We are now accepting Fall Orders for Pick Up in Mid-October.

Golden Bough Tree Farm

We Grow From Seed

Welcome to our Fall Season!

We believe planting a tree is a way to send hope into the future and show a little tenderness to the big, beautiful Earth we all live upon. We offer a wide variety of trees for all situations: large or small spaces, wet or dry places. One major advantage of fall planting is that nature does most of the watering, so you don't have to spend as much time wrestling hoses and lugging buckets.

Some Trees prefer to be rehomed in Spring time and are therefore not available in our Fall sale. 

We will be taking orders from August 1st to October 14th for Pick Up on October 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th.

We are hosting Plant walks this Fall on October 17th and 18th. For more information, please see our Plant Walk page.   

We are working hard at Golden Bough to ensure the health and safety of our customers, staff and Trees. We ask that you respect Social Distancing when picking up your orders, but we look forward to seeing you at our farm! 

 To our valued Customers, Thank you! See you this Fall.

The Golden Bough

Sir James Frazer's dense 12-volume masterpiece, The Golden Bough, still forms a cornerstone of social anthropology. Starting from a grove sacred to Diana, south of Rome, the good professor's lifetime study led him to conclude that our ancestors believed in magic as a means of controlling or mitigating elemental forces. These systems of faith began, at least in part, with a reverance for trees. This, in turn, led to religious beliefs in which tribal gods and spirits were propiated by shamans attuned to the emotional needs and fears of their people. To Frazer, the logical third stage in this process was scientific thought. As Robert Temple explains in his Illustrated Golden Bough (an attractive modern abridgement to the original) Frazer's "work made clear for the first time (around 1900) that matters of human belief are important, not so much for their content, as for their psychological significance."
