EggPlant Urban Farm Supply

I’ve picked up garden plants, seeds, tools, canning supplies, homesteading books and yogurt culture here. Audrey and Leslie are wonderful and generously share their passion and knowledge for urban farming, gardening, cooking and treating those we love with respect including our four footed, winged, and feathered friends who sustain us. Trust them to supply you with plants and seeds that are grown to organic standards whenever possible and then provide a beautiful glass jar to house your bounty preserved at the end of the season. Don’t know how to do that? Sign up for one of their frequent classes.

Fantastic store with great people. I get most gardening/​farming supplies at reasonable prices and a great variety of books.

EggPlant is the store that my soul ventures to at night while I sleep. This, quite literally, is my very favorite place in town to spend money, and my only regret is that I don’t have more money to spend here.

I came to EggPlant for the first time in the winter. I wanted to start seeds under a grow light in my house so that I could transplant my own plants when the spring came. Leslie, the VERY helpful worker at EggPlant, not only helped me pick out my plants, but also guided me on equipment, equipment usage, and pointed me toward a couple of books and websites to make my adventure successful. And you know what? It was!
If you love gardening, need a gift for a friend who loves gardening, are a DIYer or know someone who is, EggPlant has everything. Mushroom growing kits. Winemaking kits. Cheesemaking kits. Kits to make kombucha tea. Seeds. Transplant plants. Books. CHICKENS! Ducks!
The feeling one gets in EggPlant is like the feeling one used to get as a child in a toy store. Just make sure that you have time to really look at everything — EggPlant carries a lot of merchandise, and isn’t the kind of place you can just buzz in and out of.
Visit. You’ll thank me.

I absolutely love this store. We have been frequenting Egg|Plant for about a year now and have bought our now grown and healthy chicks, backyard chicken supplies and literature, seeds, and other random urban farming supplies. I’ve been impressed time and time again with the friendly, helpful owners and staff.

Want to compost? Plant? Make yoghurt? Read? Raise chickens? You want it, they got it — in a cozy, beautiful place with friendly and super helpful people.

We visited EggPlant looking for cheesemaking supplies after reading a previous Unilocal review. Not only did we find what we needed to begin making our own camembert, but we also bought beautiful seed garlic bulbs and hinged canning jars.
The owners were very friendly, helpful and down to earth. The vibe in the store is as if you’ve walked into a friend’s house and can buy their stuff. We’ll definitely be back!

This store is awesome. They sell lots of interesting products to the aspiring homesteader. I bought a grow-​your-​own-​mushroom kit and have been snacking on oyster mushrooms ever since. If you buy the hinged canning jars at thrift stores/​garage sales, they sell rubber sealing rings for them — in addition to tons of canning equipment. They sell crocks for pickling, including some artisan clay crocks. They have classes for everything from beekeeping to cheesemaking to mushroom growing to chicken rearing and all the stuff in between. And they have edible garden stuff. Considering the size of the store, I’m really shocked by the breadth of products they provide.
Be prepared for this store to put tons of ideas in your head about all the new little projects you can start :)
They have a parking lot that is only accessible to customers on the weekend.

This place is amazing-​they have everything you need for your urban homestead. Tons of supplies for gardening-​equipment, seeds, plants, fruit trees & bushes, soil, pots, books, rain barrels, composters, watering systems. Everything for keeping chickens-​including the chicks (no need to mail order). Supplies for canning (Weck jars!), supplies for cheese making & pickling. There are a few decorative garden items-​I got a blue mason bee nest-​kind of like a birdhouse but for mason bees-​but most of the inventory is useful, practical, & down to earth. They have classes too-​chicken keeping, composting, growing mushrooms. We’ll be back again & again.

This place rocks! The staff there is incredibly knowledgeable, the store is packed with cool stuff you’ll never get anywhere else. Who thought you could buy everything you’d need to raise urban chickens too! I can get feed, plans for a chicken coop, lights and everything else. Also the staff knows everything about the products. Definitely check it out!

Thanks to Egg|Plant, I am about to make my own ricotta. I should give a hearty shout out to Blue Door and the hour wait that encouraged us to walk down the street and check out what was going on inside.
There was nobody there. The owner was out back tending the flats of herbs and lettuces and tomatoes you can buy and grow in your own back yard, or deck or kitchen.
She came in and chatted with us, but we already knew what we needed to know: This is a DIY haven for gardening, canning, growing.
We got the kit that has ingredients and supplies to make 10 batches of either ricotta or mozzarella. All you have to do is supply the milk.
Great gift, especially for kids, as you can learn how the salt and the citric acid interacts with the milk and turns it into the most beautiful thing in the world: CHEESE!
Oh, and if you are interested in composting, they have everything you would need – including feed for your worms.
But since I can’t eat worms, I will stick to the cheese.
