Thank you for your interest and happy growing!
PLEASE READ: If you are local or regional to the Finger Lakes area (able to pick up in person), feel free to reach out to hello@edibleacres.org with a clear wish list of plants and we will work to arrange a pickup.
We update our inventory on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see everything as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring offerings will generally have more herbaceous perennials, grasses, etc and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find what you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Blackcap Raspberry
Blackcap Raspberry
Rubus leucodermis
We all know raspberries (if not lets change that!) Wonderful summer treat, easy to grow, and they make more of themselves each year!
Edible Acres is working hard each season to bring more varieties into our offerings to provide huge variation in flavors, shapes, and seasons of yield. Our goal is to be able to eat fresh raspberries most days from late June to mid November, and it’s possible! So many types to try!
A plant collector friend of ours came across a wild black cap patch a number of years ago that had albino plants in the mix. Unique stems with lighter color and fruits that ripen to a rich peach color and have a remarkably sweet flavor. He shared some plants with us a number of years ago and we've been working with them, seeing just how hardy they are and how the fruit works out. Turns out they are quite disease resistant, vigorous, and produce a strong crop of what we call 'peach caps'. A unique delight to enjoy in the garden!
We've also worked with the named cultivar 'Jewel' for a bunch of years and love the huge fruits and great production this type offers.
