Hungry Hook Farm is dedicated to promoting the indigenous plants of Pennsylvania and the Eastern Woodlands. Every backyard and each landscape has the potential to contribute to plant and animal biodiversity in a positive way. Indigenous plants are an integral part of biodiversity because they are the building blocks of healthy and sustainable local ecosystems. Genetic diversity is also important for the continuation of indigenous plant species. We work to ensure this diversity by growing plants from open-pollinated seed collected from local ecotypes.

Note: We have had reports of certain species, bought here at the nursery in Spring 2022, not surviving after planting despite good care. We believe this is due to a different potting soil mix that was used for the following plant species: Shrubby St. John's wort, any fern species, Hoary mountain mint, Culver's root, Foxglove beardtongue, Butterfly milkweed, Bush honeysuckle, Red chokeberry, Wild columbine, Wild ginger and possible others. If you bought any of these species and would like a replacement or refund, please email orders@hungryhookfarm.com and include the following information: your name, species and quantity purchased and date of purchase. We value your business and want to make this right. Thank you for understanding.
