Empire Perennials & Apiary
I started growing native, Indiana perennials in 2019 for my 3 acres. I decided the following year that I would start growing perennials for sale and had a good first year with a limited inventory. One of my main objectives is to try and grow some uncommon natives and expand my inventory. I collect seeds from local plants as much as possible to preserve local genotypes. I list on my blog where seeds were harvested or the company from which I purchased seeds. Currently, I grow and sell on my property, cash only and advertise on Facebook. I hope to sell at Farmers markets in the near future.
