One of our favorites growers is Fantastic Gardens of Long Island. They have a huge selection of hard-to-find flowering plants and cacti at the Union Square Farmers Market.

Vanishing Point Farm comprises 40 acres of farmland, woodlands and marshes in the Hudson Valley. Owned and operated by a family of three - Lily Bruder-Zal, Isaac Zal, and their daughter Vinca, visiting this gorgeous oasis near the Catskills is one of my favorite places to visit. Lily’s love of the rare and unusual cuts is always an inspiration.

Growing in the Catskills in South Cairo Bernadette retails and wholesales at Union Square 3 times per week. You’ll know it’s River Garden because they wrap their generous bunches in compostable recyclable white paper.

Hickory Grove Gardens is owned and operated by Julia Bull.  Julia grew up in Media, Pennsylvania, surrounded by her mother's beautiful gardens. Julia has always found happiness and peace in being outside. Her love of all things nature led her to a degree in Environmental Studies from Ursinus College, later to work for a Landscape Design Firm, and a dairy farm. All the while, Julia had a cutting garden and found joy in making flower arrangements. Hickory Grove Gardens offers flowers and foliage to local florists and designers. 

Now in our sixth growing season, our main production farm and our design studio is situated in a 5.5 acre, certified-organic field. Lovingly named “the lower meadow,” this field is situated at the bottom of a wooded hill, surrounded by the forests abutting the beautiful Connecticut River. In 2023, we will produce our summer annuals on an auxiliary 1.5-acre, certified-organic field, as we are dedicated to low-till farming and crop rotation, giving the earth much-needed time to rest. We rent both parcels, which are located on unceded Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land.

Anderson Acres is a 200 acre estate located in Kent, Connecticut. Its land has been in agricultural use since the early 1900s. After being tended to by three generations of the Anderson family, for whom the property is still named, the farm was purchased by the Saltz family in 2011. Its rolling hills, pastures, and wetlands are being preserved in conjunction with the Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy, ensuring that this lovely acreage will remain ecologically sound for generations to come.

Little Hen Farm is a small flower farm located on 4 beautiful acres in North Haven, CT. We specialize in seasonal, specialty cut flowers for special orders, DIY buckets, wholesale, and flowering the New Haven area. While we only cultivate a small portion of these acres, we do so intensively. Along with flowers we have a small flock of chickens and a large garden where we grow food for our family and friends. We grow as naturally as possible, without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, and with minimal tillage. Our flower arrangements are whimsical and have a wild garden style. We believe that local is always better.
