Adopt a Tree
Adoptions are open. Your support helps grow a tree in our Cap Rouge nursery, prepare its planting site, and care for it within a regenerative system.
Each adoption includes two years of care, a digital certificate, and a photo when the tree is planted. We share further updates when they are available.
Grown Here. Tended Here.
Every tree begins in our nursery in Cap Rouge, propagated from seed and grown by hand before it ever reaches the ground. We prioritize native and food-bearing species selected for the specific conditions of the southern mountains, soil type, elevation, rainfall, and the long-term needs of the farming family receiving them.
When a tree is ready, it goes to a steward, a farming family who knows their land, who has been part of this work, and who will tend that tree as part of a larger system. That relationship between person and place is what makes the difference between a tree that survives and one that transforms a hillside.

Why it Matters
Haiti has lost most of its forest cover over generations of extraction and land degradation. What that means on the ground is eroded hillsides, depleted soil, compromised watersheds, and farming families working harder for less. Trees are not a symbolic answer to that. They are a functional one.
A single tree in a well-designed system contributes to soil health, water retention, food production, and habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Multiplied across six properties and an expanding farmer network, that adds up to something the land can feel over time.
This is restoration with roots in the community that lives here. That is what your adoption supports.

“We honored my mother, who loved Haiti, by adopting a mahogany tree through Grown in Haiti after she passed. Receiving the tree’s photo, rooted in her homeland, gave us peace knowing her legacy continues in the land she once called home.”
