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 hundreds of dedicated 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.)
While other more traditional florists working with imported flowers year-round may view locally-sourced, seasonal floral design as more complicated, unpredictable, and unreliable - we find the opposite to be true. Growing our own flowers allows us to perfectly curate our collection - harvesting at will & at any stage of life. Organic shapes dictate our designs - specifically choosing a flower with an interesting curve only becomes possible in this setting - as nearly all imported flowers are harvested and shipped perfectly stiff and straight…a very unnatural state.
The dainty & whimsical stems found in our all our designs are much too delicate to ship - only meant to survive several days at best after harvest. Time is of the essence - and we’ll be harvesting your flowers mere hours before your event.
nature
and nurture.
We view farming as an act, not a job.
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.
Twice each year, as daffodils bloom in spring and autumn leaves bid farewell, we lovingly select a vibrant array of native perennials, shrubs, and trees from our trusted local nurseries. These living treasures blend seamlessly with our cherished cutting crops, creating a sanctuary for native birds, playful mammals, and graceful predatory insects that maintain a natural balance.
We are committed to nurturing these plants until our land is a lush tapestry of its natural splendor. Our 11 acres cradle a tranquil cattail marsh, where nesting geese, ducks, and sandhill cranes find refuge. The nearby forest conceals turkeys, deer, and elusive foxes, while each May, songbirds return to serenade us. Once an 1800s orchard, our land still echoes its history, with ancient fruit trees blooming in soft pastels of apple, pear, and crabapple blossoms each spring. At dusk, the calls of foxes, the howls of coyotes, and the haunting hoots of owls create a night symphony.
The various flower yards, carved from the woods, reflect the very essence of this land. You won’t find flat & open fields in full sun here. Instead, this land is dynamic, with some crops in full sun, full shade, on hillsides & foraged from the marsh. Above all, it is our sanctuary—a refuge from the world's chaos, where nature’s beauty envelops us and whispers of peace fill every corner.
