Mountain Roots Orchard

Mountain Roots Orchard Open by appt. only for 2026. We are reviving a century old homestead orchard, & grow plants that thrive in our northern climate.

“We are a family run small heritage orchard practicing sustainable methods for naturally grown fruits. Our focus is on preserving the historic fruit trees and propagating cuttings from them in our orchard nursery. Along with these, we grow a selection of berry shrubs and native plants. Our Farm Store is open Tues-Sat, June-Oct to sell local produce as it becomes available, homemade goods, & gifts. Most of our plants grown on site will be available as well.

It's always an awesome moment to see a praying mantis in the greenhouse! Except, seeing them can be difficult😆

It's a challenge finding the right time to mow down the grass & weeds before they become a problem or fire hazard. I've been seeing the benefits each year. It's worth it to wait as long as you can or just try and mow high until later in the summer. Ladybugs eating grass pollen, clover growing where only weeds were, & fire-resistant ferns.

Want more life in your garden? Try doing a little less.

Leave the leaves. Skip the chemicals. Let wildflowers grow. 🌿
Nature already knows how to create a thriving space for bees, butterflies, and birds — we just have to step back. 🐝🦋🐦

A “perfect” garden isn’t always the healthiest one. Sometimes, a little wild is exactly what the planet needs. 💚

This reminds me of something I was working on today. It got the job done! I may not have gone this crazy, but baling twine certainly can come in handy. I also can't stand to throw it away until it has been put to good use and pretty much shredded to nothing. 😆

Another video of some springtime orchard activity. I literally bumbled right into the middle of a bunch of bumblebees with my focus on setting a sprinkler. Thankfully, they were not bothered by me. Just a couple buzzes by my ears and then back to work they went.

Some of the fruit trees are blooming 2 weeks early this year. Fortunately, the pollinators were at the ready with more types than I could keep track of!

Our first peach in the Orchard "Contender" It's a brave little tree taking on last night's snow & 25 degrees during its first bloom! I wasn't so confident and decided to cover it anyways. Next year, it'll be too big to cover. Supposedly, this cold-hardy variety can take it. We'll see!🙏🏼

Finally, a few sunny days in a row that aren't friged cold, so now I'm trying to move faster than spring to finish the apple tree pruning. My guardian is keeping watch and the frogs are singing. Hard work amongst nature is the most balancing thing for the body & soul!
