store as they become available.
HOW IT WORKS
Calvert’s Gift Farm offers a wide variety of certified organic vegetable transplants for the home gardener. Plants are available from April through May at our Farmers Markets and directly from the farm (by appointment only). Look for us on Saturdays at the Bel Air Farmer’s Market, on Sundays at the Takoma Park Farmer’s Market, and on Tuesdays at the Kenilworth Farmer’s Market. In order to streamline our customer service at market, it is helpful if you create a shopping list prior to market. Better yet, place an order using our online system.
​
Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are sold in 3.5 inch pots @ $5 each. Herbs are sold in 2.5 inch pots @ $5 each. Discounts are available for large orders.
​
Once you begin your order, you will be prompted to choose a market location. Orders may be placed from 6 days to no later than 24 hours prior to the upcoming market of your choice. Your order will be bagged and waiting for you; unclaimed orders will be donated and no refund given. Not all of our products are available for pre-ordering but may be available as an add on at your pick up location.
SEASONAL TRANSPLANTS
TOMATOES
The majority of our tomatoes are heirloom varieties, meaning they have been kept through the generations for their unique flavor. Many of today’s hybrids have been bred to withstand shipping and storage, or to appear “round, red and regular” so as not to confuse the average shopper, or perhaps they produce in large quantities all at once so as to appease large production operations. Maybe some other traits, like a unique flavor, were lost along the way.
