The Farm
You deserve to
know where & how
your wedding flowers grow.
We get
it,
flowers are so personal- and that’s exactly why we grow them specifically for you and your wedding.
At HONEYBABY, we quite literally have our hands on every single aspect of your florals - from seed to wedding.
With enough notice, we actually reserve a special plot on the farm just for your flowers.
Last minute event? No problem. Aside from our reserved personalized plots, we have a small army of blooms in wedding friendly colors available all season long.
“These flowers just
look, different.”
If there is one thing we here on repeat from our clients, it’s this.
We believe in growing flowers as gently and honestly as possible refusing to resort to chemicals for any reason, at any time. All of your wedding flowers are grown using organic methods (you may even find a stowaway ladybug at dinner.)
Growing flowers can provide an invaluable source of pollen and nectar for bees and hummingbirds. They can be the softest of landing pads for butterflies and moths. They can remind us how beautiful nature can be if we only nurtured it. Sustainability is our number one priority. That’s why to minimize waste, any “weeds” or unused bits of plant material is composted, and spent petals are kept to be dried and becomes real confetti, pressed flowers, or edible flower sprinkles.
Besides our growing plots, within our modest 11 acres lies a large cattail marsh that houses nesting geese, ducks, and sandhill cranes; forest where we see turkeys, deer and foxes; and a familiar chorus of bird song each May when the same migrating songbirds return. Once an enormous 1800’s orchard, relics of fruit trees are scattered throughout, exploding with blossoms in spring from lingering apple, pear, and crabapple trees. At night we hear foxes call, coyotes howl, and owls hoot.
The open space also contains a frog pond and a wildlife garden teeming with native perennials. Milkweed grows throughout, frequently bedecked with monarch chrysalises in late summer, and bird nestboxes for bluebirds, chickadees, and tree swallows are always at capacity. Our flower yard is literally carved out of these woods, and may not be what you would traditionally think of as a flower farm. No sprawling fields in full sun here. Our flower farm is also our garden, our home, and our escape from the chaotic world around us.
