We harvest flowers daily. Early before things get too hot, and late when things cool back down. Those headlamps campers use are exactly what is needed for illuminating each stem.
We start by having very clean buckets with plain water.
We start by having very clean buckets with plain water.
Some flowers dirty the water when first cut. Those go into their own bucket, and we switch out with clean water several times.
After getting a good drink, each stem is stripped of leaves. We use the extra leaves and any stems that are too long and need trimming to go into a bin. All of it goes out to our compost pile.
We clean all of our ball jars, washing them thoroughly so nothing but clear glass remains.
Then we assemble the bouquets!
We deliver weekly to several restaurants, to the Farmers Market in Hershey, to our Flower CSA members, to chefs for edible flowers and for events! We can design for exactly a certain look or structure.
August production is high! Flowers are lovely to have in the house.
