Order Now For Spring Delivery/Pick-up!

March 13th update: Still plenty of snow here, but the season for planting has begun! As soon as you can dig a hole, you can plant dormant, bareroot trees: the earlier the better, to soak up all the spring precipitation and to let the new plants wake up/break dormancy at Nature's pace along with the rest of the world!

Our first major shipment will be heading out Monday, March 20th; a few weeks ago we sent out order updates, giving anticipated ship dates and we are on schedule so far. Pick-ups have begun as well, just by appointment for March, until we have regular hours in April. Once the snow clears a little here we will set up the potted area as well, for potted trees and plants available for pick-up only.

Happy orchard planning/planting!

March Hours: open online or by phone Monday to Friday 8:00am-4:30pm, and on farm by appointment.
