So if you've been following me for any length of time, you know that I've had quite the personal

drama with fruit trees. I tried to grow them more conventionally and then I gave up and through some tantrums

and decided it wasn't possible in Wyoming. And then I very happily discovered that I actually

can grow fruit trees. I had a interview with, I think it was Bob Osborne is his name. He was a

couple of years ago here on the podcast. And he opened my eyes on that episode. You can kind of hear it in my voice. If you go back

and listen to it, I was like, oh my gosh, this is possible for me. But he was talking about cold,

hearty apples. And that discussion with Bob led me on this awesome rabbit trail down the world

of cold, hearty fruit. And so I now know that I can grow fruit trees in Wyoming

with some considerations. And that led me to a company that I've been ordering from consistently

for a couple of years now. So you may have heard you mentioned St. Lawrence Nurseries. They are

actually based in New York State, which is opposite from Wyoming in terms of location as you can

get. But the cool thing is, is they are a similar

climate, believe it or not, and they know their stuff when it comes to helping folks grow fruit

and berries, and I think even nuts in not tropical climates. So I've been wanting to have them

on the show for a while because I know many of you are in the same boat. You want to grow more

than your vegetables. You want to really expand into orchards or berries and you're not sure if it's possible. So Connor and

Alyssa are the owners of St. Lawrence, which is an organic nursery in Potsdam, New York. I'm

not sure if I'm saying that right. Am I saying it right? Yeah. Pastaam. Okay. So they have

cold hearty fruit and nut trees, a whole bunch of berries, all sorts of native plants.

The business is over 100 years old.

And they are the third non-family generation of owners.

So it's super cool.
