Pick-Your-Own Flowers

Our Flower Field
Support local agriculture with beautiful flowers.

Details

Visit the farm from mid-July through September to experience the romance of being immersed in blooms. We provide picking buckets (1 gallon size), water and snips (to cut the stems). Cost is $30 per bucket, which fits 40-50 stems. Picking available Thursday through Monday 8am - 8pm.

The flower field is located north-west of the barn across the street from our nearest neighbor. You may park either right next to the flower field (parking your vehicle perpendicular to the field rows,) or in the lot beside the barn.

The flower field is run on the honor system and self-serve. You can pay at the flower stand via cash, check, or venmo @fairhaven-farm.

Please remember to:

Keep dogs out of the field (Doug is obviously the exception).
Supervise kids especially when sharp objects are involved.
Not cut anything you don't plan to pay for.
Not resell flowers.

Picking Tips

Don't forget to fill your bucket with 4-5 inches of water! this will keep your stems happy while you travel home.
Strip the foliage from the bottom of your stems. Any leaf that would be in water should be remove in order to increase your vase life.
Don't cut the whole plant, but don't be afraid to cut a long stem.
We all love a deal, but avoid overstuffing your buckets. At a certain point you'll start to break stems and sacrifice flower quality.

Our Flowers

We've offered a Pick-Your-Own Flower Field since 2021, with over 20 varieties of flowers including zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, snapdragons and various perennials. Marnie was inspired by Brittany Hollow Farm's pick-your-own flower operation in Rhinebeck, NY after living in the Hudson Valley for several years. The beauty of Brittany Hollow's operation was in it's simplicity, getting as many people to experience local flowers as possible. The self-serve model allowed them to keep costs low, and make flowers more accessible so it could be something casual yet magical. Beauty can be an every day thing.
