Welcome to the Food Forest Farm plant shop! Here you’ll find many of the plants we’ve been growing in the nursery since 2010. These plants will come to you healthy and ready for their new home.

Perpetual Sorrel
Perpetual Sorrel
Clumping leaf crop, wonderful sour flavor. This is a variety that never flowers, so it makes tender greens all season long. Ours comes up under the snow! Great addition to soups and salads (if eaten raw, eat in moderation).
