Miller Farms Nursery in McKinleyville, California is well known to people on the North Coast.  For many it is a destination for plants, gardening supplies and professional landscaping.  Some people come just to wander around and look our great selection of plants.  Others come to take the gardening classes or find a special present for a gardener in our gift section. 

Miller Farms became a nursery in 1963 when brothers Don and Dick received their first nursery business license.  Prior to then it was Miller Farms, an 80-acre family farm which they worked with their parents Herb and Evelyn.

The original Miller Farm had 100 acres planted to potatoes, raised 12,000 chickens a year and had 150 head of dairy cows.  The potatoes and chickens were phased out in the late 1970s.  The Millers stopped milking cows in 1980.

“We built our house in 1957 and bought shrubs for landscaping from our potato seed grower in Oregon,” explains Dick Miller.  “We sold the leftover shrubs at the small nursery which we operated on the farm.   When those were sold, we bought more and soon had a variety of plants for sale in our nursery.  A friend, George Berry, needed a lawn mower so we bought six and then we were in the lawn mower business.  That’s basically how our business developed.  We followed the demand.  We were the only retail nursery north of Eureka in Humboldt County."

One thing that hasn’t changed is that Miller Farms Nursery is still a family business 
with three generations of the Miller family working in various aspects of the operation.
We started our nursery business with one employee have grown to 45 employees with four divisions:
