Growing the ancient trees of the future
Hopewell
Reconnect With Nature.
At Hopewell Trees Farm, we specialize in growing northeast native trees to thriving landscape-ready sizes. Using air-pruning containers and other innovative methods, we cultivate strong, fibrous root systems and avoid the ingrown structural flaws and transplant setbacks that come with traditional pots and tree spade harvesting. Our goal is to offer trees that establish quickly, live longer, and truly belong in our regional ecosystems.
Alongside our nursery rows, we are planting a working food forest designed for local food security. Here you’ll find mostly native, low-input trees pawpaw, red mulberry, American and Asian chestnuts, persimmons, Asian pears, and more selected for their ability to produce abundant fruit with little or no pesticide use. By combining resilient tree crops with climate-adapted natives, Hopewell Trees Farm is creating a living model of how healthy landscapes and nourishing food can grow together.
