Choosing a packet size
- A 50-seed packet is perfect for home gardeners and small beds or raised planters. It suits those trialing a new variety or growing a few successions for household use.
- The 500-seed packet fits larger home gardens, community plots, or small market growers planning staggered plantings. It provides enough seed for succession sowing and backups.
- The 1000-seed packet works well for serious growers and small farms aiming for steady harvests across multiple beds. Ideal for CSA shares or regular market presence.
- The 5000-seed packet is best for commercial market growers, farm stands, or larger community projects. Great for high-density production, multiple plantings, and larger acreage.
