They have been absolutely great, incredible customer service, and dependable products. I ordered 75 strawberries, several other kinds of berries, and rhubarb, and so far everything is coming up well (with the exception of one strawberry bare root, but since they also sent me two extra plants by accident, I'm still ahead). They are incredibly helpful with their "ask an expert" feature--as I am a newbie, I really appreciate their counsel and advice. I will be a customer with these folks for years to come. |

This is the only place that I'll order my strawberry plants from! (if only they carried Hood strawberries...) |
Positive | bstnh1 (6 reviews) | On May 15, 2019, bstnh1 Barrington, NH (Zone 5a) wrote: Ordered from Nourse Farms this Spring for the first time. I ordered Raspberry bushes and all I can say is WOW! The plants were shipped at the time I specified; they were the best packed plants I have ever received; they came in one day and they are absolutely fantastic. I have ordered raspberries before from Gurneys and they arrived with a few small hair-like roots no longer than a couple of inches. The ones from Nourse have a tangle of heavy roots, some over 2 feet long. No comparison whatsoever, even though the price was similar. They include a very comprehensive full color growing guide along with the shipment that has a wealth of good information. Great company and I'm sure I'll be ordering again. |
Positive | RenaMay (1 review) | On Apr 24, 2019, RenaMay Gibbstown, NJ wrote: My first purchase of 50 bare root strawberry plants was seamless. I asked for them to ship for arrival on a certain date. Package came on that date. Plants were well-packaged, healthy, and detailed planting instructions were provided, along with a "dip solution" to coat the roots and enable better success. I planted within one day, and all plants are thriving. I am very impressed with Nourse and will buy again. |

They all arrived on time and in good condition. All leafed out, thrived and proved to be disease free. They are spreading nicely and all have good flavor. Keep up the good work, Nourse! We can't wait to order from you again! |
Positive | cyberjus (1 review) | On Aug 27, 2018, cyberjus Williston, VT wrote: Purchased a strawberry collection (75 plants), 8 blueberries, and 10 raspberries shipped this spring from Nourse. Everything arrived in amazing condition, still dormant, and with great roots. One of the raspberries had an almost 4 foot long root. All plants leafed out very well over this summer. Plants were cheaper and in better condition than I got from any other seller. |
Positive | scandia (1 review) | On Jul 1, 2018, scandia Fredericksburg, VA wrote: I bought the All Season Easy Starter strawberry collection from Nourse about 3 weeks ago. My husband quickly built my raised beds while we were waiting for them to arrive and I filled them with an equal mix of mushroom compost and decomposed leaves, watering it in with each layer of medium. Once the strawberries arrived I soaked them in the hydration slurry crystals they provided and planted each 25-count bunch in my three 4'x10' raised bed boxes equally apart, leaving room for the runners of these plants to produce and root new plantlets as they grow. It has now been ONE week and these berry plants are going crazy with emerging leaves! However, and it may be the variety, the Sparkle plants are a little smaller compared to Earliglow and Allstar plants, and have 3 plants that have yet to show any green, but I'm not concerned. For the price and the initial overall growth of these bareroot plants I am VERY pleased with how they are doing so far, and look forward to years of production of these berries and their offshoots of this delicious fruit. |

They've all produced small amounts of fruit, but nothing I can make real use of yet. The plants are consistent and hardy though. They tolerate deer nibbles, cold frosts and everything else. |
Positive | JimmyVincent (1 review) | On Feb 25, 2018, JimmyVincent Cross City, FL wrote: I recently had the GREAT pleasure of utilizing the generous services of Nourse Farms. I ordered 50 bare root Earliglow strawberry plants, to go into my first attempt at plasticulture. They arrived fresh and vibrant, included an instructional catalog, two free plants and a free pack of Viterra Agri-gel root dip! Being a novice, I was able to access their on-line tutorial videos to answer my remaining questions and was prompted to call and speak to one of their professionals, anytime the need arose. This is a truly well managed and honest company, from which I look forward to many years of patronage. |

I am so happy I did! They shipped me the correct plants, on the shipping date I requested, and with speedy shipping service (the plants were miraculously still dormant). My new plants were very carefully packaged, and have been doing great in my garden. |

Today, I received some good looking blackberries and already have them in the ground. It still smarts that I can't grow raspberries in this part of Texas, but Nourse more than rectified the situation. I will continue to do business with them and encourage others to do the same if you want quality plants at great prices. |
Positive | DavidPutty (4 reviews) | On Jun 24, 2016, DavidPutty Arlington, VA wrote: I ordered three currants from them which were very cheap, only $8 (the size of the plant that I would receive was unclear though and undisclosed at purchase). The plants shipped out the next via ground and arrived within a week. The plants were quite small, 6" or less but have been growing like crazy since I have planted them. I would order from them again. |

He is amazingly responsive and quick to answer any questions and concerns. Also, only a few of my raspberries came in (probably my fault) and Micah assured me he would replace them. I just ordered another 150 strawberry plants, too. And, my blackberries are taking over my little flower bed. This is the best place to buy berries and anything on their site, really. I have purchased plants from other places. The quality and responsiveness of Nourse Farms plants and staff far supersedes all others. Thank you, Micah!!! |

Positive | gardenkarma (9 reviews) | On Jul 3, 2015, gardenkarma Allston, MA wrote: Difficult to curb my enthusiasm for this company - and not just because of their proximity to my garden's location. They know what they're doing and they do it well. They are specialists and their berry plants will tell their tale. If you can manage to have difficulty with the company or their product, you have gone out of your way to bring difficulty into your life. Truly my favourite source for berry plants and, when I'm not planting anything new, I'm following their informative posts on facebook. Not a surprise that many mail-order companies will buy their berry stock from this company. Already I tell all of my garden buddies to order (or visit) here and I will continue to do so. |

Positive | scarby (5 reviews) | On Apr 27, 2015, scarby Grovertown, IN wrote: Found Nourse Farms through this site. There is an obvious reason they are rated so high. I ordered 3 varieties of strawberries through them in January. On two of the varieties, I ordered 25 crowns and received 27. I really like the idea of being able to pick the week you want your order to arrive. A week before my expected delivery I received an email reminder that my plants were about to be sent. Plus an email on the day they were shipped. Overall a great experience! |

The packaging was impeccable. Roots in moist dirt, wrapped in plastic. The individual plants were completely wrapped in large cell bubble wrap. No damage to plants at all during shipping. Would definitely order again. |
Positive | MrsDTM (2 reviews) | On Jan 17, 2015, MrsDTM Lyndeborough, NH wrote: The summer of 2014 was my first experience with Nourse Farms. I ordered a small sampling of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Everything arrived when expected and appeared to be of healthy stock. Having followed their planting guides ... I was amazed at how quickly and beautifully ALL of the plants grew. I expected at least a half dozen or more would probably not make it ... but every single plant thrived. So I just pre-ordered more raspberries, blueberries, strawberries ... and added blackberries and asparagus. Can't wait for Spring! |
