Welcome to our 2026-27 catalog!
It’s time again for another edition of our catalog. We have been
busy this past year here at the nursery with both improving the
nursery and finding new offerings as well as reviving some old
favorites that have not been available for several years. We have
also been on several adventures and are looking forward to some new
ones in the coming year.
The nursery has been fairly quiet, we have thankfully not had any weather issues and the plants have been doing well. This is after several years of some major weather related issues. The orchard is finally looking like it should after the ice storm a couple years ago and the trees are really starting to look mature. We always like to encourage anyone in the area to come visit. We love to show the nursery and garden to people and feel that is a great way for the customer to really get a feel for what we are doing.
We just finished holding a wedding here on the place and it was a great experience for all involved. Our friend Jim’s daughter Siobhan married Simon. We have known her since she was 5 years old and it was fun to help share in this next step. Simon is from France and they both live and work in France so there we had roughly 20 people who came from France for the wedding. Most had never been here before so it was a great opportunity to share our home and northwest with them. We had roughly 100 guests and set up a large tent for the reception and everyone seemed happy with the event.
The orchard is just getting ready for the 2026 harvest. We are expecting to produce around 85,000 pounds of nuts this year. The 2025 crop was a crazy year! 66% of the worlds hazelnuts currently come from Turkey and they experienced a devastating freeze and because of that our 2025 crop price doubled. This was a great help and allowed us to buy a couple more pieces of equipment earlier than we had planned. Within about four years, we should be producing 150,000 pounds a year.
Amy and Ken Woxell rent the house that Marj used to live in and Amy has become the trail camera queen of the area. She has a number of cameras on the property getting still photos and video of all the animals moving around. This list of species continues to grow. In the last year we have Deer, Cougar, Bobcat, Turkey, Owls, Hawks, Raccoons, Possums, Beaver, Bear, Foxes and various other visitors. It’s amazing to see all the species and never see most of them, they are all very nocturnal. Amy and Ken have also set up a table by the office selling small polished rocks they have collected from around Oregon. They have thunder eggs cut and polished, petrified wood cut and polished and Obsidian cut and polished. They have sold quite a lot and keep restocking the table. They are using the proceeds to help fund their trips and supplies.
Roger was able to complete the tour he had to the LA area after having to cancel last year due to the fires. He had a great time and was able to share many new and exciting gardens and museums with those along for the trip. He has another tour this October to the Philadelphia area coming up soon and is excited to get on the road for that one.
Pierce is closing in on his Biology degree from Bushnell University here in Eugene and is working for us in between classes. He and Mia live here on the property and it is nice having them here to help keep track of everything on the place.
Dawn and I just returned from a horse show in Reno, Nevada and once again she and Whizard were very successful. She was very lucky to find him and he has allowed her to achieve things she never dreamed possible. This last fall he won multiple national championships at US nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They also did really well in Scottsdale, Arizona this February. She is running out of places to put the ribbons, bronzes, and plaques. It’s a wonderful experience for her and she looks forward to the next adventure a return to US nationals in October to try and repeat last year’s successes.
While Dawn was off enjoying the horse show, I dropped her off each morning and headed for some great golf courses. It’s given me the opportunity to discover some great new courses and play with some friends who are either at the show as well or traveling in the area. In Scottsdale in February, I played seven rounds in nine days and in Reno I played five rounds in five days. It has been a great way for both of us to get away and enjoy our hobbies together. In the evenings, I head back and watch Dawn show in her classes.
As for the nursery, we have made a major change in the garden. We removed one large area and replaced it with a large lawn. We did this for several reasons, but we are excited about the new views this is offering us and visitors. We still have some changes and planting to do this winter but feel by next year the remodel will be complete. We have added many new plants to the catalog this year. A few Roger is really excited about are several new Ginkos and Stewartias. These are very rare and really special offerings.
Thanks for your ongoing support and we look forward to hearing from you this coming season. Please feel free to call us and ask questions. Roger is always happy to provide any advice he can and can try to provide alternatives when possible.
Thanks, as always, to Lisa for all the help with the inventory (she hand counts every plant in the nursery!), catalog layout, and data entry. Diana with the catalog proofing, Wayne for his never-ending work in the nursery, and Pierce for his work on the farm and nursery. It is truly a team effort here and we all do our best to keep things moving forward into the future.
