Hello from the heart of the Sonoran Desert!
We're Brian & Jami, a husband-and-wife team growing desert plants in Blythe, California, near the Arizona border, where the desert sun creates ideal conditions for cacti and succulents.
Our story
In 2021 we moved our established Sacramento nursery to the Palo Verde Valley so we could grow desert plants in true desert conditions. Today Blythe Cactus Farm is a large working nursery where every plant is grown by us, hard-grown in full sun and heat.
What makes us different
- Everything is homegrown. No resellers, no imports — every plant and seed comes from our own nursery.
- Hand-pollinated seed. We pollinate our parent plants by hand for the best genetics and seed quality.
- Pesticide-free. Our nursery is its own little ecosystem, with a crew of pest-controlling cats plus koi, ducks and geese keeping things in balance.
What you'll find here
- Cactus and succulent seeds, fresh from our own plants, with germination instructions in every order
- Live plants and cuttings, shipped bare root
- Growing guides for everyone from first-time growers to serious collectors
Our promise
- Free shipping on qualifying orders
- Live arrival guarantee — your plants will arrive healthy
- Growing tips with every order
Visit us
Our nursery is not currently open to the public. We're developing a retail space and a 3-acre botanical cactus garden with natural rockscaping to show desert plants at their best. Stay tuned!

Thank you for supporting our small family farm. Every order helps us keep growing and sharing our piece of the desert.
