Spring shipping 2017 begins Feb 20th. As with all farming we are at the mercy of the weather and the winter of 2016-17 has been challenging. We have seen 2 feet of snow in the nursery and over 1 inch of ice. Greenhouse snow load capacity were tested (no damage thankfully) and temperatures dipped into the teens. Despite all these challenges we have pushed forward. Unfortunately due to the snow and ice persisting for several weeks we have experienced a 2-3 week delay in digging the trees out of the ground.
Therefore Spring Shipping 2017 begins Feb 20th this year. Customers who have provided emails with their order will receive a tracking number for the package. Local pick ups will also be available at the same time. Orders will be shipped in the order that they were received. We ship to Zones 9,8,7 first due to the weather then followed by zones 6 then 5 etc. If you are zone 5-4 please expect your shipment around the first week of April.
We are working to improve communications regarding shipping this year and so in addition to receiving tracking information once the package is shipped we will be sending email notifications when your order is being prepped for delivery a week or so before it goes out to give you time to prep your yard or make any last minute adjustments.
You can always refer to our Shipping page for the most up to date information. Thanks and let us know if you have any questions.
