<p>Farmer and Chef of Friendship Farms and Fare, posing at First Farm nursery and sprouting station with seed test of famous Calabrese Broccoli, from 2010, 2011, 2012. Note, the germination rate for seeds from each of the three seasons is 95-99%. This is an exceptionally high germination rate, but not uncommon for seeds from our unique broccoli, which is fully acclimated to the Florida Gulf Coast, Springs Coast Watershed. Seeds are available for $4 for 30 seeds. Friendship Farms and Fare promotes the use of locally produced and harvested organic seeds for all gardeners. We strongly encourage all gardeners who care about the environment to use their own saved seeds, and if seeds must be acquired always to look for seeds saved by local growers. Please make purchases from non-local sources a last resort, and please do not acquire seeds from industrial seed producers sold at Big Box Home and Garden outlets.</p>
