We do not farm or grow our plants in a nursery. All of our plants are carefully gathered from the woodlands where they have been planted by mother nature. One cannot get a more natural or organic product completely free from fertilizers and pesticides. We do offer a handful of products that are "escapees" from an old farmstead (roses in particular) and we offer a small variety of heirloom seeds and other products. Everything that does not come directly from the forest is clearly marked as such. Our native plants generally require less water and special care than domesticated nursery or farm grown plants. These unique and naturally hardy woodland plants help reduce air pollution, provide shelter and food for wildlife and many have useful human food and medicinal properties as well as beauty and scenic value. Our gathering methods at the OrganicForest promote biodiversity and responsible stewardship of our natural heritage. The OrganicForest is more than a family business - it is a way of life and a real place. Our 75 acres of old growth forest and a few areas of meadowland are located high in the southern Appalachian mountain range. Contiguous to the OrganicForest are thousands of acres of woodland that has not been touched for over a 100 years. This land next to us is threatened by commercial development. This mountain forest has been purchased by a home developer. Fortunately, with the current economic climate, plans are on hold for replacing this precious wildlife area with stick homes and asphalt roads and lawns. Thus, part of our mission: To use the proceeds of our OrganicForest wild plant sales to save as much of this incredible biosphere from the bulldozer as we possibly can. You can help by spreading the word about our efforts on blogs and forums. About The Organic Forest
