Manor View Farms Inc

What Manor View Farms Inc does

Manor View Farm, Inc. is a wholesale nursery and landscape distribution supplier headquartered in Monkton, Maryland, founded in 1976 by the Patterson family on a 100-acre former dairy farm. The company operates over 75 acres in field production with more than 400 varieties of shade and flowering trees and shrubs, including hard-to-find specimen sizes. Core product lines consist of field-grown B&B trees and shrubs, a wholesale landscape distribution center offering trees, shrubs, and hard goods to trade buyers, and a propagation division producing potted shrub liners shipped via UPS. Supporting services include an in-house delivery fleet with tandem axle tractors, roll-offs, stake body trucks, and crane service for job-site delivery, plus an annual Education Seminar in its 28th year.

The business sells exclusively wholesale to trade customers — landscape contractors (primary), garden centers, landscape architects and designers, government entities, nurseries, and property maintenance companies — across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale plant material transactions at net 30-day terms with 1.5% monthly late charges on overdue balances. Sales channels include field visits, nursery tours, in-person selection at the Monkton facility, seasonal print catalogs (Yard, Field, Potted Liner, Special Order), trade show participation (MANTS), and a login-protected online availability portal. The company is privately held by Alan Jones (President), John Clark, and Dennis Hendrix (Vice President/Treasurer), who acquired it from the founding Patterson family in 2007 and have a succession plan in place as the company enters its 50th anniversary in 2026.

Operations are supported by approximately 35-40 staff across executive, office, distribution center, field growing, propagation, and maintenance/transportation functions. Technology adoption is minimal beyond a claimed use of AI to streamline operations; no proprietary software, API, or digital platform is disclosed. Industry associations and partnerships are extensive but categorized as Minor (industry association memberships including American Hort, LCA, MNLGA, NALP, IPPS, ASLA, USDA National Arboretum, Maryland Cooperative Extension, and others), serving ecosystem positioning rather than commercial leverage.
