5 Star Nursery & Orchard

5 Star Nursery and Orchard is a MOFGA-Certified Organic farm in Brooklin, ME. Besides our 3 acre fruit orchard, we specialize in growing (mostly) Maine native plants from seed collected on our property or in collaboration with the several local land trusts that we partner with in Downeast, Maine. All year long in the orchard, we witness how native plants play a critical role in growing food and we work to share that information and those techniques with our community. Please visit our website (5starorchard.com) for more information.

Honey Petal Plants is a home-based nursery specializing in Maine native plants as well as perennials suitable for rock garden and woodland settings. Plants are propagated from seed, cutting, and division.

No insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides are used.

Rooted in a deep appreciation for local ecosystems, the nursery emphasizes wild-type native species, ecological relationships, and sustainable growing practices while offering plants, education, and guidance for creating more resilient landscapes.

Radical Roots Nursery

Radical Roots is a small, Latinx-owned nursery growing cold-hardy, heirloom fruit trees and a wide range of native plants of the Northeast. We grow all of our plants with organic practices, and we grow our woody plants in air-pruning fabric bags that produce healthy, fibrous, non-circling roots.  We’re passionate about growing healthy plants that enhance the local ecology by improving soil, helping native pollinators thrive, enhancing the beauty and functionality of the landscape, and increasing food sovereignty in the community.

We have several native plant species and rare fruit tree varieties that can be difficult to find commercially, and we love talking to our customers and to help them find the perfect fruit trees or native species to fit their needs! We also sell fresh fruit from the farm when it’s in season: peaches, plums, strawberries, and more! Stop by the nursery in Winterport, Maine on the weekends during the growing season, or order plants directly from the online shop for local pick-up at the farm. 

Rebel Hill Farm

We are Julie and Pete Beckford. We grow certified organic field-grown perennials in Liberty, Maine. Our specialty is native plants. Interest in native plants is a great, hopeful change in Maine.

Our plants are exceptional in quality.  We have been doing this for over 35 years. The plants are field-grown and overwintered in the ground. They get dug and potted in the spring, so what you get is necessarily hardy, healthy, and robust. Most plants are in gallon size pots or six inch pots. They do not need to be planted right away. We are committed to ecological health in both how we grow plants and what we grow.

Whaleback Nursery

We are a small nursery in Limington, ME, within the unceded lands of the Pequawket (Wabanaki territory). Our focus is on native plant species and locally adapted ecotypes that thrive in southern Maine, alongside edible and ornamental plants that can integrate into these landscapes. 

All of our plants are grown in rich, living soil without synthetic additives. We generate our own compost and use locally sourced wood chips and materials to package our products. We primarily sell bare-root plants in the early spring and fall, with potted plant sales in May. In addition to plant offerings, we provide consultations, pruning, and installation work, with an emphasis on supporting landscapes that mimic nature to support both humans and wildlife.
