Have you ever wanted to grow your very own cut flower garden? Imagine it with me: you walk out to your garden and cut beautiful fresh flowers to have in your home whenever you want. Sounds pretty amazing, right?
Unfortunately, you can’t run to Home Depot (or even your local nursery!) and buy the type of flowers that we grow here on the farm. They are special varieties and colors that are bred specifically for cut flowers; long, strong stems and extended vase life. Often, you’ll only be able to find them as seed/bare root and need to grow them yourself.
This is the part where we come in! We think everyone should be able to grow gorgeous cut flowers at home, so we decided to make it possible. We’re growing *thousands* of the exact same plants we put in the ground for our UPick fields, and having a plant sale.
The best part? Our plant sale falls right before Mother’s Day this year. Surprise mom with a dream garden set up, too!
Here are the details:
WHEN: May 3rd and 4th, 2025, 10am-2pm
WHERE: Fox and the Buck Farm: 280 Northfield Rd. Litchfield CT 06759
WHAT: Cut flower varieties of zinnia, celosia, amaranth, cosmos, and sunflowers. Dahlia tubers. Merch and Gift Cards!
A little more: our tubers had a rough winter in storage. They’re not the prettiest. But they’re all pre-sprouted and viable! To make up for the lack of appearance (as if tubers can be cute) we’re selling ALL VARIETIES for $5/each. It’s kind of insane to do this, but we really don’t want to waste perfectly good tubers. Our pain is your gain!
A Preview of the Season
We are so so excited to welcome you to the farm for our season’s kick-off event! This year is going to be a special one. We hope to have lots more community events, and of course tons of UPicks!!
Starting in July we will have several Sunflower UPicks. Come see thousands of happy sunflowers blooming and cut your own bouquet to take home.
Girl’s night is about to take on a whole new meaning. Text your besties and head out to the flower fields for a fun sunset event. Wine and snacks will be included in the ticket price, along with your own bouquet of flowers.
The standard Upick weekends you’ve come to know and love will be back and more frequent! We’re growing more flowers than ever before and the fields will be bursting with amazing color all summer and fall.
Autumn on the farm is going to be just as incredible! The dahlias really hit their stride in August and September, and the pumpkins will be ready for picking in time for all the fall vibes. We’re also growing heirloom corn this year, too. Look for fall events on our social media as the time comes!
And of course, sooner than we can imagine, our Christmas Trees will be ready for cutting. They’re growing taller each season and are waiting patiently to become part of your holiday traditions.
