The 2021 Transplant Sale is underway! We are selling transplants from the JBG Greenhouses every Saturday from now until at least mid-May, or until we sell out. (We will update this page if we sell out.)

 

When: Saturdays! Feb 28 - mid-May (possibly later!) (9am-1pm)

 

Transplant sale is still on for May 15th. Come and get 'em!

50% off all transplants!

 

Where: 4008 River Road, Garfield, 78612

 

Make sure to use this address! Google may lead you to our other location. We will have our biggest selection of certified-organic transplants at this greenhouse sale, and will also be setting up a market stand so you can get some veggies, too! We will open all the doors to our large greenhouses, masks will be required, and social distancing procedures will be enforced. Luckily, there is plenty of space to spread out in. Head to the sale to see each of the 108 varieties we've grown, but expect endless options of tomatoes (including paste, slicing, and cherry), as well as peppers, eggplant, herbs, greens, and more! We've only grown transplants that we know are well suited for Central Texas gardens.  We will also have a selection of organic compost, soil amendments, and farm-grade tomato cages and stakes available for purchase.

*Online Sales: Due to an overwhelming response, we have closed online orders or our transplants. We simply do not have the labor, nor truck space (!), required to put together and distribute the number of orders that were coming in. (If you already placed your order, we've already packed your order and will deliver it to your selected market!). Thank you for your understanding. Visiting the in-person sale is truly the best way to see the endless varieties we have and prepare for your best spring garden, yet! See you at the farm!

 



Each spring we usually have a large party at our farm where guests can meander through our fields and check out the spring crops. Although we're not having a big gathering this year, we still would love for you and your family to come out and enjoy the farm. Bring a picnic, and feel free to walk around with your family and stay awhile. There are 200 acres of vegetables for you to explore! Truly. When we first extended this invitation, we anticipated you strolling through lush and verdant fields, but of course things look a little grim, right now. Nonetheless, it’s a poignant reminder of the risk (and future reward!) inherent in farming (and gardening).

This one section of our greenhouse has a grid of copper coils underneath the concrete. The hot water heater in the corner pumps hot water through the coils, creating a heated floor. Transplants that wouldn't fit in the office or warehouse were covered in burlap, and then two layers of frost cover, and managed to stay nice and cozy. Photo snapped by Isabel.

Some closing thoughts: All of our transplants did not survive by chance, and some of the heroes of the past weeks are our staff that work in our greenhouse including Gianna, Adam, Isabel, and Ki who spend 2 frantic days moving thousands and thousands of transplants from our greenhouse into our office, warehouse, and the one greenhouse space with heated floors. Checkout this quick clip on our Instagram to see a shot of the warehouse, usually used to store soil amendments, empty cell trays, and equipment, covered floor to ceiling with trays of plants. Our office, a small 500 or so square feet, was also completely full of transplants. Computers and keyboards were draped with lettuce, and desks crammed with tomatoes. The transplants that couldn't fit in the office or warehouse were crammed into our one greenhouse space that has heated floors, that were then covered with burlap (leftover from seed potato deliveries) and two layers of frost cover that we luckily had hidden in a storage closet. Thank you Brenton for never getting rid of anything. Truly, the transplants looked as though nothing had happened, making our replanting and your spring gardens destined for success.

See you at the farm!

Many of you have been asking about the types of plants you can find at this year's sale. Below is a list of  vegetables we planted for this year's sale.  *This list, however, is just to give you an idea of the types of plants we have - we may sell out of a specific variety, and won’t necessarily be able to keep the page updated… so don’t hold us to it!* But! The good thing about our sale is that we truly have a bounty of options. If you had your heart set on growing big, juicy, slicing tomatoes this summer, we’ve got several options for you. We planted over 31 different varieties of tomatoes alone... and that was us practicing restraint!
