We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we’ve sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.

Don’t worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we’ve written about our plants!

We’ll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

Bred in Canada, ‘Tulameen’ has very large red fruit, even bigger than the large-fruited commercial variety ‘Meeker’.  Unlike ‘Cascade Red’, it prefers well-drained soil.

Raspberry canes produce the most with full sun and frequent water in summer.  Prune back the old canes from the previous year to encourage the new growth.

Blackcap raspberry is one of the most delicious native fruits in our area. It is also not well know because it is not as common as the wild blackberries. The blackcap is a cane fruit that grows from a single clump and can spread by tip rooting but is not vigorous like the non-native himalayan/armenian blackberry. These cane fruit prefer some shade but enough sun to ripen their purple fruit, which has a flavor that is a mix of raspberry and blackberry. The canes are showy, with a purple/white film that stands out in a hedge. Read more
