Bare Root Plants for Sale
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!
Please be aware that some plants are considered ‘illegal’ in some states. It is possible that some of our plants are not allowed to be planted where you live. If you are in doubt, you can search the plant and your state and see if it is prohibited or ‘illegal’ to plant and if so please don’t order it. Thanks.
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…

Support Our Project
Hello and thank you for visiting us and exploring this particular page!
Edible Acres has been a small scale / human scale nursery and food forest research project for around 20 years. We’ve been learning and sharing ideas and plants for most of that time and have enjoyed it immensely and believe deeply in what we’re up to.
You may notice that most of the plants and plant material we offer on this website have the same price as when we established our online nursery in 2017! We have been deliberate in this decision because we believe very strongly in offering high quality plants that a wide range of people can afford. As costs for things like energy, materials, food, etc. all soar, it has been a challenge to keep our prices at or below most conventional nurseries, but we really want to be sure people with limited or no income realities can still access amazing plants to grow food and medicine for their loved ones.
Enter the concept of offering a way for people to directly support our work financially if they feel moved to do so and have the means to do so without hardship. Any amount that people want to aim our way will help offset the growing cost of living while we continue to provide high quality plant material at very reasonable prices.
You can add any of the options below to an order of plants you are making as a ‘tip’ or simply choose a value on it’s own that can come to us to help support our project. Perhaps you believe in what we are doing but aren’t currently planting where you live. This is a way to act on that.
This additional flow of financial resource will help us donate plants to various groups focused on food justice and access, invest in tools and resources to help expand what we do, help provide meaningful compensation for people who work with us, buy more seeds and plant material to continue expanding our library of plants and much more. It is a way to buffer ever increasing costs of living for a small collective of people focused on generating plants for the world.
We appreciate immensely anything you do from here. Either sending financial support to our project, just thinking about it or moving along to other ideas!
