Hey there everybody

For folks who are unfamiliar with us, we’re a small scale plant nursery that follows permaculture and regenerative agriculture principles. We’ve used tons of wood chips over the years and we’re getting ready to receive more over today and tomorrow. What would you like to know?

What part of the planet are you located? What are your 3 favorite food bearing plants?

We're in Maine, in the New England region of the US.

Hands down favorite plant is Ceanothus americanus, New Jersey Tea but it's a tea plant and not food. I'm also a fan of the Amelanchier family, which may be called serviceberry or saskatoon. We grow and use a whole bunch of Monarda fistulosa, which is called by a number of common names but is an amazing US native plant that supports vast numbers of pollinators. We harvest leaves to dry as an oregano substitute and harvest flowers for tea.
