Best selection of tomatoes, peppers, herbs + supplies to grow them. Advice and classes provided all year long. Online info is fabulous.
Best place for tomato and many vegetable starts. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Huge variety of heirloom tomato starts.
A wide selection of tomato plants of all sizes and colors! (The pics are my tomato harvest of previous years from Love Apple Farm's tomato plants.) There are also a good but smaller selection of pepper and eggplant plants.
In addition to the plants, there are instructions on how to grow tomatoes and amendments to help you have a great gardening year.
I've been buying tomato plants from them for about four years, and they're always the best tomatoes. The website has tons of information to help you be a successful backyard gardener. And what I really love are the detailed descriptions so you know that if you live on the coast, you should grow the smaller tomatoes. Thankfully I have a big patch in my backyard that gets a lot of sun, so I grow mostly beefsteaks.
I've also taken two classes from their instructional center. Both exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to taking more classes.
The owner, Cynthia, is really nice, and has set up a neat place.
Thank you to the lady who gifted me my tomato plant as an act of kindness! You made my entire summer!!!
