Meet the farmers
We're the Grinthal family: Andy, Linda, Emma and Dan!
We use all natural methods in our fields and gardens. Each one of your tubers is carefully dug, washed, and divided by hand by our family and a small team of fellow dahlia lovers.
Farming is challenging work, but it's a joy to work together as a family bringing beauty into the world.
If there's anything we can do to help your dahlia garden thrive, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help.

Our Story
We didn't start with dahlias!
We started selling a few bunches of Zinnias at the end of our driveway in 2013 when Linda suggested it as a way for John (son #2) to earn enough money to buy a basketball hoop. Andy and John weren't sure it would work, but mother knows best. Today we are blessed to be spreading smiles through local flower stands that we just can't seem to keep full, along with a small commercial cut flower operation.
But what about Dahlias? Several years after getting started with Zinnias, Andy discovered Dahlias growing in one of our community gardener's plots and planted a few dozen tubers the next season.
The harvest grew over several years of cultivation, experimentation, and feedback from our flower stand customers. Until in 2021 we finally had enough Dahlias to offer for sale online for the first time.
We weren't sure that would work either!
But fast forward to today and we are happy to be sharing the bounty of our farm with gardeners throughout Sussex County and all over the United States.
Please feel free to reach out us with questions and comments. We also love to see photos from our customers' gardens. From all of us at the Sunset View Farm community, thank you for your support!
