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!

Clustered Wild Rose

Rosa pisocarpa

Clustered wild rose is native to the Willamette Valley and other parts of the Pacific Northwest. It is a spreading woody shrub, growing up to 6 feet tall. It is a great and easy to grow wildlife plant, perfect for hedgerows and native restoration. It can grow in sun or shade.

The rose hip fruit is edible.  The flowers have a wonderfully simple and delicate rose scent.  The flowers and leaves are a very gentle astringent that helps tighten and tone mucous membranes and skin.
