Frequently asked questions
How do you handle delivery?
After receiving your order, we begin shipping when it is most appropriate for your area. We source most of our trees currently from growers out of state. We ship as soon as we can following receipt of trees from the growers. Plants are kept dormant either in ground or in refrigeration until it’s a good time to ship. Generally that means late winter. Whenever that time is, your plants will be packaged with care and shipped directly to you. Upon receiving your plants, it’s best to open them up, soak the roots in cool water for 30 minutes and immediately plant or pot up. If you cannot do so, you can keep them refrigerated for a while before planting, or heel in either in pots outdoors or in the ground to hold over until you are ready to plant.
When do my plants ship?
Plant packages ship as soon as we have trees from the growers. Normally for those in the southern US, we ship as soon as humanly possible. Northern locations are often delayed a couple weeks. But rest assured we do everything possible to ship out as soon as possible. Middle to end of March is the normal shipping window but that varies from year to year depending on weather factors.

Why buy these package deals?
Because it’s the best deal you’re going to find. And because supporting the start of this business is going to bring more and better selections to you that will enable you to build out a thriving and productive home orchard and/or berry patch. Trying to buy individual plants piecemeal through normal online vendors ends up extremely expensive. It’s our goal to enable both new and experienced growers to purchase a variety of cultivars suited to their needs at rock bottom prices so you can get the space you’re growing absolutely filled with wonderful plants faster and more affordably.
What are fodder trees?
Fodder tree species are those that have been identified as being safe to feed to livestock as either fresh cut leaves or dried and stored just like grass hay. This is a historic practice going back thousands of years that is seeing a resurgence in those interested in self sufficient lifestyles and those seeking a lower cost and more healthy option for feeding their animals.
Why Buy from You?
You will be helping to launch a new nursery business unlike any you’ve seen before. Our focus is on small landowners who want to become self sufficient. We are currently propagating and preparing to sell several species and cultivars of rare plants especially suited for homesteading, farmsteading, off grid living, and any other way of defining a more self sufficient life. We are dedicated to finding historic fruits that have stood the test of time as well as breeding new versions that can withstand the rigors of establishing a resilient ecosystem on your land, or thriving in a lush and established system. We do seedling trials for survivability through drought and other pressures to develop new and exciting plant offerings found nowhere else in the world. And we want to do it in a way that you can afford to build a successful orchard as quick and affordable as possible!
Why plant fodder trees?
Fodder trees enable you to exponentially grow the amount of food you can feed livestock with no outside inputs onto your property. What this means is you keep money in your budget for other things, allowing you to snowball your efforts towards greater self-reliance and more financial security. If you have no animal feed bills, that means you keep all that money that would have left your control and frees it up to do things like pay down debt or develop other important infrastructure. We encourage you to consider planting your fodder trees years in advance of when you will need them to produce for you.
When are you going to have more plants for sale?
We are on track to hopefully have more than a dozen varieties of Fig, Blueberry, Blackberry, Muscadine, and many other small fruits ready for sale in upcoming years. That is only the beginning! There are some very exciting rare and unique fruits we have acquired or bred that will be growing to propagation size this year and may possibly be available for purchase as early as 2024/25.
