Back to School Bouquets at the farmstand!
Welcome Back, Flower Friends! Welcome back from the long weekend! We hope you had time to rest, catch up with friends and family, and eat great food. The beginning of the week brought us much-needed rain — the kind that made us, and our dahlias, sigh with relief. This Week at the Farm Stand The rest of the week you can expect our normal hours at the Farm Stand, along with some stunning fall-inspired bouquets. We sure think these fall colors are quite cozy. Back to School

We now have a Farmstand!
Flowers Are Blooming, a Farmstand Is Coming, and We'll See You at Rustic Roots Full Swing at the Farm We are back to full swing here at the farm! Our flowers are popping like kernels left and right, ready to be picked and placed in your homes. Zinnias especially have had an explosion of blooms this season. We've been busy little bees — picking, filling our coolers, and puzzling over how to fit just one more bucket of flowers into the van for deliveries. Exciting News: Our

Dahlias Season
Dainty Blooms, First Dahlias, and a Little Fish Fertilizer Magic This week brought a harvest full of surprises as some blooms are saying their goodbyes, and others are just beginning to show us what they've got. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in, because there's a lot to share. Lisianthus, Taking Their Final Bow This week swept in with the last of the lisianthus. These beauties were troopers this season, battling the peculiar summer weather and those pesky bunnies. Fortunate

Hello, August!
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
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

Heat Wave
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

Summer Flowers
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 Here!
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

Flower Update
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

New DIY Flower Stands Arrived!
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

Peony Update
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…

Peony Season Begins!
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

Heat Wave
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

Spring Planting
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

This Week on the Farm
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

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
