St. Lawrence Nurseries

St. Lawrence Nurseries begun in the 1920’s, and was originally the endeavor of Fred L. Ashworth, of Heuvelton, NY, a farmer with an interest in growing and propagating fruits and nuts for northern climates. Bill MacKentley met Fred in 1971, and developed a relationship that became almost as strong as family ties. For 34 years, the MacKentleys cultivated a truly unique and wonderful business, carrying the legacy of Fred Ashworth’s passion. In September of 2015, the nursery which provides cold hardy fruit and nut trees along with berry bushes and other food producing plants was passed on to Connor Hardiman.
