VEGETABLE TRANSPLANTS
Headstart Nursery is one of the leading suppliers of vegetable transplants on the west coast. We produce nearly 1 billion conventional and organic vegetable transplants every year, including watermelon, bell pepper, celery, cauliflower, lettuce, and many other crops.
With multiple locations throughout Northern California, the Salinas Valley, and the Coachella Valley, we are able to provide superior plants and service year-round. For over 40 years, everything we grow has been “Rooted in Quality.” Contact Us to learn more!
Extras, Extras!
Although most of our vegetable transplants are sown-to-order for large commercial growers, we also post a weekly Availability list of extra plants that are available by the tray.
Vegetable AvailabilityHow to Order
Most Headstart Nursery vegetable transplant orders (except for Availability orders) are custom-sown. Headstart will usually source the seed; however, we do also accept customer-supplied seed.
Volume orders are priced individually according to crop, volume, space availability, and time of year. For small orders and trials, see Vegetable Transplant Small Order Pricing
