We are taking orders now for poinsettias from wholesalers and groups planning for their fundraising and decorating activities. Wholesaler and decorators are encouraged to place your orders now so that we can prepare for your pick up and deliveries. We appreciate early orders as they help us organize the greenhouses for the season.
We have plenty to do now that the summer and early fall seasons are behind us. As we prep for the winter holiday season that is nearly upon us, our fall work is just finishing up. The greenhouses will be full of red, white and pink poinsettias in time for holiday decorating which comes right before and after Thanksgiving.
Thank you to all of our customers who visited the farm this year for your summer flowers and vegetable plants. Thanks to our hard working farm staff who helped make for a successful season.
It is wonderful to be able to enjoy these warm fall days when we can make needed repairs to our greenhouses and farm equipment. Now that daylight savings time is past, we have less daylight to finish up those chores. Seems like our farm work is never done.
We welcome your calls for holiday flower orders. Look for us on Facebook and Instagram for updates for when the flowers are ready for retail sales or just give us a call. Remember, we accept cash and checks for payment (no cards). Come by near the end of the month for a visit and bring home your locally grown poinsettias from our family farm.
