I’ve been spoiled by Fiona’s chard and can no longer eat grocery store bought chard. Metchosin farm is a magical seed bank with some of the most unique and carefully created/birthed vegetables and fruits. If you live in the PNW her seeds will be the best thing you ever grow in your garden.

My seeds arrived less than a week after ordering, and so far everything I’ve planted is sprouting beautifully. I have every confidence my family will be feasting like royalty from our garden this summer. Thank you metchosin farm!
