We grow around 14 different culinary and ornamental herbs as well as 60 ecologically important native perennial species that are ideal for habitat restoration or transforming backyards into thriving wildlife habitats.
Please refer to our cultural guide to see which species we have available and what sorts of growing conditions they each prefer.
We offer forbs (flowers), grasses, and shrubs, the majority of which are native to southeastern Minnesota with a small number native to western Wisconsin and northern Iowa as well. We sometimes collect seed and cuttings from a few species of plants grown right here on the farm.
We carefully select species that support bees, butterflies, beneficial insects, and songbirds. We are committed to growing our plants without the use of persistent pesticides like pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, or other harmful chemicals.
We maintain a diverse selection of species suited to various soil moisture and light conditions. Whether you’re planting a dry prairie, a rain garden, or a shady woodland, there are natives that will thrive there. If site-appropriate plants are chosen, they require minimal upkeep once established, offering exceptional disease resistance and lower maintenance than many ornamental species. Furthermore, their deep roots help prevent soil erosion, reduce runoff, and sequester carbon.
Most of our plants come in three-inch containers. Occasionally, we also have four-packs available. Shrubs are sold in one-gallon pots.
