Wanted recommendations on permaculture-type of plant/tree nursery sellers and catalogs

I'm looking for any recommendations on permaculture-type of plant/tree nursery sellers and catalogs. I'm in the Southeast, but I would appreciate some recommendations on trusted nurseries from all over.  Fruit/nut trees and shrubs for starters, but others types welcome too. Thanks in advance!

I discovered Fedco recently.

Thank you, they look great! I am also looking for any sources for buying organic nuts for growing, like hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, etc. Any recommendations are much appreciated!

what’s your location, thomas? where i am in western north carolina, i’d recommend useful plants nursery.

I see Stark Brothers recommended quite often. They are in Missouri.

Their website:

There are several other nurseries on the Seed and Plant Source Review Grid:

Also your state tree nursery might be a place to find reasonably price trees.

Forest Agriculture Nursery is a Mark Sheppard project.  They sell bundles of trees and shrubs for establishing food forests and silvopasture  projects.

I also love Edible Acres in NY.  

Sean Dembrosky has great You Tube channel and they have nursery plants for sale in the fall and spring.  I have had great success with their hazelnuts.

Also check you state government run  nursery.  Our  nursery here in NH carries a selection of native and other useful trees and shrubs that are very affordable.  Your state may have something similar.

I love Fedco.  I have been ordering seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs, potatoes from them for years.  They are out of Maine and  they do indicate where and how their products are grown.  They do have seasonal catalogs and each catalog has separate shipping times and charges.  I am looking forward to their seeds catalog opening up next month.

At least here in Indiana, our state nursery is amazing. A pack of 100 two-year old pawpaw trees sells for only $35. They also carry walnut, pecan, persimmon, American plum, hazelnut, persimmon, and a whole bunch of non-fruit/nut trees.

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions -- much appreciated! I wasn't aware of the state run programs. That's great. Do you happen to know if they ship to other states? Those Indiana plants sound like a great deal!

NH you need to pick the seedlings up from the nursery  I don't know about other states.

depends on the state. we’ve ordered seedlings from the missouri state program (we’re in north carolina)…

I can't say that I've used this place yet, only just discovered them recently: https://perennialcropsnursery.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR03-aWDqkbrBGBholHK4g2su2SbYcv0XHdKUCrhN_y41FDQfZcyQMXFTGs

I have fruit and nut trees for sale from Missoula, MT: https://mountaintimefarm.com/

Looks great! I'll definitely put an order in. Do you think most of your species will be alright in zone 8a?

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions -- looking forward to getting some trees from those sources!  I'm only about 2 years into my own nursery business, but I guess it makes sense to try and plug my online shop here too:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNewWarm

Yeah most likely. Here it gets -20F in the winter and 105F in the summer, and any plants that can't make it through the cold or the heat don't make the cut.

Took a look and so many I have been looking for . Quick question Thomas I see you have English lavender and will be ordering, but I am looking for French lavender plant it was my favorite and lasted many years, someone ripped it out thinking it was dead when it was over wintering. My heart broke. Do you happen to have access to that by any chance? It was unusal to grow in my area but I got it to .
