New Vendor
Knowlton Corner Farm, LLC
Located on 60 acres in the beautiful western mountains of Farmington, Maine, we are a diversified working farm which has been family owned & operated since 1997. We are best known for our famous pastry sticks, but yet there is so much more to our farm operation.

Over the years, our farming operation has changed, but today, we actively grow, cut and sell hay, provide riding lessons on our gentle mannered horses, manage vegetable gardens, raise chickens for farm fresh eggs, and operate a farm bake shop offering a variety of scrumptious pastries.
Our primary goal is to improve the lives of others around us by providing unique & interesting opportunities on our farm. We work quite a bit with disabled individuals, helping them to reach their full potential. We provide such individuals opportunities in our gardens and bake shop, or through interaction with our horses.

Hemp seedlings
Menu Group: Plants and Seeds

Vendor: LoveGrown
'BaOx F1' Hemp REGULAR (male and/or female) seedlings
$30/six-pack of regular hemp seedlings, MOFGA-certified seeds and soil, DACF-registered and approved varietal.

All adult Maine residents may have up to three mature female flowering hemp plants in their gardens with no licensing required. Growing more than three female hemp plants to maturity in a season requires a license, which may be obtained through the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.

This varietal has been proven over multiple seasons in Maine and produces multiple green and purple phenotypes of flowers at maturity.

This pack of seedlings will in all likelihood contain male plants as well as female plants. Monitor your plants closely for signs of sexual expression. Remove plants expressing pollen sacs instead of/in addition to white flower pistils, as these plants will produce seeds in your (and potentially your neighbor's!) final crop.
Hemp seeds
Menu Group: Plants and Seeds
Section: Seeds Herbs
Category: Hemp
Vendor: LoveGrown
'BaOx F1' MOFGA-certified/DACF-approved tested regular hemp seeds
See website for more details at www.lovegrownhemp.com
This regular seed lot has been field-tested for multiple seasons and grown by many of our farmer-partners. It's one of the varietals in our proprietary mixture of hemp flower extracts. You will find multiple desirable phenotypes in this seed lot, expressing green and purple colors and up to 14% CBD content at maturity.
This seed lot will produce both male and female individual plants. Males will produce pollen, and in turn will produce seeds in nearby female plants. To grow seedless female flowers only, remove/cut all male plants before the pollen sacs have opened.
**Responsible hemp farmers will check with their neighbors before growing hemp for a grain crop, since pollen can fly miles on the wind and pollinate other nearby female plants.

Fractal

Piracicaba (pictured) Fedco says: "About halfway between a heading broccoli and a broccoli raab, these succulent tender small green heads with very large beads make delightful raw eating. Very loose heads, lots of side shoots, sweet stalks. Even the fairly large leaves make excellent greens. Garden writer Barbara Damrosch found it equally delicious steamed."
