  • Wright-Locke Farm Online Seedling Sale

    Each year Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester sells organic seedlings during spring to help you start your gardens off on the right foot. Think herbs, peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, and more. Normally we sell these seedlings during our opening Spring Fling Weekend — this year we are making our seedlings available to order online so we can avoid creating crowds and spread everyone’s pickups out. 

    • Check our website, https://wlfarm.square.site/ for what is available and what is “coming soon,” then place your order via credit card
    • Please disregard the message at checkout that tells you your order will be ready the Friday of the week you order (oh the woes of website limitations).
    • Watch for your confirmation e-mail. It will have a link for you to signup for a pickup time-slot in May.
    • The week of your pickup, we will send you a reminder email with more details on how to conduct your pickup safely and easily.
