Potting Soils and Amendments
FoxFarm Raised Bed Planting Mix
FoxFarm Raised Bed Planting Mix contains a carefully selected, custom blend of mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizae occur naturally in forest soils where the humus content is high and the soil is thriving with microbial life. Once in contact with the plant’s root system, mycorrhizae may colonize directly onto the roots, helping enhance root efficiency in the rhizosphere. This may enable the plant to take up more nutrients and resist stress, resulting in enhanced fruit and flower production.
FoxFarm Raised Bed Planting Mix also contains Humic Acids, naturally occurring materials that are extracted from Leonardite. Humic Acids are found in certain soils, coals, and peat resulting from the decomposition of organic matter. Humic Acids may increase micro-nutrient uptake.

Specially blended for fruits, flowers, vegetables and herbs.

Royal Gold Worm castings
Worm castings, or vermicompost, are nutrient-rich, odor-free, organic fertilizer produced by earthworms digesting organic matter. They boost plant growth, improve soil water retention, and suppress pests and diseases without burning plants. Produced by adding worms to bedding and food waste, they can be used for potting, gardening, or seed starting.
Worm castings work by injecting highly concentrated beneficial bacteria, microbes, and enzymes into the soil. These microbes enhance nutrient cycling, making nutrients more available to plants, and improve soil aeration. Their high nutrient concentration means they act as a time-released fertilizer that encourages stronger plant growth and, in some cases, higher yields.
They will not burn plants, making them ideal for seedlings and containers and improve soil structure, aeration, and moisture retention. Their beneficial microbes help fight pathogens and deter pests like aphids.

This is such a great place. Goffle Brook Farm & Garden Center has friendly and helpful staff that seem to really appreciate your business. They have a great selection of plants, flowers, gardening supplies, great FRESH local produce and I am sure tons of stuff I have yet to discover. The staff is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to walk me through any garden problem or question I have.
I’ve been going to Goffle Brook Farm & Garden Center regularly for the past year since my family moved to the area and every time I go I leave happy. What more can you ask for?They will have my loyal business. I think they deserve your business too.
Really cute garden center. My boyfriend and I stopped by to get some pumpkins. They had a great variety of both small and large pumpkins. They also have a small petting zoo with goats, sheep, and a pig. They have a small variety of produce for purchase inside. We wound up sampling cider they were selling and bought that as well as it was delicious. We may go back to get more. Employees were very helpful and friendly.
Highly recommend this garden center.
