Grown slow. Cut today. Gone by Sunday.
What's in the ground
right now.
Dahlias
Blush to Burgundy
Café au lait, Bishop of Llandaff, Labyrinth. Planted in color blocks so each row is a single sustained note — the field reads like a chord progression when you stand at the gate.
Ranunculus
February — May
The ones that make florists cry. Layers so dense they feel like paper folded by hand. Available from February through late May — order early.
Sweet Peas
The scented ones
Spencer varieties grown on wire trellises. Cut in the morning while they still hold perfume. Available by the bunch or the bucket.

The Bucket
Mixed stems, weekly
8–12 varieties per week, chosen at harvest. What's at peak that morning is what goes in. No requests, no substitutions — just whatever the field is doing.
"We don't grow for vases. We grow for the moment someone buries their face in a bucket and just breathes."
— Clara Hennessey, Head GrowerWater holds still on a petal for exactly as long as you need it to.

Drying & Packing
No cold storage
Stems are conditioned in deep buckets of water in the shade immediately after cutting. Same-day pickup only. We don't refrigerate — flowers that breathe taste like flowers.
Peak season runs April through first frost.
The three hours between
the field and your hands.

The Cut
Every stem is cut before 7am when temperatures are lowest and sugar content in the stem is highest. We cut with Japanese floral scissors — clean, single stroke.

The Bucket
Stems go straight into deep buckets of cool water. They rest in the shade for two hours minimum before any sorting or packing. This is the step most farms skip.
The Pack
Sorted by variety, counted by stem, wrapped in unbleached kraft paper. Each bundle labeled with variety, color, and cut date. Handed to you the same morning.

What's blooming,
what's coming next.
Weekly dispatches from the farm.
What's at peak, what surprised us this week, what we're planting for next season. No sales, no noise — just the field talking.
Three kinds of people
who understand freshness.

Stems that photograph the way you dream them.
We work with florists sourcing for weekend weddings. Order by Tuesday for Thursday pickup — enough lead time to design, enough freshness to last through Sunday. Minimum 4 buckets per order.

Centerpieces that belong on the table.
Weekly mixed buckets for dining room arrangements. Seasonal, local, and honestly more interesting than anything a wholesale distributor will send. Your sommelier will notice.

Dutch imports arrive tired. Ours arrive alive.
Single-variety buckets for retail display — dahlias by color family, ranunculus by tone, sweet peas by scent intensity. Your customers will ask where you got them.
Reserve
Your Season.
We take a limited number of weekly accounts each season. Tell us what you need — we'll confirm availability and send a simple agreement.
