Turn Your Yard into a Producing Orchard
Designed and installed by Curated Nature Contractors
Stop Mowing Grass. Start Growing Fruit.
Imagine walking out your back door to pick ripe peaches, crisp apples, fresh berries, or wine grapes from your own land.
We plan it, source it, plant it, and can maintain it for you, with drip irrigation, trellising, pruning, and a seasonal care plan built in.
Never gardened or farmed? You skip the guesswork. We run our own commercial fruit farm in Hammonton, and we build your planting the same way we built ours.
Why Homeowners Choose Curated Nature Contractors
We handle soil testing, variety selection, planting, irrigation, pruning, and a pest and disease management plan, using disease-resistant varieties proven in New Jersey's climate. You stay hands-off and enjoy the view.
- Fresh fruit from your own property
- A planting designed to add lasting value to your land
- For larger plantings, a path to selling fruit through our wholesale buyer relationships
- Properties with 5 or more farmable acres may qualify for New Jersey Farmland Assessment. (We evaluate this at the site visit.)
What to Expect
Fruit takes time. Berries typically begin producing in their second year, grapes in their third, and tree fruit in years three to five. We design for the long run and tell you up front what your site can and cannot do.
Our 5-Step Turnkey System
Step 1: Site Visit - We measure the space and sun exposure, test the soil, and review whether the property could work toward Farmland Assessment
Step 2: Expert Design & Sourcing - Design and Sourcing. We build a plan for your site and select varieties with the highest probability of success.
Step 3: Professional Installation - Installation. We prepare the soil, plant, and install irrigation and trellising.
Step 4: Hands-Off Management - Hands-Off Maintenance. Optional ongoing care: winterization, pruning, weed management, and seasonal monitoring
Step 5: Harvest & Sell - Harvest. Enjoy it, share it, or, on larger plantings, talk to us about moving fruit through our buyers.
