Our Story

Far Reaches Farm is a rare plant specialty nursery in Port Townsend, Washington with thousands of plant taxa represented in our collection! We make our extraordinary plants available to everyone in the US through our mail order and (currently closed) retail nursery. The pandemic has greatly impacted our staffing levels and negatively influenced the local labor force as well. We can’t see being able to reopen for onsite shopping here anytime in the foreseeable future, alas. Fortunately, mail order has been very good but it is very surreal to be going into year two without having our plant friends poring over the plant tables!

We do have curbside pick up available year-round! You can order online, or give a call or email. We have a handy table right inside our front gate where you can come pick up.

Port Townsend is one heck of a destination for a weekend visit: good restaurants, great lodging, art, music, scenery, beaches and intriguing shops. William James Bookstore is in a league of its own for second-hand books. Best burger and house salad in town is either at Siren's Pub or Owl Sprit Cafe. Port Townsend Brewery and The Pourhouse are good choices for a pint and there is some fine coffee from local roaster extraordinaire, Sunrise Coffee. The Farmer's Market in Uptown on Saturday morning 9-2 is awesome. If you want a getaway, come to PT and visit the nursery and have some fun because, after all, the Port Townsend motto is: "We're all here because we're not all there."
