Mace Chasm Farm’s existing tree nursery is expanding to offer wholesale, native, bareroot shrubs and trees for conservation projects in our region. The farm is engaging regional conservation planning organizations to prioritize specific crops that will support regional wholesale market demand.
Grant funding is supporting the infrastructure upgrades necessary for the farm’s transition. Mace Chasm Farm is installing a tree storage cooler in their barn that will allow for plant materials to be dug in the fall and stored until the spring planting season.
The farm’s initial production goal is 2,000 stems. Over the longer-term, production may rise to 10-20,000 stems.
