Harvey’s sale

Having never attended one of Harvey’s cutting sales, do I need to be there as soon as the sale starts? What range of prices can one anticipate? Is the selling interface/shopping cart automated and easy to use or is it clunky?

If he has something you really want. Be there when it starts and check out as fast as possible. One year I did an order while my wife did another. And I still did not get everything I wanted. :)

Start exercising your fingers and mouse clicking skills now! lol
Have your payment method ready.
Go through the menu and list them out in priority of importance and get those first.
Nothing in your cart is permanent, so I get my first choices first and check out asap.
Yes you pay shipping twice, but you ensure your selections will be yours. :)

Then you can go back in and take your time.

I hire a trainer every year to get my clicker digits in shape and I send my mouse to the shop for a tune up. LOL

Listen to @ktrain on this one... You don't want to experience what happened to him during the big cutting sale of 2021, when he forgot to warm up..... He was stuck that way for a week and the only cuttings he got were Brown Turkey!

A couple of updates on our farm:

1. Weather permitting, we will start the pruning of cuttings on Monday. Leaves finished dropping 7-10 days ago.
2. Our cuttings page now has a link to sign up for email updates and I will use this as the primary method of communicating when our sale will start, etc.
3. We are presently in discussions with a person interested in buying our farm. May arrange a lease purchase option with him. We will stay involved for at least a couple of years.

Finally, here is a photo of our home in Madeira, Portugal that a friend shared the other day. I wish I was there! :)

As soon as it starts just click away and checkout. Re: pricing, you’re buying cuttings from a legend. If he sold Brown Turkey I would buy it.

Recognizing everyone is different, but what’s the top 15 figs on the list?

Being new it’s hard to imagine where to start.

You have a very hard question to answer. Harvey is very fair in his pricing. The most in demand varieties will be priced the highest. The best varieties for you depends on your location and your likes. Some will sell out in the first seconds and minutes but many great varieties will be available hours and days after the start.

This is definitely a good way of looking at it, check out a list posted of last years pricing, and it shows you...in a nut shell...what will sell out first.

Good reasoning Dan. :)
