Mountain Time Farm

New tree and shrub seedlings for Fall 2023 include of Ashworth Bur Oak, Apricot, Howard English Walnut, and Chaenomeles Sinensis and Chaenomeles Japonica. New herbs include Fireweed, Bouncing Bet, and Artemesia Ludoviciana. Trees and plants ship Oct/Nov 2023, local orders can be picked up any time.

In the spring we ship dormant bare root plants after the ground thaws but before the plants leaf out. In the fall we ship after the plants have gone dormant for the winter, but while there is still time to plant before the ground freezes.

For local pickup, select local pick-up option for shipping and we will contact you to arrange a time for your order to be picked up.

Seedlings are the children of the parent plants, and so each one is slightly different, from each other as well as from the parents. Much like garden vegetables that have been slowly improved over millennia, or the famed lineages of the apple varieties grafted everywhere today, by planting seedlings of the best plants available today, tomorrow you get to participate directly in the ongoing histories of various plant species, of what foods people like to eat, and of nature itself. We hope that someday you will plant seedlings from the best plants you got from us, so that we can keep the whole thing going.

We select fruit seed from the best parent plants growing in our local area, as well as the best cold hardy varieties of fruit available at our grocery store and local farmers markets. For nuts we gather seed from the best nut trees in our area, and for nuts we can't find but that do grow here we purchase those from top quality nurseries and orchards in the Northern US and Canada who sell nut seeds from proven trees of their own stock.
