What Kg Farms Inc does

KG Farms, founded in 1991 by Kathy & Greg Wilmes, is a wholesale nursery headquartered in Woodburn, Oregon, operating 420 acres of field and container nursery stock in the Willamette Valley. The company produces a broad mix of ornamental plant material, including balled-and-burlapped (B&B) stock, container plants (with pot-in-pot configurations), deciduous trees (with Japanese maples as a notable specialty), broadleaf evergreens, conifers, and deciduous shrubs.

The business operates on a wholesale-only basis, selling exclusively to licensed nursery dealers, landscape professionals, and garden centers; retail and direct-to-consumer channels are not offered, and customer accounts must be approved through the website. Add-on services — custom tagging, potting services, and wire basket installation — are bundled onto wholesale orders. Pricing is FOB Woodburn, Oregon, with a recommended minimum order of $3,500 for shipping. Order capture is conducted through an online ordering platform powered by PlantX, a third-party nursery e-commerce provider.

KG Farms' go-to-market is purely B2B wholesale distribution through established dealer and professional channels. The product mix is oriented toward ornamental trees and shrubs suited to Pacific Northwest growing conditions, with Japanese maples functioning as a specialty line. The combination of a 420-acre footprint, 33+ years of continuous operation, and absence of any disclosed growth investments positions the company as a stable, cash-generative regional wholesale operation rather than a high-growth venture.

Direct peers

• Bailey Nurseries: Large wholesale grower of nursery stock (Endless Summer hydrangeas, First Editions shrubs, etc.) serving landscape and garden-center channels across North America. Closely comparable product mix (B&B and container shrubs and trees) and identical B2B wholesale customer base as KG Farms.
• Iseli Nursery: Wholesale grower in the Willamette Valley focused on conifers, Japanese maples, and other distinctive landscape plants. Directly comparable to KG Farms in geography, specialty product mix, and the wholesale-to-landscape-pro customer model.
• Carlton Plants: Oregon-based wholesale nursery specializing in larger B&B shade, flowering, and evergreen trees for landscape and re-wholesale customers. Highly comparable to KG Farms in size, geography (Willamette Valley), product (B&B larger trees), and sales channel (licensed wholesale buyers).
• Monrovia Nursery Company: Wholesale grower of premium container-grown shrubs, trees, and perennials sold exclusively to independent garden centers and landscape professionals. Direct competitor to KG Farms in the branded, larger-size, value-added nursery segment with custom tagging and grower branding.
• J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. Wholesale shade, flowering, and ornamental tree grower headquartered in Boring, Oregon, in the Willamette Valley. Direct peer — sells B&B and container-grown larger caliper trees to landscape professionals and garden centers, the same customer base and product sizes as KG Farms.

Broad incumbents

• Costa Farms: One of the largest wholesale growers in North America with broad tropical, foliage, perennial, and landscape-plant categories serving mass and independent channels. A broader incumbent peer whose landscape-plant segment overlaps with KG Farms' offering, though it operates at substantially larger scale and across more categories.

Emerging players

• Star Roses and Plants (Conard-Pyle): Wholesale grower and brand owner selling branded roses, woody plants, and perennials to garden centers and landscape professionals. Comparable wholesale distribution model and overlapping broadleaf evergreen / deciduous shrub product category, though with stronger emphasis on branded genetics.

Regional players

• Heritage Seedlings & Liners: Wholesale nursery liner and container grower also based in the Willamette Valley selling to other wholesale nurseries and landscape buyers. Comparable regional peer with overlapping customer base, though skewed more toward propagation/liners than the larger landscape-grade trees that anchor KG Farms' offering.
