From the farm

Grown the slow, honest way

Little Tree Farm is a small nursery, not a warehouse. Every tree that leaves here was grown in our fields and handled like it's headed to family land — because it is.

  • Grown here, not brokered

    Raised in Nova Scotia soil from seed and cutting — no reselling of warm-climate stock.

  • A working family farm

    Real fields on Wentzell Lake, tended year-round by the people who answer your emails.

  • Dug fresh, packed by hand

    Lifted dormant at the right moment, roots wrapped moist for the trip to your door.

  • Backed by our guarantee

    Every plant is covered by a live-arrival promise, plainly written.

From gardens across Canada

Planted with confidence.

Growers from coast to coast trust our plants to take root and thrive.

  • Every tree arrived dormant, healthy, and clearly labelled — planting instructions included. All three leafed out beautifully this spring.

    M. LeBlanc · Nova Scotia

  • Ordered a windbreak's worth of native shrubs. The packing was the best I've seen from any mail-order nursery, and everything took.

    S. Whitford · New Brunswick

  • Our haskaps fruited in year two, exactly as promised. The honest “not ideal for” notes on every plant page earned my trust.
