Join us for Spring Organic Market and Plant Sale on Saturday, May 9, the day before Mother’s Day and the start of the growing season!

Saturday, May 9, 2026
10am – 3pm EDT
Kutztown, PA

This event will feature Rodale Institute’s certified organic vegetable, herb, and flower starts—favorites such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, lavender, and zinnias. And this year, we’re expanding our selection of ornamentals and perennials designed to attract pollinators and add beauty and diversity to your garden.

Visitors can shop for their seedlings in and around the greenhouse, where our resident plant experts will be on hand to answer questions and offer suggestions, and can pick up their plants using our convenient drive-through option—new this year! Attendees can also browse goods from local vendors, purchase lunch or snacks from visiting food trucks, and enjoy self-guided walking tours of the farm.

Please note: Plant sale shoppers are encouraged to bring their own carts, as Rodale Institute’s carts will
be in limited supply.

There is no admission fee or registration required for this event.
