Flowers are beautiful in their own right, but they’re even prettier when they’re local, fresh-cut, and grown following organic practices! My Barnyard Garden is a former horse paddock turned flower garden specializing in mindfully grown blooms. The flower farm was established in 2020 and opened its first farmstand with the help of family and friends in 2021. Open every weekend between May and October (10 am-2 pm), the stand is a spot for the community to drop by and purchase beautifully crafted bouquets. The flowers and foliage are grown with the seasons and include varieties like snapdragons, cosmos, asters, phlox, dahlias, rudbeckia, and more. Can you hear the bees buzzing? Behind the scenes, there’s always plenty of work on the farm, and once the growing season comes to a close and the tired annuals have been pulled from the ground, it’s already time to plant tulips for the following spring. The farm features many rows and 12’ x 13’ raised beds, each large enough for 500 bulbs. That’s a lot of tulips! In addition to the farmstand, flower lovers can also order bouquets online and have them delivered locally during the growing season.
