    Crop varieties which are available include cabbage, rutabaga, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, kale, lettuce, leek and asparagus.

    Applications for the 2025 Vegetable Transplant Program are now being accepted from commercial vegetable producers until February 24. The Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture offers high-quality, low-cost vegetable transplants to eligible commercial farmers to help increase the production and variety grown in the province, promote higher marketable yields and earlier harvests, and support food self-sufficiency. Last year, the Vegetable Transplant Program grew 4.3 million vegetable transplants, which were provided to 129 farmers. Crop varieties which are available include cabbage, rutabaga, broccoli, cauliflower, onion, kale, lettuce, leek and asparagus. More information at gov.nl.ca
