Hawthorn Farm Organic Seeds

03/13/2026

Last summer, we found an awesome surprise hidden amongst a patch of grey headed coneflower.

Before founding Hawthorn Farm, Kim fostered her love of plants while working on native tallgrass prairie restoration in southwestern Ontario for the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Ojibway prairie complex includes many provincially rare species of plants including dense blazing star, also known as liatris spicata.

Somehow (probably in bird poo) liatris found its way to Hawthorn and Kim’s keen eye was quick to spot it and save its seeds in the fall. Not only is this beautiful plant native to Ontario and happy to thrive within a perennial garden, it’s also a wonderful and unique option as a fresh or dried cut flower. We hope to keep working with this plant and offer it in our catalogue soon.

These dwarf tomato varieties are short, sturdy and super productive in containers as well as in the ground. Most produce large juicy slicers perfect for summer sandwiches. Lil Red N Black pumps out oodles of delicious cherries. Try these if your space is limited. I think you’ll love them. 🍅🍅🍅

Exquisite flavour and flesh that roasts into a creamy puddle of goodness make these French Grey Shallots favourites in the kitchen. We are bulking up our supply but will have some for sale on our website mid August.
