Soul Food Farm Fresh Flowers
Growing flowers at the farm is one of our favorite enterprises these days. It’s fascinating that from a tiny seed, so much beauty and diversity can emerge. In 2016, we planned to grow flowers and started with zinnias, roses, lavender, and perennials. During our first growing summer, we created working relationships with local floral designers and built a flower stand; as we begin our ninth season of growing flowers, we’ve expanded the types of annuals we grow, mainly focusing on our personal favorites. Soul Food Farm's flower business is still in its infancy, and we have much to learn about planting, harvesting, transporting, and marketing. However, we are motivated to try because growing something that adds a little romance to life feels good. It’s easy to forget how vital beautiful things are in keeping us happy and inspired. Sharing flowers perfectly expresses love, builds friendships, and makes even the most unadorned spaces shine. I think this is what Flower Power is genuinely all about.
We are excited to open our Flower CSA to the public. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a powerful way for farmers and customers to create partnerships. In 2024, we are offering a Spring Flower CSA to our customers for four weeks, where you can pick up a weekly bucket of spring flowers at the farm.
We plan to begin the Spring Soul Food Farm Flower CSA in April and run for four weeks. Because we are working with nature, we do not have an exact start date in mind. We need to look at the field in the spring and see how the flowers are growing. We will email all the CSA subscribers two weeks before the flower CSA begins to let you know your flowers are ready.
The bucket of flowers subscription will be a generous amount of our farm flowers, foliage, and foraged blooms. A loose mix of flowers and foliage for you to create your bouquets and share with friends.
The custom flower bouquet will be a beautiful arrangement of spring blooms and foliage hand-tied with silk ribbon. Created especially for you with flowers ready to harvest and blooms that have opened and are lush and scented.
Each week, we will harvest a selection of partially and fully open flowers so that each CSA customer has blooms that will last and reflect each flower's changes. The following is a partial list of our spring flower lineup—tulips, ranunculus, larkspur, stock, foxgloves, statice, bachelor buttons, and sweet peas.
The pickup location for all CSA Flower subscribers will be Soul Food Farm.
