General Questions

While we love to share our space, please do not just stop by. We live here and it’s a working farm. The farm is not open for drop-in visits.

We regularly update our hours on Google Business Profile and share unexpected closures on Facebook.

Our farm store, The Farmacy, is open Thursdays and Fridays (late April through October) and operates as a curated gift shop featuring locally grown flowers and seasonal goods.

Please note that just because the Farmacy is open does not mean the farm is open for tours.

We are located just North of St. Joseph, Minnesota, about 10 minutes from St. Cloud and just over an hour from the Twin Cities.

We are open year-round.

During our growing season (late April through October), we offer flowers grown right here on our farm.

Outside of the growing season, we source flowers through our trusted wholesalers, just like other professional florists.

That said, if you love the look of locally grown, seasonal flowers, we highly encourage planning your event during flower season. There is truly nothing like it!

The Bloom Room is our on-site event venue in Central Minnesota, designed for:

  • Bridal showers
  • Private parties
  • Corporate events and team building
  • Workshops and small gatherings

It can be rented on its own or paired with farm tours or other experiences and activities.

Visit The Farmacy (our on-site flower shop and gift store), open:

  • Thursdays and Fridays
  • Late April through October

We offer fresh-cut flower bouquets, seasonal arrangements, and locally grown flowers in a variety of price points.

The flowers we grow are all sold “by the stem” or as a market arrangement. During the season, it’s best to just come into the store during open hours (Thursdays and Fridays) and shop based on what we have available. If you’re looking for large quantities or specific colors, please call for pricing. We do not sell “by the bucket”. Arranging is just part of the DIY process, and planning for quantities and sourcing specific varieties takes a lot of our resources.

Custom floral orders start at $200.

During the growing season (April-Oct), we also have ready-made bouquets available in the shop in a variety of prices and colors.

Yes—delivery is available for orders of $200 or more.

Delivery fees may apply depending on location and order size.

Fill out our contact form and we’ll design to your needs.

We typically ask for:

  • Total number of arrangements
  • Overall budget

Example:

  • $400 budget = 8 arrangements at $50 each
  • $160 budget = 8 arrangements at $20 each

Flower types, size, and fullness will vary based on your budget. We offer this based on what we have blooming and colors will be mixed. If you want custom colors, please call for a specific quote.
