Our name is a nod to the agricultural past of our property and our family's farming operations here. And although we don’t have some things people might think of when they hear the word "farm," we do grow over 800 varieties of plants in our Production Greenhouses, which take up much of our five acre grounds. Plus, we have everything you need to create beautiful, edible, and eco-friendly outdoor spaces, from small balconies to large gardens.
We also offer some classic farm activities... Don’t miss our chickens that live in a deluxe coop just behind the yellow Farmhouse Cafe! You can purchase chicken treats at the Nursery registers to feed our little flock.
In the fall, we also offer a Pumpkin Patch complete with staff-made scarecrows. And in the lead-up to the holidays, We also carry beautiful Christmas trees and seasonal decorations.

This unusual conifer is a Monkey Puzzle Tree (Araucaria araucana). Native to the Andes mountains of South America, this "living fossil" is the national tree of Chile. It can grow 50' to 80' tall and 20' to 30' wide.
Our tree was brought as a seedling by South American ship captains to the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, and you can learn more about its history in our blog post on the subject.
You can have your very own Monkey Puzzle Tree, too! We sell them in a variety of sizes at various points throughout the year. They are hardy to USDA Zone 7 and like to be planted in full sun.
