Green Acre Farm & Nursery is in its 45th year in North Greece. The Garden Center & Farm Market was founded in 1978 by Jack and Millie Edmond.
In the early days we carried a complete line of gardening plants, nursery stock, and hardgoods, as well as Hainsworth eggs, Perry’s Ice cream, milk and bread.
Thanks to community support we have flourished over the years. Although the dairy sales have ceased, we now carry a complete line of nursery stock, an enormous selection of perennials, an unending supply of bagged goods, and Turf Line’s best fertilizers.
Our 11,000+ sq. ft. glass greenhouse is home to the best bedding plants, hanging baskets and perennials in the area. Our greenhouse also boasts our own branded pot, the ‘Jack Pot’, featuring only the best, most proven annual and perennial varieties. In the summer months we continue the tradition of selling only the finest homegrown produce from local growers. The fall brings a flurry of excitement. Working in cooperation with our neighbor, Green Acre Farm, we celebrate the apple harvest for nearly two full months. This includes fresh pressed apple cider, homemade pies, pumpkins, crafts and, of course, our famous fry cakes! Our season does not end, though, until Christmas Eve when our fresh cut trees, handmade wreaths, poinsettias and garlands are all available.
Green Acre Farm & Nursery continues to be a family-run business. Although Jack Sr. (1950-2002) is no longer with us, he taught us well over the years and the Edmond family is ever present. You can still find Millie (of course) around the store, touching base with old friends and pitching in wherever needed. Jack Jr. manages the nursery and can diagnose and remedy almost any garden ailment. Janice can be found managing the store and answering fertilizer and chemical questions. Joe ‘The Hummingbird’ is always busy managing the greenhouse, answering questions and being Mr. Fixit. Mike can be found assisting customers, making the endless amount of deliveries and keeping the loading area ship shape. Kim attends to the office and helps keep the greenhouse stocked in an orderly fashion.
At Green Acre we pride ourselves on our knowledge, our service, our quality, our compassionate ears and our friendly smiles.
