Flower CSA
We believe flowers deserve a place in our lives, and need not be reserved for special occasions. They are a colorful reflection of our farm and of our love for natural rhythms.
Members will receive one lovely, lush hand-tied bouquet designed by Gardenwerks, filled with the freshest mix of florals, providing you a new design each week.
By becoming part of a CSA you help us invest in the coming season, and we give you a personal share of the flowers we grow here at Gardenwerks, flowers that are usually picked the very same morning that members get their share! This is in stark contrast to the half-dead flowers at the supermarket that have been shipped in from South America and were picked several days, even weeks, earlier.
Available Shares:
May Share - 4 weeks
June Share - 3 weeks
Summer Share - 9 weeks
Dried Flower Share - 3 weeks
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. A flower CSA works the same way as popular vegetable CSAs. A customer/member typically joins in the winter/early spring before the growing season begins. Farmers who offer a CSA are selling a portion of their harvest upfront. This allows farmers to invest in the upcoming season, and it gives community members the freshest harvest available from their local farms.
When & how will I get the flowers?
Like all farmers, we are dependent on Mother Nature’s schedule. An exact start week will be announced via email newsletter 2-3 weeks before the first pick up. After that, we will send out email reminders 24 hours prior to your weekly pickup that details the week’s share and farm happenings. In the meantime, we welcome you to follow along on Facebook or Instagram (gardenwerks_flowerfarm) Member shares will be available for pickup at our Gardenwerks nursery location.
Are pick-up dates flexible?
If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, we encourage you to send a friend or family member to pick up your share. Share distributions are pre-planned according to the planting schedule, and does not allow for an extension or moving of a pick-up day.
Is there risk associated wtih a CSA?
Community members who purchase a share of the farm understand they share the risk associated with farming. If mother nature offers wonderful weather, then the harvest will be abundant. If mother nature does not, then everyone shares a smaller harvest, or no harvest at all. Severe weather can destroy an entire field in a matter of minutes--fields that took months, if not years to cultivate, leaving farms in financial hardships. Less than 2% of people in the United States farm today, and 70-80% of the flowers in the United States are imported from South America.
