The 11th Annual LCF Plant Sale

Last year we cancelled the actual sale day due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. This year we will have a sale day, and we will follow all protocol for doing so in a safe and careful manner. The easiest way to do this will be to have a lot of preorders so that plants are already packed up and easy to hand over to you on the sale day. Thus, we encourage people to preorder their plants, which hopefully will be easy to do through the new online store! What? Yeah! Check it out!

It’s only a tab away up in the menu bar at the top of the screen. This page is still super useful, however, because the shop does not have any of the detailed information about the plants – you have to use the catalog to find all of that, and then go to the store to submit your order.

The Loping Coyote Farms plant nursery offers you access to a whole suite of plants that we use ourselves in our edible food forests and ecological farming systems in the Reno area. The species and cultivars that make the cut in the nursery are those that we have found to work best for us in the harsh climatic conditions of our Eastern Sierra/Great Basin area. We offer plant representatives from all the layers of a food forest, from the roots and herbs up to the giant emergent canopy plants. We have attempted to offer plants representing all of the functions that an edible forest ecology entails, from fruit and nut production to nitrogen fixation, insectary and ground cover. Our hope is to help spread interest in perennial-plant-based systems by giving local people the plants they need to get these systems going in their own ground. We do also love our annual veggies and flowers, so we offer some of those plants as well.

Our 2021 Plant Catalog is officially UP. It’s an exciting well-rounded offering this year, and the catalog is full of good information, so please either download the catalog or read it here on the website, and enjoy! You can place your plant orders using our brand new Online Store. If the online store isn’t to your liking, just send us an email with your list of plants. There is none of the detailed plant information on the store, so the plant catalog is still the place to go to get familiar with the offerings before purchasing on the store. If there’s a specific plant you want and you don’t see it in the catalog, let us know. We may be able to get it for you. For a list of our all our previous offerings, check out our LCF Master Plant List.

Also, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter so you can be sure to get a reminder about the plant sale, or to know when each year’s new catalog is up. We still accept cash and checks through the online store, as well as credit cards and PayPal. Please contact us with any questions or requests. Happy planting dreams!
