Maia Seed Order!

We are getting ready to order our seeds, and invite you to join with us so we can have really low prices!

IMPORTANT! Seed potatoes, onion starts, live plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, chilis, etc.) do go very quickly this time of year, so you will want to order them right away if you can, even if you want to take some time to plan out the rest of your garden or farm order later.

All prices include delivery with your regular TwoInTents CSA bucket or sack, and all prices are member prices (non-members pay approximately 1/3 more).

And remember, if you don't have the labor to establish your garden this year, Maia offers affordable labor assistance for Class 4 members! So go nuts!

Maia accepts paypal (credit cards) for a fee, check, cash or money orders...

Let us know if you have questions!
