Delivery and pick-up

Seedlings will be available for pick up or delivery in the spring of 2024 - likely in late April or May, once the ground has thawed. We will keep you updated via email as the season progresses and will post the lifting schedule once we begin. Southern counties in the state will receive their seedlings first to mimic the natural thaw that occurs.

Delivery options:

  • Pick up your seedlings free at the Nursery in Akeley, MN.
  • Ship directly to you for $45 per 1,000 seedlings.
  • Ship to drop-point locations:
    • Detroit Lakes - 14583 County Highway 19, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501
    • Little Falls - 309 11th St SE, Little Falls, MN 56345

Attention! The shipping fee varies by location and must be paid at pickup time.

Seedlings are packaged in a cardboard box with a plastic liner. The box is approximately 10" x 18" x 30". Be sure you have a cool, shady place to store your seedlings until they are planted.
