Hey Raeley, I got some of the fruit trees from my Dad. He had some volunteer fig and mulberries that he potted for me. He also seeded some gingko and buckeyes that I have planted. Most of the others I have purchased from local sellers. Southern Cultured Orchard and Nursery in Mississippi is where I purchased most of them. I travelled over this past winter and picked up quite a few from Mr. Larry there. I chose him because ... I like the heirloom aspect and I like that he is a small, independent, grower who is passionate about his work. I picked out apples and pears that were found in and near our area here in N Alabama. I have also purchased from Hidden Springs Nursery in Tennessee. They offer locally adapted plants that require minimal chemical intervention.
I enjoyed reading this for the second time. I am interested in how the plants in the Feed plot did since it is now the end of Summer - start of Fall.
I just read your most recent post with the updates on all the farm areas including the Feed plot. Thanks!
The red clover is beautiful!
There are so many exciting things going on at your farm! Where do you get your fruit trees from and why did you pick the kinds that you did?
