The questions we get every week.
Allegedly the most important ones. Honest answers below.

Questions about the farm, the nursery, visiting, animals, plants, our philosophy, or why we exist at all. We\'ve heard them. We\'ve answered them. Here they are.
About the farm
Yes. Fifth generation, real dirt, real animals, real greenhouses. The humor is the only thing we manufacture.
Because somewhere along the way, traditional farming got rebranded as suspicious. Rather than pretend that's not funny, we named the place after it. The name predates the meme. We're aware. We're fine.
We grow the way certification is built for, but we're a working farm first, not a certification project. If a certification matters for what you're buying, ask and we'll tell you straight.
Visiting & Hours
Seasonally. Spring (March–May): Wed–Sun 9am–5pm. Summer (June–August): Wed–Sun 9am–6pm. Fall (September–October): Wed–Sun 9am–5pm. Winter is closed. Check /visit for full details.
No. The nursery is local-first by design. We believe plants are better in person. And frankly, FedEx and plants have a complicated relationship.
Only on leash. Our dogs will judge yours. Our sheep will definitely have opinions. Keep dogs away from the sheep—they can move faster than you'd expect.
Yes. Only treats though. Keep your fingers out of the fence and your trash away from the gate. They've demolished a car door once.
Plants & What We Grow
Most are. We grow Early Girls, Cherokees, Sungolds, Romas, and a rotating cast of fun varieties. Check the nursery or ask—we'll tell you exactly what we have and why.
Plants need eyes on them. Shipping kills them. We want you to pick what speaks to you. That only works in person. See /field-notes/why-no-online-plant-sales for the full story.
Start with herbs or dormant trees. Then try a tomato. After that, you're hooked. Utah's alkaline soil is forgiving if you amend it right. We can help.
Please. The animals will appreciate it more than the kids will. There's dirt to dig in, plants to touch, and chaos is encouraged.
Sometimes. Email and ask. Especially during spring propagation or fall cleanup. Fair warning: it's real farm work, not Instagram content.
Animals & the crew
Yes, during visits. It's part of the nursery experience. Watch seedlings grow. See propagation methods. Ask questions. Michael loves talking greenhouse design.
That's a representation of our old chickens. They had strong opinions about food, predators, and humans standing in their way. The logo honors that chaos.
Sometimes, for nearby restaurants and grocers. If you're interested, email hello@susfarms.com with your business details. Small, local partnerships only.
Sevier County, Utah. Specific address and GPS coordinates are shared when you reach out about visiting. We like surprises, just not the lost-tourist kind.
Instagram and YouTube. That's where the real farm life happens—goat births, plant emergencies, seasonal chaos. We're actually pretty consistent there.

Finally, plants from someone who actually knows what they\'re doing. And the humor is free.
