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

Hungry Hook Farm makes a conscious effort to grow all plants from local, sustainably-collected seed whenever possible. Our potting soil is peat-free and all plants are organically-grown. Discounts are available for non-profit organizations and orders over 50 plants. Advice on the right plants for your site is always free.

Hungry Hook Farm is currently engaged in research involving germination and seed increase of native annuals--both forb and graminoid species that thrive in areas of soil disturbance. We are also working with a local agency to propagate Viola species for habitat restoration.
