By working with nature, we cultivate nutrient-dense food that nourishes both the land and our bodies.

It’s that time of year again! Spring is in the air and now is best time to start thinking about planting strawberries.
Spring planted everbearing strawberries start producing after 6-8 weeks and keep going until the first hard frost.
Go beyond organic with our all natural everbearing Seascape and Albion strawberry starter plants.
We sell only these varieties because they are exceptionally high yielding plants that produce plump luscious berries all summer long and into late fall.
Our RainCoast Farm Seascape and Albion Everbearing All Natural Strawberry Plants are grown in our specially formulated Living Soil using All-Natural Liquid Bio-Fertilizers. We have thousands of this year’s fresh plants in stock and won’t run out!

Starter Plants
Our starter plants are grown in living soil made from worm castings, compost and a few other secret ingredients including fermented alfalfa fertilizer.
Living soil is the newest trend in organic gardening which focuses on creating and nurturing a diverse dynamic community of soil life in your garden.
When you transplant starter plants grown in our living soil, it infuses your garden with a unique population of beneficial soil life organisms.
These soil ‘super heroes’ help unlock the fertility of your soil and can be used to quickly transform material such as kitchen scraps, weeds and other organic wastes into plant nutrients and plant growth promoting compounds.
As a result, plants started in our living soil are super healthy, extremely lush and exceptionally tasty. Our strawberry plants give abundant yields for 3 years before needing to be replaced.
You know RainCoast Farm promotes organic regenerative climate-smart farming techniques and many of you have visited my farm to buy plants and learn about living soil and growing sustainable, organic food for your friends and family.
Our bare root strawberry plants this season are everbearing varieties that start producing in late spring and go all summer and then really kick into high gear in the fall producing exceptional yields with cooler temperatures.
