St. Lawrence Nurseries
St. Lawrence Nurseries sprouted up in 1923, and was first the endeavor of Fred L. Ashworth, of Heuvelton, NY. He was a farmer with an interest in growing and propagating fruits and nuts for northern climates. Then, 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 was passed on to Connor Hardiman. Connor worked for the MacKenleys for 5 years before taking over the nursery (with the invaluable help of several core employees). The MacKentleys continue to be involved in an advisory capacity; distributing their decades of knowledge and ensuring a successful future for St. Lawrence Nurseries.
