Welcome to our native flower farm!
You’ll find native plants & flowers for wildlife, gardens and your vase!
We are ‘scratch-made’ starting with what we have; a 220 year old old barn, potting bench, good friends & moxie
We are small but mighty!
HOW DOES OUR FARM GROW?
without plastics or peat! Plants are grown in Wool Pots, burlap, wood trays, and happily growing up in our gardens & field.
Flower arrangements are 100% Earth friendly without foam, plastics or metal!
We only use sustainably harvested seeds from native plants within 200 miles of our farm. We also support other small farms growing non-GMO, heirloom & organic seeds for ‘rebel’ flowers, herbs & veggies.
What? No plastics pots??
That’s right. We use no plastics to grow plants or create beautiful flower arrangements for you!
Instead you’ll find young plants growing happily in Wool Pots on our nursery tables. Older plants are dug from our fields & gift wrapped in burlap or Kraft paper to go home with you.
Easy to plant & no pile of plastic pots in your garden shed!

A Unique Workshop Series
Join Laura Shaddak of Downstream Design for this ‘hands in the soil’ gardening series here at the farm!
You’ll learn how to design & maintain a garden with native plants across all for seasons!
Taking a Stand Against Plastics
Our goal is simple~ to be a 100% plastic-free nursery & flower farm by December 2026!
Over 3 billion plastic nursery containers are produced for the horticultural industry ever year. The majority are from virgin plastics, not recyclable and will never decompose.
Instead they end up in landfills, roadsides, waterways, the oceans and even piled high in your shed.
We believe we can all do better…for our farm, your gardens, wildlife & the Earth
At our farm & nursery you’ll find…
Plants ‘gift wrapped’ in burlap & paper tied with cotton ribbons.
Sowing & growing plants without plastics or peat
You’ll see wood trays & healthy field grown perennials
and for your seed sowing natural WOOL POTS!
