Elmore Roots

David Fried at Elmore Roots

When David Fried started Elmore Roots Nursery 37 years ago, he set out to provide northern New England with exceptional fruit and berry trees.

Since then his business has evolved into a mecca for home gardeners and commercial growers looking for the hardiest varieties to grow in our climate. They continue to propagate new trees and shrubs for sale on their property in Wolcott, VT and also sell their fresh fruit and jams to a number of retail and wholesale accounts. With a Business Builder loan from the VFF, Elmore Roots developed its fruit processing capabilities and markets, built a solar dehydrator, purchased more freezer space, and constructed a clean room for cutting and processing fruit.
