Seeds and planting stock are the building blocks of any rotation, and special care must be taken to ensure that your seeds are sourced and your planting stock is propagated in keeping with organic regulations. Another key feature of most vegetable operations is greenhouse production, particularly in northern climes. Quality seed and healthy planting stock grown out in a responsibly managed greenhouse is the best head start you'll get against the challenges that await out in the field.
