Perry Hill Farm wants to make gardening easier for you. Most of our plants are grown in a CowPot ready to be put into the dirt. No need to pull the plant from the pot to disturb it's roots....you plant the whole thing! CowPots are made nearby in Connecticut and of course, the plants are grown right here at Perry Hill!
For more information on Cow pots please click on through to their website. CowPots
From CowPots website:
Created by two ingenious dairy farmers, CowPots are a revolutionary pot made with 100% renewable composted cow manure. CowPots are manure-fiber based seed starter pots, which allow for unrestricted root growth creating stronger, healthier plants. These earth-friendly "pots you plant" are an exciting high-performing alternative to plastic and peat pots.
The CowPot manufacturing process removes all weeds, pathogens and odor. All that's left is the natural fiber and goodness of manure: the perfectly plantable pot!
Perry Hill Farm does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. All of our products are grown organically. We have signed the NOFANY farmers pledge and we are working towards our certification with the USDA. Most of the purchased seeds are open-pollinated heirloom varieties. They were purchased from Turtle Tree Seeds or Hudson Valley Seed Library and many are certified organic and grown sustainably. Some seeds and plants were propagated at Perry Hill Farm.
