OUR CURRENT NURSERY OFFERINGS
Why Perennial Plants?
Unlike typical annual garden veggies, perennial plants come back year-after-year. They have the intelligence to be able to rest and regenerate themselves. Many of them mine deep for nutrients and minerals and have natural protection against diseases and pests. If we are what we eat, we want to eat SMART, RESILIENT, PERENNIAL FOOD!
We're blessed to be homesteading on a piece of pristine land in the Santa Cruz mountains that never has had a drop of chemicals touch it. We call it Sandhill Springs Farm. Our plants are irrigated with a freshwater spring that bursts out of our mountain and all of our crops are grown organically and with loving intentions. Now our food forest is producing more than enough for our families, and we're happy to be able to share our abundance with you.

Comfrey Roots & Crowns - Bocking 14
Comfrey is the workhorse of a perennial garden! It gives so much and asks for so little...and did we mention that it's BEAUTIFUL?! In addition to its gorgeous leaves and flowers, it gives us home-grown fertilizer and medicine. We grow it around our fruit trees and as a border around our veggie gardens. We simply couldn't grow the amazing things we do in our food forest without this miraculous plant.
Magic Runner Beans
If Jack really had a bag of magic beans, they would have been runner beans! Runner beans are our absolute favorite perennial bean. These beans are gorgeous, yummy, and climb to the sky with ease. We've collected rare runner bean varieties from around the world and have continued to select for perennial nature, amazing colors, and rich, savory taste. You'll receive a blend of colors from our collection and can enjoy the rich variety of colors of beans and blossoms. Once you taste our runner beans, you'll forget that any other bean ever existed.
Hi, I'm Dr. Christy!
I've been practicing natural medicine for 20 years. 8 years ago, my family and I moved to the mountains to start our family homestead. My goal was simple ... "How do I grow tons of food and medicine, that's super nutrient-dense and delicious, with the least amount of work?" The answer ... perennial plants.
Hi, I'm Avry!
I began my agriculture journey 10 years ago and have been farming and gardening naturally ever since. This path brought me to California and eventually meeting Dr. Christy at Sandhill Springs Farm. After farming annual vegetables for years and understanding the work involved, growing perennial plants is a no-brainer!
