Welcome to White Oak Orchard
White Oak Orchard is a small, family-run farm and licensed tree nursery in Trenton, South Carolina. Built by two families who combined their resources, experience and passion for the land, our goal is to help landowners establish stronger trees and better wildlife habitat.
Growing Better Trees for Wildlife Habitat
We launched our nursery in 2025 to provide dependable, wildlife-friendly seedlings for deer hunters, habitat managers, landowners, farmers and conservation-minded property owners.
We currently grow hybrid chestnut, white oak, Shumard oak, sawtooth oak and wild pecan seedlings for wildlife and habitat plantings. In fall 2027, we plan to introduce American persimmon seedlings along with additional native oak varieties, expanding the range of food sources and seasonal benefits customers can provide for deer, turkey and other wildlife.
Our seedlings are grown in air-pruning beds designed to encourage dense, fibrous root systems rather than long, circling roots. Each dormant bare-root seedling is carefully lifted, graded and prepared for shipment from our Zone 8a nursery.
Because bare-root trees must be shipped while dormant, available shipping dates depend on the customer’s USDA Hardiness Zone, destination weather and the dormancy of our nursery stock.
More Than a Tree Nursery
White Oak Orchard is also a working farm and woodshop.
We raise pasture-raised chickens in spacious chicken tractors that are moved regularly to fresh grass. Farm-fresh eggs are available for local pickup when available.
After Hurricane Helene struck our property on September 26, 2024, we salvaged white oak, red oak and other hardwood trees brought down by the storm. The logs were milled into lumber so this valuable timber could be used rather than wasted.
We offer select rough-sawn and surfaced hardwood lumber, including red oak, white oak and a limited amount of hickory. We also provide custom milling and planing services and accept a limited number of custom woodworking projects. Lumber and woodworking services are primarily available locally by appointment.

Our Commitment
At White Oak Orchard, we believe better habitat begins with better trees. We are committed to growing strong seedlings, providing practical planting guidance and helping customers build properties that benefit wildlife for generations.
Better Trees. Better Habitat. Better Hunts.
