Every year we order as a community onion and leek plants to save money and promote local growing.

Onions and leeks can be ordered through the CC Extension office starting Tuesday, February 4 through Tuesday, February 18.

All onions and leeks come in bunches for 50 – 75 plants.  You can order ¼ bunch, ½ bunch or full bunches.  We aggregate the orders together.  The cost is usually less than $4 for a bunch of onions and less than $13 for a bunch of leeks.

Please stop in, call, or email your orders to me.  Make sure that I reply to say I have your order.  If I don’t reply, I don’t have your order.
