This place was a disorganized mess. The man working was nice enough but not very helpful. Plants are in so-so shape.

Better selection of plants than most nurseries I called in the area (Aug 2021). Lots of apple varieties as well as blueberries and several raspberries and blackberries. Couple heads up: no cell phone service for several miles before the nursery, so make sure you've got your GPS directions pulled up in advance. Google maps will take you right to the nursery though. Fairly backwoods area you're driving through to get there, good signage though once you're within a mile of the nursery. As of Aug 2021 prices for most plants were $20 for 1 gallon plants (apples, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and several others), $25 for 2 gallon plants. $30 for 3 gallon and $40 for 5 gallon plants. Owner Lyndon was helpful and pleasant, I'll be back!

Debbie has been very helpful in providing our pick-your-own orchard with a variety of persimmon trees. They arrived in great condition to Sweet Retreat Orchard.
