We are currently shipping potted plants and seeds on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are not digging and shipping field grown bare root trees, tubers, roots or rhizomes.\u00a0 We also may not ship newly potted or propagated plants which are too vigorous to ship safely in July and August.\u00a0 At the end of the plants description you may see the following:\u00a0 ‘will fall ship once trees are finished growing’ or ‘harvest season begins’.\u00a0 \u00a0That means shipping will begin in the fall once the plants are in a more dormant state starting in September and October.<\/p>\n
Our summer season consists of propagating new plants as well as\u00a0 maintaining our current inventory of plants and seeds.\u00a0 This means a lot of changes will occur to our inventory as we size up our plants to make sure they are in the best possible shape prior to delivery to your home.\u00a0 New plants will be posted in July and August and old plants may disappear. Unlike most mail order companies we do not rely much on outside sources for plants so what you see is what we have.<\/p>\n
If you place an order in July and August we will do our best to fulfill it as much as possible. (But we will not dig field plants early.)\u00a0 If the order is split shipped to some degree we do not charge you additional shipping for the fall portion of your order.\u00a0 In some cases we will wait and fall ship the whole order to save on time and costs for us as well. Fall shipping the whole order all at once is the most ideal scenario in terms of getting the plants at the best time for outplanting.<\/p>\n
For pick up orders direct from the farm, please order on line.\u00a0 We will contact you for an appointment for pick up. On average we need about a weeks notice to get your order ready. We do not have a garden center or an area for shopping. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer. When you check out, you will be charged shipping. We will remove the shipping charge and issue you a refund. Just put: Pick up from the farm. Customer service will contact you for an appointment.<\/p>\n
Sign up for our weekly summer newsletter called “Plant of the Week”. New subscriptions will automatically receive a free packet of seed. Make sure to include your address for the seeds and a future printed catalog.<\/p>\n
New plants propagated this summer will be written about and\u00a0 posted on our blog in August. The idea is to inform you of our success and to help you plan out your perennial forest garden as well as introducing you to new food plants that might fit into your landscape.<\/p>\n
Often times people will ask us for specific plants. During 2019 we made it our mission to really focus on those plants that we never seem to have enough and plants that are rarely available even in the niche nurseries.\u00a0 The weather has been very cooperative this year and despite the late start we were blessed with many good employees with excellent propagation skills.\u00a0 Enjoy your new plants.\u00a0 A year like this doesn’t come often.<\/p>\n
As you can see even my grandson is surprised at his budding pawpaw forest with clover groundcover.\u00a0 (Luckily for him there are back up Oreos until the pawpaws begin to fruit.)<\/p>\n
