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.

In 2025, we will be taking orders for floral designs, wedding bouquets, and special events. Of course, we will have fresh flowers for sale at the farmstand during open hours.

Also, stay tuned for our Flower U Pick in the Spring and Summer. To learn more, join our email list or keep up to date with us on Soul Food Farm Instagram, where we post daily.
