Thyme

Collection: Thyme

Thyme can be direct seeded outdoors when the soil is warm or started indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. Lightly press tiny seeds into moist soil and cover very lightly with screened soil or fine vermiculite. Water sparingly as seedlings prefer dry conditions. Once the plants have a few sets of leaves, pinch or shear them back to encourage branching. Harvest leaves from new growth from midsummer on. Tastes great fresh or dry. Wonderful bee plant.

About Hawthorn Farm

Hawthorn Farm began in 1996 on a kitchen table with a single-page catalogue of organic seeds and a dream.

Today, we offer several hundred organic, open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seed varieties to other farmers and gardeners across Canada.

Many seed companies simply resell imported seed from around the world. On our Canadian farm, we grow, harvest, test, and package seeds using organic practices that enrich soil and protect ecosystems.

Most of our seeds are produced right here, either on our own farm or by our local network of small growers. Varieties unsuited for producing excellent seed in our climate (zone 4 and 5) are carefully sourced from trusted growers in other regions.

Every packet reflects rigorous standards and a deep respect for the land. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Seeds are more than something to sell, they’re a way to connect.

Each summer we open our farm for workshops and tours, sharing the craft of seed saving.

We support schools, nonprofits, and community groups with seeds and knowledge, believing that communities grow stronger by sharing resources.

Good food starts with exceptional seed.
