In 1998, the Turnbull family started working with a Swiss engineer to manufacture a one of a kind, custom bare root plant harvester that is still in use today on our farm.  In fall 2000, we began to use it for our harvest.  It turned a very laborious, back breaking job of harvesting plants out of the field into something more manageable for our employees.  It is also better for the plants harvested as there is less damage to the plants and more soil removed from the root system for better storage.  The fall harvest of plants generally begins after the first frost and we hope to be finished by Thanksgiving.  With the changing weather patterns, this does not always happen.  Many years we have had to harvest through wet, snowy days and this machine has made that easier!  Some plants are unable to be harvested with the custom harvester due to the long root systems or the size of the plants.  For that, we still use a walk behind harvester which gives everyone quite the work out!  Check out the links below to see how each machine works.

After the plants come out of the ground, they are loaded into pallets and taken to our climate controlled storages.  November through February is spent sorting plants according to size and bundling them.  Wholesale shipments start going out in December Once grading of plants is completed, we begin to work on getting the Retail Bare Root Barn ready for the opening in mid-March.  There is not much down time on the farm!
