Cruising Climate Pop-up Shop
Cruising Climate LLC will be at the Mutiny Bay and Langley pick-up locations for Whidbey Island Grown! To celebrate the first week of Plant Sales through the Food Hub, Cruising Climate will be there to answer your gardening questions and provide info about their garden coaching and landscape design supports.
Plant Starts Order Period on the Food Hub
Buy locally grown plant starts nurtured by Whidbey Island’s finest farmers!
Benefits of buying local starts:
Varieties are hand selected by skilled farmers who are familiar with our unique climate
In many cases plants are started from saved seeds from the most resilient, resistant, successful, high-yielding and delicious plants from the previous harvest
Our farmers use traditional, regenerative farming practices that prepare your starts for your own organic garden (as opposed to store-bought starts that were raised with the crutch of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides)
Buying local and supporting regenerative farming practices is healing to the earth, the local economy, plus human & animal well-being!
The order period for plant starts is now open! Confirm your order by Tuesday 4/23 to pick up on Friday 4/26!
