🍂 FALL PLANTING WINDOW IS CLOSING + NEW VARIETIES

Hello, garden family! 👋
Fall planting season is in full swing and there's a lot happening at
WNC Urban Farms this week! 🍂

⏰ FALL PLANTING WINDOW IS CLOSING - DON'T WAIT!

If you're planning a fall harvest, now is the time to act! Most cool-season crops need to be established before temperatures drop, so every week counts. Check your local first frost date and make sure you have at least 90 days of growing season ahead. 🌱

THIS WEEK WE'RE EXCITED TO BRING BACK TWO FALL VARIETIES TO OUR SHOP:

🥬 LEEK - Very Limited Availability!
We have just a handful of leek seedlings available this week - a slow-growing, elegant allium that rewards patient growers with beautiful, mild flavor. These won't last long!

🥬 KOHLRABI - Limited Edition, Available for a Few Weeks Only!
This wonderfully quirky vegetable takes 50-60 days to mature - so if you want to enjoy it this fall, now is the time to get it started! Crisp, sweet and incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Available for a few weeks only - don't miss it!

💡QUICK NOTE - the urgency applies mainly to longer-growing varieties like brassicas, squash and kohlrabi, leek, celery..
Lettuces, greens and herbs can be started later in the season as well - we'll keep those in stock for you all fall long! 🌿

💜 COMING BACK IN SEPTEMBER: PURPLE MIZUNA!
Get ready for one of the most stunning greens we've ever offered. Purple Mizuna is coming back in September!
Here's what makes it truly special: as the chilly fall nights arrive, the purple color actually deepens and intensifies, making it even more beautiful as the season progresses.
Its vibrant purple pigment comes from anthocyanins - the same powerful antioxidant found in blueberries - known to support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. Beauty and nutrition in one stunning plant! 💜

🌱 KNOW WHERE YOUR FOOD COMES FROM


By now you've probably heard about the nationwide Cyclospora outbreak - nearly 23,000 cases across 47 states, linked to store-bought iceberg lettuce and bagged salad mixes imported from Mexico. Leafy greens, spring mixes and mesclun lettuce have been at the center of past outbreaks too.



At WNC Urban Farms, it's just the two of us - Josef and Lenka - personally tending every single seedling by hand in our clean, controlled greenhouse in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

When you order from us, you know exactly where your food comes from, who grew it, and how. No imported produce, no mystery supply chains, no parasites. Just clean, fresh food grown with organic and non-GMO seeds, zero synthetic pesticides, and lots of love. 💚

That's the whole point of what we do - and we're proud to help you take control of what you put into your body!

And if you've been thinking about investing in a Tower Garden - there's never been a better time. 🌱

🌿 SPINACH & RADICCHIO ARE BACK IN STOCK!

We've been waiting for the right moment and it's here - cooler nights mean spinach can now be successfully grown. Fresh, healthy spinach seedlings are back in our shop and ready to thrive in your garden or Tower Garden! 🌱

A QUICK NOTE - while temperatures are cooling here in the mountains of Western NC, some parts of the country are still experiencing summer heat. Occasionally spinach seedlings can arrive a little stressed from the journey - but don't panic! Give them a day or two to recover in a cool spot and they'll bounce right back. We pack every order with care and your satisfaction always comes first - so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns. 💚

🥬 ALSO BACK: RADICCHIO - LIMITED EDITION!

Radicchio is one of those special varieties that takes patience and time to grow - 65 to 90 days to form a beautiful head, which is why we only have it available for a few weeks. If you've been wanting to try this stunning, slightly bitter Italian green - don't wait!
Once it's gone, it's gone for the season. 🌱

Did you know you can mix and match our mint varieties with Lemon Balm for the freshest mojito you've ever had - straight from your own garden?

🌿 Spearmint - the classic mojito mint, bright and refreshing.
🌿 Licorice Mint - a sweet, anise-kissed twist on the classic.
🌿 Peppermint - bold and cooling, perfect for a stronger mint punch.
🍋 Lemon Balm - a citrusy, mellow complement to lime that takes mojitos to the next level.

Grow them together, mix them in your glass, and enjoy! 🍹

A little heads up - these are the last new varieties we'll be adding this season. In August we shift to fall crops, starting with brassicas, so enjoy these summer beauties while they last!
All grown with organic & non-gmo seeds, zero synthetic pesticides, and lots of love. 💚
