Rooted in Montana
Premium bonsai trees, medicinal herbs from the Shennong Bencao Jing, living terrariums, berry bushes, mushroom kits, and hand-crafted 3D-printed pots — grown 100% off-grid in our solar-powered greenhouse in Montana.
What We Grow
Every plant, kit, and pot in our collection is grown or crafted in our solar-powered Montana greenhouse.
Featured Plants & Kits
Our most-loved offerings — handpicked from the greenhouse for you.
Off-Grid Growing in the Heart of Montana
We're Dustin and Jamie Swartz, and Swartz's Organics grew from Dustin's lifelong love of growing — and the Taoist philosophy at the heart of bonsai cultivation: observe, guide, and work in harmony with nature rather than against it.
Our mission is simple: we want to eat healthy, and we want to help everyone around us do the same. From fruit tree bonsai to everyday vegetables to medicinal herbs — we grow for our community, at prices our community can afford.

Living Terrariums —
A World in a Bottle
Our hand-crafted sealed terrariums are complete, self-sustaining ecosystems. Sealed once and never watered again — the water cycle happens naturally inside the glass. Each one is a living work of art.
We also teach terrarium-building workshops at our farm. Come build your own living world.
Gourmet Mushrooms & Growing Kits
Fresh and dried gourmet mushrooms grown in our greenhouse, plus complete mushroom growing kits for home cultivators. Our kits include everything you need — just add water and patience.
We also offer mushroom cultivation workshops at the farm — learn the full process from substrate to harvest.
Learn to Grow
Join us at the farm for hands-on workshops in terrarium building, bonsai care, mushroom cultivation, and more. Small groups, expert instruction, and you leave with something living.
