I enjoy how accessible this location is as well as how they keep up on their orders. However, their prices are often higher then the local competitors.

The best nursery in Humboldt. The staff are amazing and the selection is wide. They have hundreds of trees, shrubs, ornamentals, anything you could want in our climate. And everything I have bought has thrived. We did our backyard in their sod- and 3 years later it's still thriving. I live in Fortuna and my only complaint is that I wish it was closer!

Great place, excellent selection of plants and tools. The saw shop is of high quality as well; both stihl and husky.

You can hardly live in Humboldt without needing this company, from gravel to generator's. They have it all and at good prices.

I am so grateful for the help and wealth of knowledge from Juan who helped me select a lemon tree and also on how to make it thrive. This place is massive with a great selection. I look forward to shopping here again!

Over the decades, I've felt the shop staff were a bit condescending and could be fairly short tempered. In spite of that, I purchased a Husqvarna lawn mower last summer from them. This spring, after keeping it covered and removing the old fuel and putting in new beforehand, the mower would not start. This is my first mower without a choke or primer push button, so after six or seven pulls, and referring to the owner's manual (which was useless) I called the shop.
I asked if they had any tips for spring startup and they bluntly said "we don't give telephone advice, you'll have to bring it in, we're $90 per hour plus parts, and we're pretty busy, backed up one to two weeks". That was it. So I scratched my brain and remembered starter fluid. one squirt and it started and ran perfectly. Obviously the "automatic choke" is not as automatic as it could be, and needed a little help. I'm done with Miller farms shop. I'll go somewhere else. I Like the nursery fine

Stopped while passing through town. The selection is unreal and the staff is super helpful. Checked in on me while I was browsing and even helped me research my home growing zone to see which plants would be compatible for where I live. So glad I stopped. A lovely experience all around.
