Welcome to Butternut Farm

Welcome to the 2009 season!

Tim and Noreen O’Connell have been farming at our Butternut Farm for 34 years.  We begin our season in May with sales of bedding and vegetable plants and end with cut your own Christmas trees.

Our flower, herb, and vegetable plants are grown in large cells to help prevent transplant shock.  We look for bedding plants that are uncommon as well as standard favorites and we grow many Proven Winners. We grow many varieties of vegetables and herbs for patio gardens as well as mixed six-packs for family gardens.  We also grow a variety of hanging flower baskets and patio tomato containers. 

Our “Cut Your Own” flower garden is a customer favorite. Men, women and children, who always are welcome, come to enjoy the cutting experience.   Many visit weekly.  Entire wedding parties often come, giving their celebration a personal touch. Mothers of the brides often fill their homes with flowers for that special occasion.

Of course, we grow great vegetables.  We grow an array of heirloom and ethnic varieties as well as standard favorites. These are listed later on this site.  Our goal is to have the first ripe tomatoes in town!

Every year we experiment with new varieties of vegetables and flowers.  Many customers visit us for those specific varieties that they cannot find from other growers.  We continue to learn much from our customers who share some of their best recipes as well.
