Small Salt Spring Island apple orchard that sells a good variety of organic bare root whips, which they do ship, though there does not seem to be anything about that on the website. Website says they have 200 varieties, which seem to be sold at the local farmer's market and apple festival.

BC Wild Heritage Plants
This nursery in Sardis, BC is a sustainable forest-farm (agro-forestry) operation utilizing the forest shade to produce shade-loving shrubs and herbs used for seed stock, fern spores, cutting and stolon material, while maintaining wildlife and riparian values. The existing farm field contains native perennial rootstock, bulbs and a red huckleberry U-pick open in mid-July each year. To ensure our practices are sustainable, it has completed a BC Environmental Farm Plan. By appointment, and open late in the season due to location. Well worth the drive.
