Wholesale Grower of USDA Certified Organic Herb and Vegetable Plants
Locally Grown on the North Fork of Long Island
WHOLESALE SOURCE OF Certified Organic Plants
Marion Gardens, Organic Herbs is a USDA-certified organic wholesale grower based in East Marion, Long Island New York. We started our business in 1987, and in 2007 received our certification. We supply garden centers with over 300 varieties of certified organic herb and vegetable plants.
Addressing the Demand for Genuine Organic Products
Mega farms have expanded into organic growing projects, and this has clouded the purity of what can be called “organic.” So now more than ever, consumers have a keen desire to know the source of their “organic” produce. Families want to know what they eat and how it is grown. We found that the best way to assure them is to “grow your own organic plants.”
Making Our Company Distinct
To distinguish ourselves as genuine growers of organic food, we have become a member of the “The Real Organic Project.” It is a grassroots venture by small-family organic farms that are trying to return to the old concept of knowing your own grower.
We Adhere to These Requirements
In our greenhouses, we use only organic compost and fertilizers, non-treated seeds, beneficial insects, and approved sprays for production. We also record every input and track every plant from beginning to end. In addition, we pay several thousand dollars for our certification, which includes an annual inspection of our records and greenhouses.
No Comparison to How We Grow
So while conventionally grown plants may say that they are "naturally grown” and “non-GMO,” there truly is no comparison to what we grow. Even our lavender plants, which we do not label as organic, are grown the same way as the rest of our plants.
