Hello, August! Summer has gone swiftly this year, each day spilling over with fresh-cut blooms and the quiet hum of the harvest. This week especially has been non-stop — buckets full, hands full, and barely a moment to catch our breath. Zinnias in Full Swing Zinnias are having their moment right now being little explosions of color, held up on stems sturdy and straight enough for any vase. Not sure when to cut? Try the "wiggle" test: give the stem a gentle shake, and if it st

July’s Bounty Has Arrived This week has been all early mornings and late afternoons, hustling out among the rows to pick every delicate bloom right when it's at its best. Here's what's been catching our eye (and filling our buckets) lately. Cosmos, Color, and a Little Chocolate Our cosmos have been bursting with color and variety this season. The real showstopper, though, is this year's chocolate cosmos — yes, it really does smell like chocolate! To all our fellow chocolate l

The heat is back, and so are we! With warmer days comes the return of our morning harvest rituals, out among increasingly bountiful blooms. This week brought some fun new pickin's to the buckets: Rudbeckia, Celosia, Queen Anne's Lace, and Quickfire Hydrangeas! We're especially smitten with our Flamingo Feather Celosia — it holds its color and quirky texture beautifully, even long after it's cut. We've also been plucking Feverfew, a darling little bloom from the daisy family w

Welcome back! We hope you all enjoyed a safe and fun-filled Fourth. We returned to the farm to a pleasant surprise: our dahlias reaching skyward! We've been busy pinching back these beauties, and we've also started staking and twining the dahlia rows to keep these climbers growing up instead of out. Another beauty we've harvested this week is Verbascum! This one comes with some seriously fun history as its stalks are so sturdy and long-lasting that medieval and pioneer folks

Summer is heating up, whew! We’ve had quite the heat wave this week as our crews have been rising with the sun and beating the heat with dainty morning harvests of Orlaya, Verbascum, and Delphinium. We especially love giving Orlaya its moment in the spotlight. Its wide, flat-topped blooms aren't just beautiful, they're tiny landing pads for beneficial insects, quietly protecting the rest of the garden. This week, you'll find both Orlaya and Delphinium tucked into your CSA bou

Time is flying here at the farm. Is it just us, or did June basically evaporate? Lately our days have been all about flower bed maintenance: harvesting, weeding, and a little something called pinching. If you're new to the term, it just means cutting a flower back so it bushes out and sends up more stems — which means more flowers for you! It's a favorite trick of ours, especially with the zinnias. We're also spotting the very first dahlia sprouts poking up to say hello. We c

And just like that, the last peonies of the season have been picked. It's a bittersweet moment, but after some much-needed rain finally graced the farm, they went out in the most beautiful way. Don't worry though, there are still plenty of gorgeous peonies headed your way in your CSA bouquets! We also spent some much needed TLC on our flower beds this week, pulling and picking the pesky weeds that always seem to return with the rain. But, how satisfying is it to see a freshl

What a whirlwind of a week! The peonies have burst open across the fields, stopping traffic right off the farm and honestly, we don't blame anyone for slowing down. There's a gentle urgency in the air as everyone rushes to catch each precious bloom before it fully unfurls into its peak of color and vibrancy. So many beautiful varieties to discover this season like Do Tell, Raspberry Sunday, and Monsieur Jules! We've also been having a little too much fun with our newest toy…

Hello June! And hello, peonies! In the blink of an eye, we're out in the fields every couple of hours sweeping through the rows in search of the perfect bloom, not quite open and just slightly squishy and sticky to the touch. It's a fleeting window and we sure don't wanna miss it! Usually we find a couple ants hitching a ride on our blooms, as peony buds secrete a sweet nectar that draws ants in. They repay the favor by chasing off other pests making them great, natural littl

We wished for the heat and oh, did it answer. A little reminder to keep yourself and your plant babies well-watered as the days stretch long and golden this week. All this warmth is working its magic. Growth has been impressive, and if you look closely, you'll catch the very first whispers of our peonies beginning to bud. Harvesting these beauties feels almost within reach now and when it's time, you'll know by the Marshmallow Rule: give the bud a gentle squeeze, and if it yi

This week, we're so grateful for the rain! Every drop brings its own quiet magic, coaxing the farm back to life— plants reaching upward, soil turning soft and rich, the whole landscape settling into lushness. We find ourselves exhaling with relief right along with it. With freshly soaked beds and perfect planting conditions, we tucked in a beautiful new round of Cosmos, Bupleurum, Tweedia, Aster, and Scabiosa. We're especially excited about the Bupleurum! Its whimsical brigh

5.12.26 The winds have carried in the warmth this week. We've been busy bees planting away new annual and perennial varieties into both our fields and high tunnels, including one of our favorites: Phlox! With the warmer days comes the gentle start of weeding our flower beds. There's something almost meditative about it, the way it eases you into the season. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by our Pop Up Flower Bar at Rustic Roots Winery. It was such a joy watch

5.5.26 We're savoring the final, golden days of tulip season. It’s a bittersweet farewell to one of our most beloved blooms. We're so grateful for another beautiful growing cycle and the wealth of knowledge we continue to gather with tulips. And the good news? There are still plenty of gorgeous tulips waiting for our CSA members this week. As the evenings continue to cool, our crew has been covering our field plant babies under soft frost cloth as an extra precaution with the

4.28.26 The week opened with the softest gift…gentle rain falling just when our fields needed it most. We soaked it all in right alongside our plant babies, feeling so grateful for every drop nourishing the soil beneath our feet. There's something magical about watching the earth drink deeply and knowing something beautiful is growing because of it. Our crew is buzzing with excitement this week as we lovingly turn over some of our tulip beds and dream up something spectacul

Welcome Back to the Flower Farm A new season has arrived, and we couldn't be more excited to be back! This year we've grown our crew and our dreams right along with it as there are so many beautiful creations we can't wait to share with you. We've been easing back into the rhythm we love most, with our hands in the freshly turned earth, planting Lisianthus, Geraniums, and Rudbeckia in beds that are just waiting to burst into color. There's a kind of magic in that first momen

Peaches n Cream…Strawberry and Cream…What’s the difference?? That’s the question I asked until I grew both varieties and have found first hand how they differ. Strawberry and cream Dahlia is a very prolific bloomer for us. The pinky shades of the bloom, long strong stems and free flowering style also make it a good choice for the middle to back of the garden. They also are known to change color from the beginning of the season to the end based on light and soil conditions. W

ANYONE can grow DAHLIAS!!! Yes! I do believe it!! When I started growing dahlias over 8 years ago, I had not seen all the media attention online about them. Subsequently, I had no fears of trying to grow them. I bought about 50 tubers, amended the soil, planted them, watered them, and waited. What do you know… most of them began to sprout a few weeks later and I had no idea what I had started. I feel like so many people have anxiety about growing dahlias and I feel sad for
