A few notes from the field
Cut flowers
Build your own bouquet
The farm's own flower rows open in July and run until the frost takes them. Grab a pair of snips at the stand, walk the rows, and cut whatever you want in the bunch — sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, whatever's standing that week.
Bouquets are priced by the bunch, not by the stem, so nobody's counting. Bring a jar with an inch of water in it if you've got a long drive home.
- Snips and buckets are at the stand
- Cut low on the stem — it keeps the plant producing
- Sunflowers come on in August and are worth the wait
Dahlias are the exception. Petit Fleuri grows them here, but you don't cut those yourself — they're sold already cut, by the stem and the bunch, at the roadside flower stand. How that works →

Picking conditions get posted on Facebook and Instagram the morning of every open day — or call the field and ask.
