2021 Flower Season
U-Pick Flowers
Our experiment with growing flowers last year seemed to be a fun experience for everyone who came out and supported our local farm. Thank you all! We have added another 800 square feet to our small but pretty, well I am biased, little flower patch at the farm. As we did last year, the flowers have been grown from seed, and this year we did some early seed starting in a small greenhouse. Using the greenhouse gave us the opportunity to try and grow more flower varieties that may not be commonly found locally. It continues to be a learning process, but that is half the fun.
Why flowers? Well I love fresh flowers or just any pretty natural cutting to bring in the house and most of our friends share that love, so we thought, maybe more folks would enjoy locally grown fresh flowers.
While shopping for flowers we will have some wonderful seasonal items for purchase in our gift shop:
- Fresh summer and fall candles from Lil Sparrow Candle Company. This is the same company that makes the wonderful and very popular candles that we sell during Christmas.
- Seasonal gifts, locally crafted items, and a focus on American-made products.
Flower Patch Hours
Open on Saturdays from 9-1pm and Thursday evenings from 5:30-8pm.
Interested in having a Private event? You can book an event on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-8:30pm. See full details in the Private Event Section on this page.
We have planted flowers in succession so hope to be able to have flowers available through mid to late September.
**Please note that hours are subject to change due to weather, flower supply or unforeseen circumstances. All changes/closures will be posted on our Facebook page.**

U-Pick Flowers "How To's"
Good to know.....
Parking
All parking will be at the main lot near the Christmas shop (the red barn). There may be some construction materials in the parking lot so please park leaving plenty of space between your car and the materials. Also when parking, please make sure your car is not blocking other cars from entering or exiting.
What Should You Bring?
- Clean jar, vase, bucket or other container to transport your beautiful flowers home.
- We have water to fill your container.
- We will also have plastic bags and moist towels to wrap your flowers in if you don’t have your own container.
- Your own clippers or scissors, especially if you will be doing your flower arrangement at the farm. We will have a few pairs for everyone to use and will disinfect after each use.
Tables will be available if you would like to do your flower arrangement during your visit with us. Children are welcome and encouraged to take part in the fun. We ask parents to stay with their children at all times and do not allow them to wander in the fields or barns.
Please DO NOT Bring
- Pets of any kind. If you have a service dog, please alert us ahead of time.
- Children or adults with severe bee/wasp/ant sting reactions. Bees are really not interested in stinging people while they have flowers around but there is always a chance. Flower and Christmas Tree farms are quite literally buzzing with bees and other pollinators…and that is a good thing!
How Flower Selection Works
2 ways to purchase flowers:
- We offer the “as many flowers as you can fit in our pitcher or bucket” option as one flat rate. Each pitcher full of flowers is $20 and each bucket full is $40. This rate is for the flowers only, the pitchers and buckets are not for sale. One full pitcher can easily fill 2 or 3 – 32 oz mason jars, depending on how full you like your bouquet.
- Exception to the flat rate: There are some flower stems that are large, i.e. sunflowers or special, i.e. hydrandeas, that will be priced per stem and not included in the flat rate.
- Pre-made flower bouquets lovingly made by our staff. These bouquets will be made to fit in a 32oz mason jar and are $12 each. (Mason jars sold separately)
If you opt for the pitcher/bucket method, you are welcome to arrange your flower bouquet in the containers you brought while at the farm.
Please arrive at least 30 mins before closing time to select your items, especially if you will be staying to arrange your bouquet(s).
Photographers
Photographers are welcome during the summer months at our farm. Please see the Photographer page of this website for details.
