The Coeur d Alene Coop

About

The Coeur d’Alene Coop is devoted exclusively to open-pollinated and heirloom plant varieties that are especially well suited to our north Idaho growing conditions. And while we are not a “certified organic” grower, we always follow organic guidelines as part of our gardening practice. Our seed-starting mix and potting soil are also approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (ORMI), and we only use organic fertilizers (fish emulsion) on our plant starts. We start each of our plants from seed—often from certified organic seed stock. Each individual seedling is carefully transplanted by hand into a recyclable growing container, and all of our plants are hardened off so they are ready for planting in their new garden homes.
