We're still here!

Yea, we haven't written in an embarrassingly long time. Gosh, it's been a busy summer. We've been running around like crazy trying to get our land ready for planting next year through the use of cover crops, remodeling the farmhouse, and moving (yep, we moved to the farm!). Oh, and putting up a fence for the goats and chickens, moving outbuildings and fixing up the existing agricultural well. Other than that, things have been quiet...

We still have figs for sale for pickup only (they're HUGE this year), but Contact Us for availability information as we're in the middle of potting up everything. Our Store will have an updated inventory soon with a list of plants available for pickup.

We've been getting questions regarding availability of plants in the fall for shipping and unfortunately we won't have all that many. Next year we'll make an attempt to propagate more plants to be ready for the fall season. As the few we have become ready I'll place them in our Store.

Thanks for your support this year and your patience through a busy summer! God has been so gracious to us. Look for an updated picture post soon.

Fruit Trees for Sale 2015

Our fruit trees are now for sale! We've spent the winter propagating and now the trees (figs and pomegranates) are ready for new homes. Head on over to our Store to place an order. Due to our store vendor, pickup orders can currently only be placed during our normal business hours (Mon-Sat, 8am-5pm), but you can also Contact Us and we'll be happy to put in an order for ya. See below for more info.

There are two options for receiving your order: shipping or pickup. You will need to order a minimum of $100 for a shipped order. Shipping charges are a $15 + $2 for each tree ordered. Unfortunately no shipping to AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR, UT, WA or internationally due to current restrictions. We will continue shipping until the weather gets hot (probably mid to late June). Any orders placed this week will likely ship on 5/18 or 5/25 (depending on the volume of orders received).

No minimum applies for orders picked up at the farm in Mechanicsburg. Pickup instructions will be shown after you make your purchase (you'll basically just need to call ahead and arrange it). PA sales tax applies for PA residents.

Some trees will be available in very limited quantities, so if there's a tree you want, get your order in early!

Baby fig trees in need of a good home

Week in Pictures 4/19/2015

What a nice week here at the farm. The warmth seemed to wake up all the plants, all at once. We love the beauty of the flowering trees, especially the stone fruits (peaches, plums, cherries, apricots) and pome fruits (pears and apples). Even if these trees are tricky to get good fruit without sprays, they're worth planting just for the spring blossoms. Some of our trees are flowering for the first time this year and some will flower in late April to early May (apple, persimmon, pawpaw) and on into June (jujube). We hope you enjoy these fruit blossoms and hope it even spurs you to start your own little orchard!

Amelanchier x grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance' Serviceberry

'Harbinger' peach in almost full bloom

'Ruby Sweet' plum. Let's hope for at least a few this year!

Everything has taken on that spring green color. 

An espaliered Asian pear 'Yoinashi' is among the first to bloom. 

Some of the blueberries are rather close to opening. Can't wait for fresh berries in just a couple months. 

Honeyberries put on some nice blossoms and are one of the first fruits to ripen. If only I could get to the fruit before the birds do.
