We Specialize in Hardy Fruits Trees for Northern Ontario Climates.
We are now open for spring pre-orders!
I would recommend trying to place your order early, it is already looking like it might be a record year. Website traffic in the last month is almost double last year and the amount of emails I am getting is much higher. Most years we have a few products that sell out within the first day so if there is something in particular that you are looking for I suggest getting on the website early.
There also continues to be an increasing demand in fruit trees and edible planting and I'm very excited to see more people using their yard space for growing food in any form. I also appreciate everyone getting the word out and letting people know all across Northern Ontario that we are the best place to get your hardy fruit trees that are guaranteed to succeed in our climate.
I have refocused on fruit and edible plants, so this year you won't see any native trees, ornamentals or flowers. With that being said I have expanded the options for nut trees, added more varieties of large fruit trees and this year have been able to source a good supply of hardy apricot trees.
We will open for picks up and on site sales the first weekend in May, so this year I'm planning to open May 3rd. When you place your order you will be able to schedule a pick up time for your trees. Our hours will remain unchanged again this year.
Spring Hours: (Starting May 3rd)
Tuesdays 12-4
Friday 10-4
Saturdays 10-4
Call out to any other Apple Geeks in the North!
For those who haven't realized yet I'm truly obsessed about apple growing here in Northern Ontario.
I am amassing quite the collection of different varieties of apple trees here on site both by planting and grafting. With that being said I am quite interested in trading or buying scions from any unique apple tree you might have growing anywhere in Northern Ontario. I'm particularly interested in named varieties, but also any seedling trees or mystery trees you might have, that provide an exceptionally good eating apple, or an apple with unique colour or qualities.
I will provide a list of every variety I am currently growing here on site. I can provide scions for any of the mature trees listed, and would be very interested in any variety that is not listed.

I was very impressed by this video created by the team at Sudbury Shared Harvest to discuss some of the impacts of industrial agriculture and importance of supporting local agriculture and the benefits of food forests. Sounds like the are once again planning lots of great activities this year.
