Digging some birch-leaved pears we started from seed this year. Nice and pencil thick, ready to be used as rootstocks for grafting Asian pears in the spring. Snapdragons in the background hanging in there late into the season. #trees #gardening #nursery #roots #flowers #fall

Fall cleanup crew #sheep #team

Shellbark hickory aka Kingnut. North America’s largest nut and along with pecan, probably the tastiest! Excited to start stratification this weekend with plans to offer lots of seedlings next year 🌳

Good morning 😁

Pepper & Franklin in some cool season grasses 💚 After lots of work this fall taking down ash trees & clearing brush, we’re expanding our sheep pasture down near our road where we’re planning a little paw paw, mulberry & asian pear orchard. Sheep are getting their first taste of it today #sheep #farm

Family dinner #sheep #dinner

The crew, some seeds to stratify, digging american groundnuts, witch hazel season. #sheep #trees #nativeplants #gardening #fall

Munching away #sheep #dinner

More fall stuff, private petting zoo, garden gnome waiting for some rain among saffron crocuses, digging some nice hairy hazelnuts (these could be yours 😉📦), and some happy mushrooms taking over the garden beds wherever oats and pea cover crop is missing. #gardening #sheep #fall #plants

Busy fall days 😁 Pepper packing on the cute, digging air-prune box trees & heeling into the nursery garden, moving some big trees out of the garden and into their forever spots, like this Oscar mulberry that was just grafted as a lil pencil-sized twig this spring 🌳 #gardening #trees #nursery #sheep

Plant some nut trees this fall! 🌱🌳Bare root trees available for shipping, $6-10 each. Chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and yellowhorn alpenglowfarmnj.com/nursery

We’ve seen a coyote on the trail cam sniffing around our fenceline for the past week, so the lil sheep are sleeping in the barn at night rather than out in the field for the 1st time in their lives. Getting used to the routine. Baited electric fence with peanut butter, hopefully that moves it along

Big sunrise, black walnuts piling up, bumbles sleeping in the saffron crocuses, sheep posing with some alpenglow #farm #sunrise #nuts #walnuts #saffron #foodforest #sheep

Sheep have been weathering the storm in the barn munching hay, but gathered outside for some pets this morning 😊 #storm #sheep #babydollsheep #cute #farm #friends

Fall stars 🤩 Chokeberries awaiting hungry birds, asters loaded with bees, a nice stand of little bluestem self-seeding in the meadow, and some wintergreen ready to refresh 😁 #nativeplants #meadow #flowers #berries #grass #wildlife #pollinators #gardening

Fall is in the air, first frost tonight, chestnuts are dropping and wary little sheep are getting familiar with their barn again after living out in the field for the past 7 months. #chestnuts #sheep #fall #frost

American persimmon season is approaching! A beautiful native tree that provides sugary Halloween treats for all while hosting many important species, including the larva of the incredible Luna Moth. We have bare root seedlings available for shipping at alpenglowfarmnj.com/nursery

Doesn’t get cuter than Hammy in the fall 🍂💛 #babydollsheep #sheep #love #friends

Hello all, just a reminder that you will never regret planting a chestnut tree. Still have some for sale at alpenglowfarmnj.com & will gladly answer any questions, we are just as obsessed with talking about trees as we are eating things that fall out of them. 💚🌰🌱🌳

Ham & Pep #sheep #babydollsheep #cute #friends

Time to collect bottlebrush buckeye seed 🌳🤓 Like paw paw, bottlebrush seeds are recalcitrant, so if they dry out they are a no go. Need to collect promptly and keep moist until planting. We have a lot of plants so it’ll be fun to grow out some to share! #nativeplants #flowers #seedsaving

Sugar maples loaded up with future trees 🚁 (or snacks, the seeds are edible) #samaras #trees #fall #maple #foraging #seeds 🌱🌳

Last weekend of summer #farm #flowers #nuts #berries #sheep

Daily farm chores 🙄 #sheep #pets #cute #farm #friends

We still have loads of hazelnut seedlings available for fall planting! Very low maintenance, great as a hedge, and super productive after just a few years. These are seedlings of cultivar euro hazelnuts, bred for great nuts & disease resistance. alpenglowfarmnj.com/nursery #gardening #foodforest 🌱

We cut up an old dead tree with chicken on it a few years ago, and this garden log and a few of its siblings still reliably produce #mushrooms #fungi #gardening #chicken #foodforest

Pepper is putting on the fluff. We had to trim the wool around her eyes so she can see, and will have to every month or two until spring 💚 #babydollsheep #sheep #pets #wool
