Flowers:
Growing Sustainably
Fresh Flowers from Our Farm to Your Family
Few things bring more joy than fresh, fragrant flowers, grown from local soil. From spring through fall, we grow specialty cut flowers, chosen for their beauty and compatibility with our Northeastern micro-climate.
Grown, Not Flown, in the Heart of Dutchess County
How we farm our flowers
Our blooms are always freshly cut, in season, and grown naturally on the farm.
We never use synthetic fertilizers or chemical pesticides on our flowers, whether specialty tulips, fragrant narcissus, native wildflowers, luscious lisianthus or our beloved dahlias.
They are safe for us, for the honeybees and wild pollinators, and for you and your family to touch and smell without fear of residual toxins, all too commonly used on Industrial, imported flowers.
Plus, they are simply gorgeous, long-lasting and guaranteed to make you smile.
Why we grow flowers
We practice a policy of ‘Grown, Not Flown’ and take part in the Slow Flowers Movement, which promotes safe, sustainably-farmed, local seasonal flowers and foliage.
By selling our flowers within our regional community of the Hudson Valley and New York City, we can reduce our carbon footprint substantially, encourage small farm growers, and do our very best to educate consumers on the importance of domestic flower production.

Ask Jennifer:
How should I care for my fresh flowers?
Trim stems & place in clean water. Freshen water every 2 days. Display in a cool spot and keep away from ripening fruit & sunny windows. Remove spent blooms as they fade.
