Heartwood Nursery

Logan Fields started Heartwood Nursery in 2018. Propagating fruits and nuts feels like one of the greatest gifts she can offer in a time that needs more nutritious food, slowing down, practice of thoughtful observation and reflection, soil and water conservation, carbon sequestration, and simply, more trees!

After working on annual vegetable farms for several seasons, it wasn’t until stepping into jobs on fruit and nut tree orchards she felt a true calling. The pace, longevity, resiliency, and generosity  of perennial plants felt like something to be shared with her greater community. Planting, tending, and encouraging perennial food sources felt like a realization of how we can transform our current food system and restore our environment.

She learned how to graft at Earth’s Rising Nursery, Oregon’s only certified organic fruit tree nursery. There she found great mentorship and a deep respect for the natural simplicity of nursery work and satisfying magic of growing trees.

Logan hopes that she can inspire folks to plant a tree (or two, or three!) not only for themselves but for future generations to enjoy.
