Friendship Farms Native Plant Nursery
and Land Restoration Services
We provide a high quality and dependable
source of native plant material.
Many regionally native plants are grown locally at Friendship Farms’ nursery. We also work closely with other highly reputable nurseries to quickly procure needed plant material. Where locally specific genetics are a priority, we are able to assist with seed collection and subsequent contract growing of plants.
Our professional services for land restoration projects include the following:
We complete site finishing and native habitat restoration for acid mine drainage (AMD) and other environmental clean-up sites.
Our ecologists can perform a preliminary site analysis and plant inventory.
When invasive plants are determined to be a problem, we offer recommendations and implementation of control measures.
We provide recommendations for native plant material and installation of native plant communities.
We assist with design of habitat areas and can implement construction of these projects.
Using natural stream design methods and native plantings, we facilitate streambank stabilization and the restoration of riparian or stream bank buffers.
We organize and oversee conservation volunteers for the implementation of restoration projects.
We also provide the following conservation services:
Natural landscaping (design and installation)
Agricultural conservation projects i.e. spring developments, barnyard stabilization, fencing, cattle crossings.
Landscape and nature photography services.
Friendship Farms is located next to Chestnut Ridge in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania.The farm is a family-run business, which consists of a retail store (selling natural breads and beef raised on the farm), and the native plant nursery and land improvement services. The nursery and land restoration business was formed out of our love for nature and our years of experience balancing an agricultural business with conservation practices. Friendship Farms believes strongly in the use of environmentally sensitive development practices, the preservation of responsible agriculture and the restoration of our native plant communities. We hope to use our farm as an educational vehicle for conservation related issues and practices in the future. Please feel free to visit our farm at 147 Friendship Farms Road located in Lycippus, PA or call for more information.
