SASKATOON BERRY: 2024 FALL PLANT PRESALE

Description

It’s that time again – time for our annual fall plant presale! Isn’t it so fun to get a jump start on planning your next garden and thinking about how you can feed you family nutrient dense foods right from your own property?

Why should you participate in our annual presale and not just wait to get your plants in the spring? I’m so glad you asked!

• Secure your plants so you don’t have to worry about missing out.
• We actually purchase most of the plants (everything except the bare root plants and the blueberries) and winter them over here so they’ve spent an entire winter in Alaska before being sold. This ensures hardiness for the plants – which gives us all a good confidence that the plants will thrive here!
• Support our small farm as we expand and do more to provide food and resources for the community.

But first …. SASKATOON BERRIES!

Our Alaska hardy saskatoons are the absolute favorite berry on the farm, according to the farmer’s wife. 🙂 They look like a blueberry, but they taste more like a cross between an apple and a mild grape. They are Alaska hardy (down to zone 2) and will keep you in berries for years and years with proper care.

They make the BEST pies ever, although they are super yummy fresh, too.

The Alaska hardy saskatoon bush is best kept trimmed to 10′ so that the berries are reachable for everyone. They will produce a few berries in the second year and should be in full production in 5 years.

Pickup is at the farm May 9-11 where we will have an open house and have even more plants for sale including our hardy apple and plum trees and more! And we usually have something extra for moms since it’s Mother’s Day Weekend.
