Are there flower farmers that are also florist?

Yes, there are flower farmers who also work as florists. These individuals, often referred to as farmer-florists, grow their own flowers and use them to create floral arrangements. Farmer-florists are involved in both the cultivation and the artistic design of floral creations, such as bouquets, centerpieces, and event arrangements.

This dual role allows them to:

1. Ensure Quality: They have complete control over the flower-growing process, from seed to bloom.

2. Promote Sustainability: Farmer-florists often prioritize eco-friendly and seasonal practices.

3. Offer Unique Products: They can grow specialty blooms not commonly available through wholesale markets.

4. Tell a Story: Their arrangements often have a personal touch since they’ve nurtured the flowers themselves.

Farmer-florists are becoming increasingly popular in local and seasonal flower movements. Many focus on direct-to-consumer sales through farmer’s markets, subscription services, or special events.

Little Petal Farm is a farmer-florist business. We truly love growing our own flowers and using them in the arrangements we design for our clients.
