- Wiggle Room earthworm castings, courtesy of 800,000 red wigglers in Bridgeport
- Cow Pots, plastic-free plant containers from Freund Family Farm in Canaan
- Green Envy, decorative top-dressing that doubles as a soil amendment, made in Middlebury

If you like to buy from locals, don't forget about our well-established regional seed suppliers, too: Kitchen Garden Seed in Bantam, Hart Seed in Wethersfield, NE Seed in East Hartford, and Select Seeds in Union. (Also, read about the much newer Eco59.com, a seed project that aims to provide ecotypical seeds for ecoregion 59.)
