Tree and Wildlife Seed Sale

We’re proud to once again offer our annual Wildlife Seed and Tree Sale to the Noble County community! Whether you’re planting conifers, hardwoods, fruit trees, or establishing a new wildlife food plot, we’ve got the varieties you’re looking for at prices that make it easy to plan ahead for spring.

Each year, we seek out trusted suppliers to bring you quality bare root seedlings at reduced rates, thanks to bulk ordering. This year’s trees come from Alpha Nurseries, Inc. and Adams County Nursery, with seedlings ready to take home and plant right away.

We’re also continuing our successful partnership with Merit Seed of Berlin, Ohio to offer top-performing wildlife food plot mixes. You’ll find 3-pound bag options on our order form, and we’re happy to help you order larger quantities if needed. You’ll receive the same pricing as you would in-store without paying the high shipping costs. Feel free to browse their full selection at www.meritseed.com.

To make things easier, this year’s tree prices already include sales tax so there is no extra math needed. The final day to submit your order is Friday, March 7, 2025, and the tentative pick-up date is April 11, 2025.
