At Flowering Sun Ecology Center, we’re proud to offer fresh, wild foraged chanterelles during their peak season. These golden-orange beauties from Oregon are prized for their delicate, fruity aroma, often compared to apricots, and their slightly peppery, nutty flavor. Known for their distinctive trumpet shape and rich nutritional profile, chanterelles are an excellent source of vitamins D and B, as well as potassium and fiber. They’re a versatile ingredient, perfect for sautéing in butter, pairing with garlic and herbs, or adding to pasta and risotto for a touch of natural elegance.

Seeds

Paw paw Seeds! Genetics from cultivated varieties allegany, sunshine, susquehanna, NC-1, Potomac and other orchard cultivars. We hand collected these seeds from orchards around PA and NY.  We have planted many out on our farm on top the mountain above Ellenville, NY. Enjoy! Pawpaw Seeds need cold Stratification. With that said I have had successful seed planting by planting my seeds in late March or April. You can also set the fruit or seeds out in the fall and cover with some dirt and wood chips as mulch and the seeds will generally sprout. I personally have never had a problem in 6 years of planting the seeds this way. Most of the seeds will sprout in August or in September even. If you warm the soil early in the spring with black plastic or other methods you will get sprouting sooner.

Fruits

Our Persimmons are fully organically grown on the east coast, without any sprays or harmful chemicals! 

Astringent persimmons, are known for their high tannin content, which makes them taste bitter and puckery when unripe. However, once they ripen to a soft, jelly-like texture, they transform into a luscious, sweet treat with rich flavors reminiscent of honey, dates, and spices. Their deep orange, acorn-like shape is distinctive, and they’re best enjoyed in puddings, baked goods, or spooned straight from the skin when fully ripe. Astringent persimmons are a favorite among those who appreciate their unique, intensely sweet flavor once they've reached perfect ripeness.

**NOTE** This is the Official Waiting List for Fall 2025 Paw Paw season!!


Our Paw Paw varieties are some of the most popular cultivars including: Peterson, Shenandoah, Susquehanna, Allegheny, and more! These ensure a delicious fruit with extremely viable seeds. Please let us know if you would like a specific variety.

If you've never tried a Paw Paw before you're in luck! This rare fruit grows local to the American Northeast. It has a very short harvest window and a very short shelf life, both making this fruit ever more rare!

The taste of this fruit resembles a persimmon mixed with mango and cotton candy! The texture is like a delicious custard. Enjoy the fruit itself or make some amazing desserts or smoothies. This is a real treat.

The ones we have are just starting to ripen, which means their shelf life is slightly longer - about 1-2 weeks if stored in the fridge. Take them out of the fridge to get them to ripen.

Save the seed they are worth as much as the fruit. Enjoy!!
