Welcome to Our Nursery

We are a small family farm and nursery located in the beautiful state of Indiana. Our commitment is to grow and sell only certified organic and non-GMO plants and supplies. We cater to all customers who wish to enrich their lives by growing their own delicious berries. Thank you for your continued support and camaraderie in building a cleaner, healthier, and more respectful world.

Now Taking Orders for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025

Fall and Spring Shipments

We are now taking orders for fall 2024 shipments of potted berry plants.
Also reserving paid orders for spring 2025 if you indicate that on your order form.

Flexible Planting Times

Remember, potted stock can be planted any time of the year and does not need to be planted only in spring. Our alpine plugs travel well and establish strongly, even in the summer and fall months. With potted stock, you can relax and take your time without worrying about the stressful rush of bare-root planting.

Order Processing Time

Please note that we take time to process your order. See the cart page for notices. We do not ship during the same week you order in the spring shipping season due to a queue from earlier orders. Typically, orders placed in May will ship within 1-2 weeks, depending on holidays. By June, we aim to ship your order the week after you place it. Thank you for your patience!

Special Notice for California Residents

As of 3/08/2024, we are able to ship quart size plants to California due to our updated compliance agreement for the spotted lantern fly (SLF) pest. However, California may require an APHIS Phytocertificate for each order. These certificates take a lot of coordination and time to complete and submit. It is wise to email keith@backyardberryplants.com to review your order before submitting and paying for it. Currently, we are not shipping any 2-gallon planting stock to California.

Important Reminders

Email Communications

Be sure to check your spam folders for emails from our website, as they are often flagged. Ensure you have cleared Backyard Berry Plants for your inbox. Double-check the email and shipping info on your order, as auto-fill can sometimes input incorrect or old email addresses, which we cannot deduce unless you are a previous customer.

Local Pickups

We only allow pre-paid, pre-arranged pickups at our nursery for local customers. We do not allow retail, drop-in shopping, as we are too busy with our work to accommodate that. Please do not drop by unannounced without an appointment.

Our Plant Offerings

Large, 2-Gallon Potted Berry Plants

We have large, 2-year, 2-gallon size potted berry plants that are fully rooted and ship in their pots to your garden, ready to grow. We do not offer bare-root plants.

Organic Berry Collections

Looking for something smaller or good diversity at a competitive price? Check out our Organic Berry Collections. They provide an affordable way to get into berry growing, with no ground shipping cost. These younger, well-rooted plants are just 1-1½ years behind our larger 2-gallon stock. Following our Planting Guide and Plant Care guidelines, these younger plants will flourish.

Free Shipping on Select Quart Size Plants

We offer free shipping on select quart size, 1-year potted blueberry and raspberry plants. These are 1-year, fully rooted plants in quart size pots. The free shipping option will appear if available, to any state in the contiguous US, with no minimum order required.

Small Order Fee

Orders under $42, like single plant orders of our quart size plants (or a single strawberry collection), will incur a small order fee.

Delivery Date Changes

If you change the UPS delivery date once the order is shipped, all warranties and plant guarantees are void. We ship plants to arrive as quickly as possible, and changing delivery dates jeopardizes this unnecessarily.

Blueberry Shipments to Oregon and Washington

We do not ship blueberry plants to Oregon or Washington due to those state’s regulations.

Thank you for choosing our nursery, and happy planting!
