1. Miller Farms Flower Nursery

McKinleyville, CA | Company website

Miller Farms is a nursery that first opened in 1963 by brothers and business partners Don and Dick Miller, who had already been working on the family farm for years. The original Miller Farm housed 12,000 chickens a year, 150 dairy cows, and planted many acres of potatoes. Eventually, the animals and crops were phased out so that the family could focus on serving the community as a nursery. Over the years, the business evolved as the brothers collected more and more varieties of plants and worked to support local needs, like becoming a lawn mower retailer. Today, they are one of the largest power equipment dealers in Northern CA.

Importantly, Miller Farms is still a family-run business like the original farm was, now in its third generation of Miller family ownership. The business has grown from having one employee to 35, and is split into three divisions of the nursery, the power shop, and the landscaping division. If you're simply looking to pick up some soil or a new plant for your home, visit the nursery, filled with a variety of plants in beautiful vessels. If you're looking to take on a larger project, such as redoing your yard or garden, Miller Farms Nursery is ready to help with that too, so consult them on your next project.
