On this regenerative farm tucked away in the Mohawk Valley of NY state, there are currently 9 thousand willow plants. These include over 50 different heritage varities from Europe alongside native and wild willows being collected and cultivated. We grow willow that is ideal for use in basketry, living structures, land remediation, floristry, and bark harvesting.
Willow is cut annually, dried and sorted for use in basketry. We are expanding each year and working hard to supply basket makers with live cuttings and dried willow for basketry. Check back in the Spring of 2025 for availability of dried willow for basketry.
Starting in 2025 we will be offering willow basketry classes here at the farm. check back for more information and sign up for our newsletter for updates.
Live Willow Cuttings are now closed for the year. Check back in January 2025 or check out the varieties we offer - Here
