Take it with you
After every Flower Farmer Day participants are able to partake in the beauty they help cultivate.

This custom floral arrangement serves as a fragrant reminder of their invaluable efforts and allows them to bring a piece of nature into their homes.
Day as a Flower Farmer FAQ
What time of day are flower farmer hours?
We will have one Saturday a month that the field is open to those wishing to be flower farmers for a day. The hours will rotate between morning or evening times. If you wish to come out more often than once a month we can arrange a time.
We would love to have you on the farm as often as you can.

While we will have time for the more glamorous part of flower farming many activities we do are less instagram worthy then harvesting bunches of flowers.
