Our local Farmer's Co-Op plant store is outsourced to Wolf River Valley Growers and has a very nice selection of OP and heirloom plants. I picked up a few last week. Among them were: Caspian Pink, Pruden's Purple, Rose, Black Krim, AJ Red, Mary Huddleston, Australian Red, Brandywine and several heirloom cherries. Maybe your local Co-Op is a good source, as well. There is also Martin's, which is run by Mennonites. It is the best local nursery but their selection isn't quite as good. The plants, at both stores are very well kept, as opposed to some of the big box stores.

Lowes had Cherokee Purple and Mortgage Lifter this year, and Home Depot had Homestead and Black Cherry. Looks like they are finally getting into the heirlooms.
