Annual Spring Seedling Sale
For over a decade, MAP has opened its farm doors for this spring celebration and community-building event in support of Buffalo's local food system. More than a Seedling Sale, our intention is to empower community members with the resources they need to connect with the land and grow their own food in an urban setting.
This year, join us for two dates:
Saturday, May 2nd 10am - 2pm
'Second Chance' Sale: Sunday, May 3rd 10am - 12pm*
*Please note: The 'second chance' sale on Sunday will ONLY offer remaining seedlings at a discounted price— for free soil testing, vendors and activities, join us for the full day sale on Saturday!
About MAP Seedlings
Grown with care on MAP's Urban Farm by our Farm Team with help from Growing Green Youth, shop a diverse selection of vegetable, flower and herb seedlings including culturally significant crops and heirloom varieties, many of which are grown from saved seeds regionally adapted to grow in our Zone 6A climate.
Seedlings start at $4 each, and are SNAP/EBT eligible.
Remaining seedlings will be available at the 'Second Chance' Sale with a discount on Sunday, May 3rd.
