Stark Bro’s Nursery and Orchard in Louisiana, MO has too many fruit trees this spring! They have offered them for Illinois FFA Chapters to sell at reduced prices as a spring fundraiser.

If you are interested in the fundraiser, see the details here. The student flyer is editable for you to customize for student use. (Be sure to save a copy before making edits!) You are welcome to set your own prices for the trees. The price listed on the chapter flyer is what you will be paying for the trees. 

Sales are open through May 5th. Invoices will be sent at that time from Stark Bros. Once payment is received, trees will be shipped the week of May 19th. 

Stark Bros has included shipping to your location in the price of the trees. Because of this, trees must be purchased in groups of 75 units (a pallet worth). Your chapter is welcome to work with another local chapter or group to reach the needed quantity shipped to one location. 

All trees come in 4x4x10 pots and are 1.5-3’ tall. Quantities are limited. You may enter the number of trees needed on this form throughout the month or make one entry by May 5th. This form will send the information to me. I will pass it along to Stark Bros. once we have all of the orders.
