Using This Catalog

This catalog can be used for deciding what plants you want to get at the sale, and also for placing advance orders to be picked up at the sale.

Advance Ordering

There is a $5 processing fee on each advance order. We do this because a significant amount of work is involved pulling orders. This fee is added automatically to your total.
To make filling orders easier, orders must be in multiples of half a flat (9 plants). You can order 9, 18, 27, 36 etc. plants. This does not mean you need to order 9 of each variety you want, only that the total number of plants ordered needs to be a multiple of 9.
Advance orders must be placed online directly from the catalog.
We will accept up to 100 advance orders. Once we reach 100 orders, we will close down the ability to place orders, but you can still use the catalog as a resource for what will be offered.
Pick up your order on Saturday May 10th between 10 am and 12 noon at Dawn Farm, 6633 Stony Creek Road in Ypsilanti, 48197. This is the only day and time orders may be picked up. If you cannot pick up your order by noon, please do not place an advance order!

Determinate vs Indeterminate Tomatoes

Determinate tomatoes are varieties that grow to a fixed mature size and ripen all their fruit in a short period (usually about two weeks). Once this first flush of fruit has ripened, the plant will begin to diminish in vigor and will set little to no new fruit.
Indeterminate tomato varieties also continue to set and ripen fruit throughout the growing season until frost kills the plants. They will give you a slow and steady supply of tomatoes, rather than one large harvest.
Most of the varieties we sell are indeterminate unless stated otherwise.
