Emory Knoll Farms

Emory Knoll Farms is the only nursery in the USA that is dedicated solely to the propagation of plants for the green roof industry. Built on a 5th generation family farm, their wholesale nursery has been in operation since 1998, and was incorporated in 2004 by partners Ed Snodgrass and John Shepley. Emory Knoll Farms has supplied plants for more than seven hundred green roof projects in over twenty-five states, the District of Columbia, and Canada, as well as overseas. In October 2010, Emory Knoll Farms became one of the first Benefit Corporations in Maryland under the nation's first Benefit corporation statute. This means they publicly acknowledge their role in providing a public benefit as well as providing value for the stakeholders in the company.
