KRAEMER FARMS Specializing in woody ornamentals and shrubs, Kraemer is also known for edibles, perennials and grasses. They are a family run operation that has grown and become multigenerational. When one of the reps has a question, they can call up, or walk into the family farm and ask Alan or Paul Kraemer. Like North 40 Outfitters, the day-to-day at Kraemer is still a hands-on affair for the entire family. The plants that come from Kraemer Farms are shipped weekly and, if ordered on a Monday, can usually be delivered by that Friday. “This means you can be sure our plants are fresh and in great condition to thrive.” Kraemer’s has been supplying “the spark,” the color and the roses, at North 40 garden centers for 5 years and is proud to supply Pacific Northwest plants to the Pacific Northwest and all the Oregon Territory—“This is our market, and it’s what we do.” 15
