Our Roots

Where agriculture and ecology grow together

Run-a-Muck Farms is a working permaculture homestead on South-Central Pennsylvania land the family has stewarded.

We grow cut flowers, mixed vegetables, and fiber hemp, and are planting the first trees of a long-term food forest. Everything here is designed to get better with time.

What We Grow

Growing in 2026

New · Ships Fall 2027

We're building a tree nursery.

Chestnuts, hazelnuts, and oaks going into the beds this winter, with the first block scheduled to ship in fall 2027. Proven genetic lines for production plantings, native selections for habitat and resilience.

  • Chestnuts
  • Hazelnuts
  • Oaks

No deposit today. The seed is not in the ground yet, so telling us now still changes what we sow.

Why Field-Grown

Local stems outlast the grocery store

Roughly 80% of cut flowers sold in the United States are imported and travel thousands of miles before they reach a vase. Ours are cut that morning, a few steps from where they grew.

24 hrs

Field to vase

Every stem is cut the morning of delivery. Imported grocery-store flowers are typically 7–14 days old before they hit the cooler.

~80%

Of US cut flowers are imported

Most travel 1,500+ miles from Colombia or Ecuador. Ours travel from the rows of our field on Big Mount Road.

2–3×

Longer vase life

No shipping chemicals, no cold-chain stress. Field-fresh local stems hold for 7–14 days versus 3–5 for big-box bouquets.

30 mi

Same-day delivery radius

Wholesale to florists, weekly subscriptions, and event flowers within ~30 miles of Dover — harvested and on your table the same day.
