Hi, I'm Claire
I really like growing flowers. I've spent 15 years working in horticulture - small vegetable farming, public and private gardens, degrees in plant biology, and even a year of hydroponic salad growing. In 2021 my family moved to Fernwood, a small intersection in central New York, to start building a small flower farm.

Our goals:
- Push the seasonal boundaries of cut flower production in a way that is sustainable for the land we share with many other living beings.
- Grow plants that make us happy.
- Build a business that supports our family, and helps build our local community.
