Welcome to Becki’s Bounty

Special 2023 announcement regarding big changes.

More changes are happening at Becki’s Bounty.

Greetings all,

I am guessing that many of you may be in the planning stages for your home gardening activities. As you may know I have for many years started heirloom tomato plants with my saved seed for sale to local gardeners. This spring I will continue my cautious approach to full retirement by ending my spring tomato plant sale.

I have consulted at length with a local small farm that is most inline with my growing practices.  They are ready to offer you a quality product for your garden. Little Farm will be expanding their tomato start production to accommodate Becki’s Bounty customers. Pre-ordering is available and they will also have other vegetable seedlings for sale. I will be sharing some of my saved seed with Little Farm so you can still get your favorite heirloom plants.

Find Little Farm on Facebook or through their address, littlefarmnc@gmail.com .

By the way, Becki’s Bounty is not shutting down completely. Look for another message for details on the new direction I am taking. Thanks for your loyal business all these years, I am confident Mary and Kiera at Little Farm will take good care of your plant needs. Let’s keep growing!

sustainable farming practices

  • Low till/no till technology preserves the natural integrity of the soil, reduces the use of

fossil fuels and supports a healthy ecology in the garden. 

  • Cover cropping reduces erosion, provides nitrogen to the soil, suppresses unwanted

plants (weeds!) and reduces the need for expensive fertilizers. 

  • Gravity fed rainwater storage and distribution reduces dependance on water and electric utilities.

  • Raised bed technology holds water in the garden, prevents runoff and uses water

resources efficiently .

  • Chemical free pest and disease control uses fabric row covers and encourages

beneficial insects, birds and animals. 

  • Ongoing composting returns all grass clippings and garden debris to beds for feeding

nutrients back into the soil.

  • Seed saving from open seeded varieties of vegetables, herbs and flowers preserves

heirloom seed stocks and reduces reliance on seed companies.

reduced carbon footprint


  • The 10 mile radius service area reduces the use of fossil fuels. The convenient location

in the neighborhood supports a growing number of customers who walk or bike 

to the garden for their purchases.

  • The passive solar greenhouse reduces the use of fossil fuels by providing heat to the

garden office during winter months. 

  • Paper bags and reusable waxed cardboard boxes have replaced single use plastic bags

and plastic crates for market sales.

  • Compostable corn-based cups have replaced plastic pots for the annual spring plant

sale.

  • Acceptance of wood chips from local arborists and hops from local breweries keeps

thousands of pounds of waste out of the landfill each year. 

  • Wooden seedling and pricking out boxes reduce the need for plastic cell packs for

growing seedlings. 

  • Black Soldier Fly technology reduces the kitchen waste from several households to

create edible larvae for chicken feed and keeps waste out of the landfill.


My goal is to work as closely as I can can from the footprint of the garden and reduce the use of inputs that create waste and hurt the environment.
