TreeEater Farm and Nursery

We propagate and sell fruit trees, nut trees, berry bushes and edible vines. We want more of these things in the world and we want you to plant them! The nursery began when Peter set out trying to find some of the plants mentioned in the first generation permaculture textbooks. It became quickly obvious that apples plums and pears were about all that was locally available and everything else was going to take some work. Now, about 7 years later, the nursery stocks both local standbys and a much broader array of more unusual and difficult-to-find edibles that have been drawn from afar. Our mission is to help disseminate the greatest possible diversity of food-bearing perennial plants for immediate establishment. Please refer to the available plant-list for our first hand experience and advice on which plants have been successful locally, which haven’t, and what both might need in order to thrive. We sell direct in the early spring in the annual Seedy Saturday Markets on Vancouver Island. Our usual attendance includes Courtney/Comox, Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo, Duncan, Victoria and some of the smaller Gulf Islands. We also accept visitors and orders at the Nursery year-round and can ship or deliver some orders. Contact us for arrangements.
