WHO WE ARE
Hopewell Native Tree Farm is a regenerative nursery and ecological education project based in Little Town, Massachusetts. We grow the native trees that once defined this region’s ancient ecosystems — and we use them to help communities rebuild a healthier, more connected future.
We honor the landscape as it existed 500 years before contact, drawing wisdom from Indigenous ecological principles, natural history, and the resilience of native species. Our work blends ancestral knowledge, modern science, and community connection to grow what we call a hopeful civilization — one rooted in care, balance, and regeneration.
At Hopewell, trees are more than plants. They are teachers, connectors, and living bridges that reconnect people to the land and to each other.

Our Mission
Hopewell Native Tree Farm was born from a simple, powerful question: What would it look like if the land was truly healed—and not just managed?
On a quiet stretch of historic orchard land in Littleton, Massachusetts, we are reimagining what a tree farm can be. Where rows of aging apple trees once struggled under the burden of chemicals and disease, native forests are returning.
Oaks, hickories, chestnuts, paw paws, mulberries, and countless other species are being planted with care, patience, and long-term vision.
Hopewell is not just a place where trees are grown. It is a place where relationships are restored—between soil and roots, people and plants, past and future.

Why Native Trees Matter?
Native trees are the foundation of healthy ecosystems. Unlike clonal ornamental production, native species:
Support hundreds of insects, birds, and mammals
A single healthy forest has the power to support it.
Build resilient soil carbon systems
Regulate water and temperature
Strengthen food webs and pollinator networks
