Johnson's Backyard Garden is excited to offer certified-organic heirloom vegetable transplants ready to plant in your spring garden!

Heirloom seeds have been saved from generation to generation and are renowned for their superior taste and beauty. Many of the varieties available are listed in Slow Food's Ark of Taste and are in danger of extinction. By promoting and eating these heirlooms, you help ensure they remain in production and on our plates.

We're also selling transplants online and at the Wednesday Triangle Market as well as the Saturday Downtown and Sunset Valley Farmers' Markets during this time period.





Spring Potluck - Saturday, April 10 from 4 p.m. 'til dark

Johnson's Backyard Garden will host its annual Spring Potluck on Saturday, April 10! Join us for live music, great food, tractor rides around the farm, and lots of fun activities for the kids. We truly believe our CSA members are some of the best cooks in Austin, so come hungry to this locavore heaven, with tons of locally-raised and prepared dishes. We're ready for this year's potluck to be the best one yet!
