Certified Organic Onion, Shallot & Leek Plants
Our organic onion plants are greenhouse-grown on small family farms in Wisconsin. Arriving in soil-filled containers, these live seedlings are partially hardened off.
📦 All plants ship in April ONLY.
✅ At checkout, choose the April shipping window that works best for you.
⭐ Note: Ship dates may shift slightly due to Mother Nature.
⚠️ Special Care: These plants are a favorite among gardeners and farmers for their abundant, high-quality harvests. They’re more delicate than sets and need a little extra attention when they first arrive. Because shipping can be stressful, monitor tracking, unpack immediately, give a light watering, and begin hardening them off slowly for the best planting success. Although they arrive pre-hardened, easing them back into outdoor conditions with a gentle, gradual re-hardening process ensures strong, healthy growth. If you have any issues, contact us right away—we’re here to help. With proper early care, you’ll be rewarded with exceptional onions, shallots and leeks.

I am new to growing —I want to plant garlic—which one is the easiest and do they all get planted in the Fall of the year? Please advise me what do I need to do and when to order—I prefer big garlic and the red stripe garlic—live in Summit, NY. Thank you, Ann Barbara
if I order asparagus crowns, can I specify ship date of late April or early May
Yes, we have several different shipping windows. It sounds like you would want to select the April 20 – May 3 option at checkout.
I did not have good luck with the garlic I planted in October 2024. Many of the bulbs were the size of a green onion and others were smaller than a ping-pong ball. The varieties were Nootka Rose and Early Italian – the beginner’s set for Zones 9 and 10. I thought I followed all of your instructions carefully (preparing the soil, fertilizing and watering) but I must have done something wrong. I live in San Francisco with a mild climate and lots of coastal fog. The average annual temperature is usually between 55 and 65 with no frost and very few warm or hot days. I ordered garlic for an October 2025 planting, but would like to know if you have any ideas why my harvest was so poor.
Hi Lynne, Have you tried fertilization soak before planting and that gives the cloves a good amount of nutrients! Here is the link for information on the fertilization soak
Living in Seattle’s Maritime climate and using your fertilizer and advice, I have great success with fall planted garlic. I enjoy cooking with leeks and shallots; but have not succeeded in growing them. Will you offer any advise here?
