LOCAL BLOOMS FOR PEOPLE & PLANET!

At Willow & Oak Farm, we steward an acre of diversified cut flowers for farmers market, florists, CSA subscriptions, and DIY weddings. We strongly believe that growing local flowers in an environmentally friendly way is imperative for people and our planet! In a world where about 80% of all flowers sold in the US are imported by plane (most frequently from Columbia, Ecuador, and the Netherlands), the footprint of most flowers includes heavy carbon emissions, widespread pesticide use, and poor labor conditions for the folks bringing beauty to our tables and to the special moments in our lives. Just like local, organic and food supports the environment, your local economy, and a direct connection to your farmer, choosing local flowers is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to sustainable agricultural systems! Plus-- You can't beat the quality and beauty of a locally-grown bouquet!

While we are not currently certified organic, we use all-organic growing methods and follow National Organic Program guidelines to ensure that our flowers are safe for your family and our local ecosystem. We actively work to design and improve our systems to have a net-positive impact on the conservation land we farm--integrating regenerative practices like nutrient cycling (adding manure-based compost from our chickens to the field), reduced soil tillage, cover cropping. and supporting habitat for native pollinators. Striving to provide a supportive and equitable work environment to the amazing employees on our team is a top priority.
