(Picture) Large Brown Eggs: Our flock of Red Star chickens lay large to extra-large brown eggs.
They are fed conventional grain sold by Poulin Grains of Vermont. They are cage free, and now getting outside to forage. They are eagerly awaiting the grass turning green and for now eagerly take kitchen scraps and they peck happily whenever I add fresh leafy second cut hay to their coop.

Eggplant
- Black King: A fine hybrid eggplant from Takii in Japan, good for the main crop. A vigorous grower and high yielder suitable for both greenhouse and open-field cultivation. Shiny bulging 7" oval fruits. Resistant to excess heat.
- Pingtung: Long eggplant named for Pingtung county in Taiwan. Great for cooks who prefer to work with uniform slices. Vigorous stress-tolerant plants start producing early for a decent overall yield. Its light purple color is especially attractive if harvested before full maturity. As it approaches its full 11", its skin darkens but retains a pleasing sheen. Its sweetness will keep you coming back for more.

Pepper Seedlings Anaheim

Peppers - Hot:
- Jalapeno,
- Red Ember Cayenne: Tremendous flavor on first bite, with warm heat that lingers. Thick enough for a bit of crunch when eaten fresh, but thin enough to dry easily. Just enough heat to satisfy "pepper heads"—who can eat the peppers whole—but mild enough to slice thinly onto a salad. Makes excellent powder, flakes, and hot sauce. Also nice fried or in stir fries. Matures early.

Peppers - Sweet Mini Bells: The 2-inch mini bell peppers come in red, green, chocolate and yellow. These little peppers are good for snacking, stuffing or pickling. Plants produce an abundance of tiny colorful orbs, easy to grow and so rewarding.

(Pictured) Squash - Summer, Zephyr: Distinctive, slender fruits are yellow with faint white stripes and light-green blossom ends. Harvest young at 4-6" for unusually delicious, nutty flavor and firm texture.

Tomatoes:
- Black Krim
- Juliet
- Plum Regal
- Rose de Berne: A Swiss heirloom and a Brandywine cousin, the depth of rich fruit flavor makes Rose de Berne Tomato great for sandwiches and, truly, everything else. Soft, translucent pink skin rarely cracks, even on the largest of the 4 to 6-ounce tomatoes. Rose de Berne is pure abundance once she starts producing and some Late Blight tolerance offers extra weeks of harvest even when disease arrives.

Tomatoes - Cherry
- Black Cherry
- Matt's Wild Cherry: Plants bear loads of intensely sweet, tart, and flavorful, ½ in. deep red cherry tomatoes. Plants are vigorous, disease-resistant, and sprawling. Supposedly a cultivar of the wild tomatoes growing in mexico. Indeterminate.
- Red Pearl: Tender and nearly seedless, with intermediate resistance to late blight. Fruits weigh 15-20 grams, and have good flavor and a meaty texture. Resists cracking and stores well on and off the vine. Tall, healthy plants. Intermediate resistance to late blight. Indeterminate - keeps growing like a vine.
- Super Sweet 100

Tomatoes - Slicing
- Goldie: Deep orange beefsteak fruits, frequently bi-lobed, average 16–20 oz. Often the first large tomatoes to ripen in the garden. Wait to harvest until it has a unique rosy blush. Indeterminate variety.

Zucchini Modena: Glossy dark green fruit. Slightly earlier than Raven. The very open upright plant habit ensures easy unscratched harvest and no squash dragging in the dirt. Mild nutty flavor and fine-grained texture add to Modena's refinement.
