The Loping Coyote Farms plant nursery began as a necessary project that allowed us to grow out a variety of plants for our own farm site. We wanted to use and experiment with many plants in our food forest systems that we either couldn’t find or that we could only find as small plugs which we wanted to baby in nice potting soil before setting them directly out into the unenviable soil of our compact clay pit of a farm. So we began buying and seeding plants and grafting trees and rooting cuttings. We quickly realized that we could just have a few more than we needed of these plants and offer them for sale to others who might also be looking around for these particular types of plants for their own similarly-intentioned systems. At this point, we are excited to continue our experiments in running a micro-nursery as a resource for the Great Basin region, and as a learning journey for ourselves! It is not a full-time job for us and we manage the nursery to fit within the many other happenings and interests in our lives. At that point in the season all the bare-root plants (most of our plants are bare-root for the spring sale) go in the ground and we concentrate on propagating and growing plants out to be ready again for the next spring. So don’t wait until the end of spring or summer to come looking for plants from us! And be aware that we offer a much wider range of woody perennials and perennial herbs at our spring bare-root sale; then we take what's left from that sale to the Co-op sale.  Learn more at: https://www.lopingcoyotefarms.com/
