I really want to grow my own organic berries, but I dont know where to get seeds or plants for it. any help? thankx! 🙂
rose… what store? they dont sell organic berrie plants/seeds at walmart, so "the store" dosn't really help.
hey amber 😀

it is almost impossible to find certified organic berry plants. I sources some cert organic strawberry plants last year but they cost $10 ea (compared to 250 plants for $65 of conventionally raised plants). These straewberry plants were in california and limited in supply as well.

I make my living growing organically but buying perennial fruit is place where I have had no luck finding certified plants. So i use conventional and figure by the time most produce after 1 or 2 years they are quite organic from the years or organic management they get on my farm.

I would try the following

You will not find such plants at a box store like Lowe's or Wal-mart.

You don't say what kind of berries but most grow from cuttings, runners, etc and NOT from seed. if they do grow from seed it will be 3 to 5 years before they will fruit.

You might try asking the local organic/sustainable farms in your area if they have any extra plants they have dug up to thin out their berry patches. I know we could have dug up thousands of raspberry plants and in the past have had tens of thousands of strawberry plants to sell from having to thin out an out of control patch.
