FAQ
-
Do You Offer Combined Shipping Or Refunds Of Shipping Overages?When possible, I do offer refunds of shipping overages. If you see a shipping fee that seems too high, please send me a message to compare shipping providers!
-
Do you offer International Shipping?Yes, I can ship some items internationally. You are responsible for knowing what can and cannot enter your country. We suggest checking with your country's Department of Agriculture or equivalent - often called the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries or similar. All duties, fees, taxes, etc. are the responsibility of the consignee. It is difficult to give a set shipping price and/or fees without first having your order size and location so please reach out to me and I will be happy to work this out with you if you are serious about international shipping.
-
Do you offer Phytosanitary Certificate?Yes, I am a licensed nursery in the state of North Carolina, USA and can offer the service of obtaining a Phytosanitary Certificate for international export for a fee of $150. You are responsible for knowing what can and cannot enter your country. We suggest checking with your country's Department of Agriculture or equivalent - often called the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries or similar. All duties, fees, taxes, etc. are the responsibility of the consignee.

What If You Don't Have What I'm Looking For But I Still Need Help Exporting?I am here to help! I enjoy knowing that I can help collectors obtain corms in areas of the world where varieties are not as accessible to them. You can order from anyone or anywhere else in the US or other to have your corms shipped to me and I will then hold for you until you are ready to pay to ship them! I know that's a bit scary given that you don't know me - but I do have plenty of references and pride myself on being trustworthy and reliable. I send photos upon receipt, photos before shipping, photos during shipment...I follow the order as much as I can until it reaches you! What I CANNOT do, however, is offer refunds on orders if you opt out of a Phytosanitary Certificate. Anything shipped will be AT YOUR OWN RISK.

How Do You Package Eggs For Safe Shipping?I purchase pre-cut foam shippers from Southern Feathers and ONLY ship hatching eggs PRIORITY to offer the safest shipping for them and the increase the chances of hatching. If eggs arrive broken upon arrival, please email me immediately and send multiple photos so that we can file a claim.
-
Do You Refund Low or Zero Hatch?I pride myself in doing my best to assist customers and finding a solution that works for both of us. If you receive damaged eggs, please reach out immediately with photos. Given that shipping hatching eggs is a risk, the farther away from NC you are - the lower your hatch rate could possibly be. Extreme temperatures can affect the eggs as well as constant opening of the incubator or other mistakes. If I have enough eggs available I can - at times - offer a replacement order to be shipped out or a partial refund could be negotiated. Each situation is unique and I try my best to help. Please do not order if you are not familiar with the RISK of ordering hatching eggs by mail or if you are an inexperienced hatcher. I have had too many scammers take advantage of kindness and often times lean towards letting all of the chickens go. The funds I get from selling the eggs go back to the cost of keeping and feeding them.
Get to Know Us
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I made a decision to stop translating and working with the public to begin homeschooling my children to see how things played out.
Money was tight, and the future was unkown.
I decided to turn my love of plants into a side income to help keep food in our bellies and a roof over our head.
In my first year, I built a small makeshift greenhouse out of reclaimed wood and an old hutch top that I picked up from the side of the road.
I began exploring and learning the love for homesteading and seed saving and owning chickens and growing our own food.
​
Shortly after, I applied for my Nursery License and decided to take it to the next level with a 20x10 Greenhouse that I picked up from Amazon Returns for $75. I quickly realized that it wasn't enough space, but until I own my own land - I'll be limited on how much I can grow and sell.
​
Due to that, I don't always have a lot of plants up for sale and when I do - they aren't usually your common every day plants that you can get at big box stores.
​
I recently took the leap and began exporting to other countries and I am also currently learning how to process and offer Phytosanitary Certificates.
​
Although my kids have since returned to public school, my love for plants has only grown stronger, and I continue to run my small business from home.
