We are a registered nursery in the state of Massachusetts. We are inspected yearly and don’t grow or sell anything earmarked as an invasive species in Massachusetts. We do sell pawpaw, persimmon, several hickory and wild plum varieties (US natives), and sweet chestnut crosses.

  • feeding future generations of humans local, perennial food and oils in an unknown climate,
  • increasing pollinator and wildlife habitat now and in the future,
  • rewilding a broken forest to support diversity, or
  • planting a neighborhood nuttery.
