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!
Alpine Strawberry
Fragaria vesca
Native throughout most of the northern hemisphere, alpine strawberry is that amazingly sweet wild strawberry you remember from childhood. Small fruits pack superb flavor. Plants are vigorous in a garden setting as they grow wild in meadows and all sorts of sunny places. At our sanctuary, alpine strawberry grows in shadey wet areas as well as on top of the open dry oak hillside. Very easy to grow and fun to find in fruit, we reccomend adding this to your native edible garden.
