The Coeur d’Alene Coop is devoted exclusively to open-pollinated and heirloom plant varieties that are especially well suited to our north Idaho growing conditions. And while we are not a “certified organic” grower, we always follow organic guidelines in our gardening practices. The seed-starting mix and potting soil we use are approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (ORMI), and we only use organic fertilizers (fish emulsion) on our plant starts. We start every plant from seed—often from certified organic seed stock. Each individual seedling is carefully transplanted by hand into a recyclable growing container, and all of our plants are hardened off so they are ready for planting in their new garden homes. We offer more than 80 varieties of high quality open-pollinated and heirloom vegetable starts and herbs. Our online Shop is open from January through April. Our most popular varieties sell out fast, so you’ll want to shop early. A $20 minimum purchase is required and your shopping experience is secure through PayPal (no account needed to purchase). Once your purchase is complete, The Coeur d’Alene Coop will contact you to schedule curbside pickup for your plant purchases in early May. Please note: We do not ship plants — local pickup only.
