What Edible Landscaping LLC does

Edible Landscaping LLC is a privately held, family-owned retail nursery founded in 1987 and headquartered at 361 Spirit Ridge Lane in Afton, Virginia. The company specializes exclusively in edible landscaping plants — fruit trees, berries, vines, nut trees, citrus and tropicals, cacti and succulents, herbs, vegetables, and flowering edibles — curated for home gardeners who want to grow their own food. Plant varieties are trialed in the company's own on-site orchard for 30+ years before being offered for sale, with selection emphasizing disease resistance, climate adaptability, and ease of cultivation for residential settings. The catalog includes unique items such as the exclusive Seedless Che, jujubes, pawpaws, medlars, and a wide assortment of berry plants.

The business operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer model combining a 7-days-a-week physical retail storefront in Afton, VA, with a Shopify-based e-commerce site that ships to most US states (excluding CA, OR, WA due to state-level agricultural import restrictions) and offers local pickup. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately $3 for small berry seedlings to over $180 for mature 7-gallon trees, with no subscription or recurring revenue component. The company runs an annual festival cadence (first Saturday of June, first Saturday of September, last Saturday of October) featuring orchard tours, educational lectures, and promotional sales to drive in-person traffic, and maintains an email newsletter plus social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for top-of-funnel engagement.

There is no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capability, no external funding, no patents, and no disclosed management team beyond the family ownership structure. Geographic shipping restrictions materially cap the addressable US e-commerce market, and revenue is entirely transactional and seasonal in nature. No financial figures (revenue, headcount, profitability) are publicly disclosed.
